Hmm.... only one of those appears to be showing up for me... I'll have to follow up on that later.
I've been considering an upgrade to the latest vbulletin for like the last 2 years (even more the last 2 months thanks to vb3.7), but it means gigantic migration and basically re-themeing the forums from scratch, because of the number of changed and updated templates, functions and hooks. I'm no graphic designer (... just look at my sig for evidence there).
I'd love to update the look and feel of the forums, and get a bunch of the new features of 3.6 and 3.7 (ajax reputations, edit history, built-in image gallery, tagging, relationship stuff, wall-style public messaging, user-defined usergroups, tons of other cool shit). But I just don't have the motivation to fix the theme or make a new one...
Lucifus delivers again, those are great looking. I hope to see a forum upgrade soon.

The first two are definitely keepers
I planned to do like 10 decent ones tonight, but had some creepy shyt happen at my house and been too spooked to set foot back in my room till now. -_-
So i'll post the only two I have done so far.
I feel a few shiny new banners will be a nice breath o fresh air.
This is from my last banner update, I like er; maybe Complich didnt see em. Lets send a pm eh.

Can i also have a crack at it?
Haven't used photoshop in a while, this would be a good opportunity to get some of the rust off
Lucifus: Nice. Added...
Kagemane_no_Jutsu: Interesting, but yer doin it wrong. Matching the borders is a requirement. The diagonal pinstripe thing ... maybe not so much, I dunno.
Archangel: Sure, just make sure you pay attention to the images that already exist as examples.
Can i use the series currently "En Fuego" ?
I'd love to see some Soul Eater banners up there
If they look pretty good and the format's right, I don't really mind either way.
Yeah... the rust isn't coming off as easily as i hoped
I know it's crap, but am i at least on the right track with the proportions?
Also i would appreciate some advice, especially since i just recently got CS4

ok, while the diagonal pinstripe thing is somewhat of a softer requirement, the horizontal lines .... that ain't gonna fly
Other than that, I dunno, if the borders match up (including the gradient, watch that...) then you might be on the right track. I've got no photoshop skills, so no advice for you on that one though.
hows this?

Just place your banner below this layer. This alone will count as the border, just put a background and render in their.
Banner Preset.PSD - Mediafire
I'll upload the scanlines pattern in a lil bit. Just make sure the scanlines are barely noticeable by killing to opacity to about 10%.
Edit: Scanlines:
GW Scanlines - White.PSD - Mediafire
Open that up, select all (CTRL+A), Edit>Define Pattern>GW Scanlines - Save.
It'll now be in your pattern overlays.

Here's something i'm working on
It's not even nearly complete, but it's time for bed right now and i wanted to hear some opinions
Its good.... but scanlines over the entire banner as always makes me not want to like it as much. Try just putting it over the bg and this will hopefully make the render really stand out.
I really do like it. The only change i'd make is to bring the text layers above the C4D.
Simple Render, C4D, and Text. Simplicity is bliss.
Edit: And ya, same as above.
Scanlines are okay, as long as they're not gigantic and set aside like gw's standard. Lower the opacity on that baby pronto.
its bliss if you don't enjoy putting in some time and effort I guess.
Decided to try some more stuff b4 going to sleep
Any thoughts Lucifus?
@Kage: Maybe this is the best some of us can do even after putting in time and effort...
Archie, good work with this one. Big improvement from the Medusa one. The text in your second version looks perfect. The white outline however just ruins it for me. It's just too jarring. I'd say, go back to what you had in your first version, and then selectively delete your scanlines over top of the render, until you get a balance of 'clean' to 'scanny' that suits you.
