Oh wow, kudos for doing multiple ships! Okay, so here's my play by play:
Bangel Banner:
Awe, you did Bangel! Yay! When I first saw it I thought "Oh wow, no caption" but I really don't think one is needed, you know? You picked a simple scene that had a lot of emotion, and I think how you put it together and the photo choice actually speaks for itself. And if you can pick those moments out that will really help you with banners/BG's, I'm jealous!
Spuffy Banner:
I hate Spuffy, but I'm in love with that banner. The screen-y thing doing on is really nice, and the blending is mucho awesome. The caption is just perfect, I can't picture it with any other font. Great work on this one!
Cangel Banner:
Again, no caption but not a bad thing, and I give you credit for putting so many effects on this one. I think that doing something different with this one would have been nice (fewer photos, cropping them differently or having some different effects for each section maybe?), but you're experimenting to some extent which is good to see. It didn't blow me away like the other two, but it's still kind of a "raw emotion" banner, which I love about your art.
So overall awesome hun! You're doing SO well! :thumbsup:
