I can try some more stuff later. It would help if I knew exactly what the size constraints are though. I just used a standard banner size.

Ok here's anouther go at it I used metros template for it so its a little larger.



I have one more thought and thats to do it with out the marble background and leave the back trasparent. If you can upload a background image for the forum I could give you a nice be tile of black marble for it.




Hmm I kinda like with the marble better.

That seems a hair TOO dark for me on the marble. Can I see one where the sword is REALLY long and it's the point coming through on the other side?

grin really, I thought it had a nice pop to it.

I try making the blade longer on one and posting it a little later.

Any thoughts on the background?

Should I just use flat black or keep the marble theme or something else?

definately not flat black, I think...maybe try to find a marble-type pattern that looks a litter better black. I know theres black looking marble out there somewhere. The way it is now just looks like bad smoke on black background.

Try <here>. Not really marble, but looks kinda cool. I just started with a google image search of 'black marble'...theres a bunch of em. Maybe if you were to compress your current texture so the marble looks further away..

thats kind of funny because I made the black and white marble to same way :)
I guess I can try to tweak it some more.
I can make the veins in the marble any size however the smaller the veins the harder it is to tell what it is.

The first 2 are alright, I like the clear background on the one, it could be used for posting on various forums, if they have an odd background color.  The scrll one is very nice.  I like that alot.

I think we should give the scroll one a try but its an odd size so it may or may not need some tweeking and or shrinking.

I think it looks good up there... I guess I didn't do a bad job for 4 hours of work.

I kinda thought it might be a little on the big side...:/

This is my musing from a couple of days ago...not perfected, but I figured I'd put it up and worry about fixing it if people like it.

Well it is a little bigger than a normal banner would be.
I'll reduce it by 10% and see how that looks.

edit: ok reduced it should be able to just refresh and see it.
