I've been thinking a lot about updating the banners on the many sites I use. This is one of two I've worked on recently. There's not much for me to say about it, but I'd love to hear your feedback. :)
OOOOOOH! That's really pretty! The shadows are placed nicely, and I love the implication of a selfie. Rain's hair looks amazing and the background blend is absolutely gorgeous!
simple and thematically solid.
considering how much the rest of the cast is pushing things along might want to rotate it with other banners that have them.
Gorgeous! I love the energy here! Plus it kinda represents how much less introverted shes gotten over the series, it really speaks to her growth as a character
I love it! The selfie approach works really well and her happiness is infectious. I'm a little torn on whether it'd look better with both eyes open vs the wink, but I like the energy of the wink.
Ooh, feedback? I love this banner for lots of reasons (happy, confident Rain; Kaminari logo; awesome trans flag background), but for the sake of completeness I also want to say that her hand seems slightly off to me.
For me, when my ring finger touches the base of my hand, as Rain's does here, the ring finger also pulls my middle finger forward. I read somewhere that this is because the middle finger and the ring finger share a tendon, and I think most people have this limitation. Rain however, in this picture, is touching the base of her hand while also having her middle finger leaning right back. I can't tell if this is accidental or on purpose. This could just be a special talent she has.
As a bit of a tangent, at secondary school I had a friend who couldn't cross his legs, but could comfortably kneel while also sitting directly on the floor and with his feet either side of him behind him instead of sitting on his feet. He said that this was because he was born with his muscles connected oppositely compared to most other people. So Rain could be similar, but in her hand.
The pic looks great. I love the bannor background and the shadowing. The camera holding arm is at a funny angle to me though. Have you considered a 3D approach where the arm looks larger as it gets closer to the screen or whatever?
You know, when I first saw this banner I actually thought the character shown was Jocelyn's avatar. Probably because at the start Rain had the long hair covering one eye look and this character had short hair and two eyes. Now I just feel kind of silly

Also I was wondering if there was a way I could send FanArt
Hi as a late Rain Beau I wanted to ask if i could see a picture of the old banner
