@Inx
Wow~
God-like and awesome? XD
You think so? Thank you very much, Inx. ^^

I also wears glasses actually. XD
But I love the bloom, soft, and bright effects. Even sometimes it hurts my eye at little. lol! XD

And by the way, no problem. I like doing these things. XD

@Thana
Whoops, sorry thana. DX
After *staring* your banner and icon for some moment...
I figured it out that your claims somehow get over bloomed(bloom = glowy like thingy.) and such. And that what makes your claims went too bright.
fail. X_X

So I reduced it's bloom effect around Len's skin since just by reducing the overall brightness will make her looks... kinda dark... o_O
So I just reducing the brightness a little, so you will still see a white skin Len instead of light brown Len. XD (Len is not suppose to have a brown skin!! >.<)
I also reduced the size of grain effect in the icon.
After so few... yet so many changes, the filesize increased a bit, just a little though. And she looks much sharper now. :P
So here it is...

Banner [107.3 KB] :

Hope you like it now. XD
And tell me if you think she still too bright for you.
I will remove the first banner/icon in my previous post, but later until you finished comparing the new one with the old one. XD

Thanatos' request... Complete! XD
(YAY!! for Len!! I like Len too you know. XD)

Banner [106 KB] : (I really like the Len's pose in this banner. XD)

I hope you like it, Than. ^^
I know it's somewhat BRIGHT, but it really matches well with Len (I think. :P).
But if you want me to reduce the brightness, just tell me. ^^

@Inx
Wow~ I'm really glad that you LOVE it. XD
Well, I know very well that I'm still not good enough at making banner for male characters. ^^

So IT IS too bright... I got that feeling too, you know. That is the reason why I was asking you about that. XD
Btw, here's the fixed one [13.92 KB] :

<img src="http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6104/inxclaimsiggyv2.jpg" />

I reduced the brightness JUST a little, since I'm trying to make a matching banner and icon (talking about the brightness...). ^^'
So I can't completely remove the bright effect on Shizuo. T_T
Well, I hope this one is better. ^^

Thx Inx. But your works are also great, you know. XD
You can make a great works in a short amount of time, but me... it tooks forever. T_T (at least one day.)
I'm slow~~ T_T

@All
Starts from now, I will include the filesize of the image i've created, since I think this pretty much important to be known by the requester.
With this, requester is well aware about the filesize before putting it up in his/her profile, signature or any other places. ^^

And I think I'll take a break for a moment, I have to do something else. ^^'
So someone please take animeanimaxgurlfreak's request.
It's in page 30.

and by the way, please don't change claimed character frequently as the rules said that. (see rules in page 0 for more information...) ^^
Maybe that's all.
