Before anyone says anything, I will have the banners cut so the loading time on them wont take so long. And also, the two banners look the same because Ill be having a random php banner script put in there for random banners, anyways…

Suggestions please:

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions :slight_smile: Nope, I didnt make the characters myself, I cut parts of them out of screenshots that I found at: http://www.tribalwar.com/media/index.php?cat_id=2

The text on the bottom really isnt meant to be visable, which is the reason why I have it so light. I’m going to make an image map around that though, and when they see it and “roll over” it, itll be glowing white and be a link to that site.

As for the tutorial part, its pretty basic :thumb: I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to line out the black, filled it in, contracted it 2 times by five then made it 90% opacity. The background is from another screenshot, just gave that a fill of 50%, cut out the characters with the same Polygonal Lasso Tool and gave it a small dropshadow, and the same with the black lines.

Thanks again peeps :love:
