Hi Folks,
So, I finally succumbed and I am becoming addicted to digital art. I made my first banner!
Not perfect I know, but I am pretty proud!
I also went on to make it an animated gif with Pedro's NCIS one he made for me... My was the animation part easy!
I'd love to hear comments!
I would also like to thank the following:
- Chris aka grave - Chris has spent time sorting out tutorials for me, offering support and encouragement and a constructive eye! Thank you sincerely!
- Lior - Lior has encouraged my efforts in the art competitions and has been so encouraging. His work is also something to aspire to! (EDIT: So, I realised I said "encouraging" twice, I meant to say Lior has been a source of inspiration to me!)
- Pedro - Pedro is a great guy all round, but I have always been envious (in a good way) of his artistic talents, he threw down a gauntlet without even knowing!

Way to go, Vicks! The banner is awesome! You did a truly great work with the layout, the blending and the cool glow effect on the font. So, keep them coming! ;D P.S. Thanks for the nice words.

Off-topic but I'll let the mods tell me off (LOL) but I brought myself one of the spring-loaded lighsabres the other week... Fun times! A vast improvement on the original lightsabre that left a good 2 feet sticking out.

This stuff is addictive! ;D I had a go at making a wallpaper, comments appreciated! I got into trouble last night, I got caught up making stuff and forgot to tape Grey's Anatomy! Still this is fun and I am getting a bit quicker! Am I fixated much?

So, I have jokingly and loosely renamed this thread "My Portfolio"! I had a go at playing homage to Spidey 3 due to the imminent release over here! Comments appreciated :-)
