Nice contrast with the rest of the forum and the color is easy on the eyes. As for the banner, I think the blurred effect adds to the background, making it look almost like a painting, but not so much Sonic and the Wisps.

Fix the errors in the banner maybe... I would love to, AI is one of my favorite skins but I feel it needs tweaking more. In what way? Also I suppose I could redo the banner, in a like manner. I did a few more tweaks to Planet Wisp(new buttons, touched up the banner, etc) and Spin Slash Act 2. I also organized the first post. Anyway responding to this post again, what about Angel Island would you like to see changed? Edited by Neo Metallix, Mar 14 2013, 09:05 PM.

However, I think you over looked my comment. Either that or you don't feel like adding my suggestion, which is fine either way. xD Lilfate Oil Ocean could use a cool banner. Its the only skin without one... On that note, Oil Ocean was the level I hated the most for some reason, so I could careless about the skin, wont be using it

On that note, Oil Ocean was the level I hated the most for some reason, so I could careless about the skin, wont be using it I like it but I think that'll be something I do towards the end after I work on all the other skins first. Maybe even longer because I want some inspiration for the banner first rather than it being the same old style of banner. On a side note, Twin Propeller has a new banner and name change to Tails Blast. Edited by Neo Metallix, Mar 15 2013, 02:23 PM.

But I like the dedication you put into the skins. Most forums have a few skins that never change. Good job.

And the banner to Planet Wisp does look nicer.

I really like how the banner turned out and was looking for opinions. I removed the underline beneath links, changed the banner and banner position.

Il Piantissimo Posts: 3,320 Group: Former Monarchs Member #9,741 Joined: February 7, 2009 Gender: Male Nintendo ID: Piantab	I took a look at the Planet Wisp banner and I noticed an effect/filter you used - was it on purpose to make everything look more chrome-y? Or? Because to me it looks blurred out and vague and even though it's resized, the image of Sonic is still blurred. From a graphic designer point of view, I would suggest you unblur it so it all looks crisp and clean again. Though I don't know precisely what you were going for, but those are my two cents. Also while editing this posts I noticed the post box is dark pink while the text is orange. This is something that could not be easy on the eyes as for I having trouble seeing my text... (Yes I'm a graphic designer I notice these things. xD)

(Yes I'm a graphic designer I notice these things. xD) Hmm the text is a good observation. However I'm kinda surprised you didn't see what I was going for with the banner. It's supposed to look like a painting. Making them crisp would conflict with the background because the background certainly is not crisp and clean. The image is resized but only reduced, I didn't enlarge it. As you can see from the original official art the whole thing is clean but I didn't want to go for that. http://www.sonicwrecks.com/dep/bgs/colours/colours_bg1_eu.jpg?phpMyAdmin=4H1XV2gW2d2FeADA9AdomS0Uqtb

Because it is looking quite good.

I might continue tweaking it but what do you think of the concept?

Flying Battery Act 1 Posts: 918 Group: C Rank Hero Member #12,994 Joined: May 25, 2012 Gender: Male Country: Canada Game Currently Playing: Final Fantasy X HD	For looks, the new "Dreamcaster!" banner is awesome. xD I wouldn't change it, in that respect. However, the way Sonic's hand goes up underneath the "Members" and "Calendar" button sort of makes the text hard to read, since it's a light grey and his gloves are white. In contrast, the way the banner extends off the bottom of its space isn't an issue, because any text it goes under is orange. So, I guess I would suggest either darkening the text for the buttons in the row with "Members" and "Calendar", or mayyybeee shrinking the banner a bit. I'd rather see it as-is though, so I'm more inclined to recommend the former.
	Thanks again to Parabola for the awesome signature!
