Here's a list of all the stuff I've done in Photoshop. Not posting all of it, just what I feel like showing.

C+C are welcome
You're getting gooood. I like all of them. I particularly like the cool, star effect on Linkman's banner.
Mine's the best, of course. ;)
ty :cool:
Yeah, I'm pretty fond of yours, myself. :D
I like, though the fonts could use work. Always the hardest part to get right :(
And you never did tell me what brush set you use. :)
Never did? I wasn't aware you asked me... O_o
Must've been away from the computer.
Anyway, it's an ancient Chinese secret. :cool:
In an inrelated note, Hyper has 1,666 posts. :(
i got a really good idea, can you make me one!?
If your looking to hone your skillz Alastor, you should start taking requests. You'd be amazed by some of the things people want you to make. Heck, you might even surprise yourself:cool2:
Heh, maybe. Still, what I was trying to say is that until I'm confident enough that I can freely take requests, I'm probably not going to. :)
They look pretty good. You still seem to be new to photoshop so I'll give you that, Anyways Roger is right. Requests are the best way to get better.
Yeah, finally something new. Banner for maian completed like 5 minutes ago. Enjoy.
I love the one you made for coromoro, please tell me how you made that background. It is awesom.
Can't do that. Then you'd steal my technique. :mad:
Did you teach yourself to create the background styles, or did you use a tutorial? J/w because although i repect that you don't want to divulge your texhniques, i would like to know since I want to try some of that crazy shyt out.
Keep up the good work, Alastor. Its really awesome.
It differs from background to background. Some of them I've used tutorials as a guide with, but messed with the formula and created my own unique look. :)
Where do you most commonly go for tutorials? Pixel2Life? Tutorialized?
Usually Good-Tutorials, but I've got to where I just go wherever. I'll get to browsing, find some tut site, make the banner, forget what the site was. >_>
Sounds good. I'll looks to see if I can find some Alastor style hidden in some of the pages.
Heheh. :cool:
I've decided to open up and take some requests. Post here or PM me with specs.
You must be a decent member who has been here for a bit, though. Not cranking out for any people with like 6 posts... -_-
100 posts or more. ;)
Oh oh! Pick me! But instead of a signature, would you be open for making avatars? I'm really needing a new one. If yes, post here and I'll PM my requests.
100 posts? Geez........ I guess it'll be a while, unless you want to take my request. :-D
Good thing you left one.
Yeah, I'll try an avatar. PM me with the specs.
FlipBoy, I'll try yours. If I actually know who you are, you don't necessarily need the 100 posts.
Taken care of.
Finished FLiPBoY's banner.
Edit: If you can't read it, which I doubt you can unless you're OMFG 1337 ZELDA NERD, the Hylian text says FLiPBoY. :)
X-cellent, as usual.
Haha.. Thats what it meant.. Looks nice.. Thanks!
Got two new banners for you guys today. One was requested by Pit, and the other is a new personal one. Enjoy.
GJ on the new one.
One more thing. If I make a banner for you, please do not hotlink it. My Photobucket is very capable of running out of bandwidth, and I don't need people hotlinking off of it. Thanks.
The one for Pit is excellent. Just wondering; do you usually put the text in the upper left corner?
On my banners, I put them wherever I feel like, or where it won't clash with the pic if there's one in it. Pit requested the text be exactly where it is. >_>
Just finished one for Killer Jordo. I like the BG, but I don't think the text is all that great.
Eh, whatever. Here.
That, and I made this for Velvet last night.
The Unreal font looks ok in Jordo's, and I'll put mine up soon.
Finished this a little while ago. Not using it quite yet because my Shadow theme is still quite fresh, but I felt like getting thoughts on it.
Very nice how you multi colored. It reminds me like.. Theres a sun coming from the top right, shining its ways down the the grass (green) and to the ocean (blue).
New banner. It's nothing much, just an edit of my VGC one. Uses the background from the last banner I made, since I thought it was a little empty and too big.
THANKS ALOT FOR COMMENTING GUYS NOW I TOTALLY HAVE TO MAKE A DOUBLE POST YEAH THANKS :mad:
New banner. I'm not too sure of the font, though..
Nice work. I like them a lot. Where did you get your brushes?
Just random places, usually. I'll be looking around some resource sites on Google, find what I'm looking for, then forget about the site 'cause I no longer need it. >_>
I like your current one right now.. Who is that person on the bottom left corner from?
Another double post. :mad:
Made a wallpaper. Hope you enjoy. If anyone wants it, tell me and I'll make a 800x600.
Until then..
http://www.zeldaages.net/imghost/uploads/DarkSamusgif3.gif
HEY GUYS HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY POST SO I CAN STOP THIS :mad:
Two new banners. One for moi and one for coromoro.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/pza_alastor_sc/Alastor9.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/pza_alastor_sc/Coromoro2.png
...No offense, but you can Edit your posts to add to them, Alastor. >.<
Your wallpaper's nice, though. Nice work on that. ^.^
Yeah, but then nobody knows that I even updated at all. >_>
Exactly. I allow double posting in this case as editing does nothing to revive the thread and its best to keep it all in the same one.
Oh, okay. I understand. ^.^
Now that I took a look at the banners, I like those, too. The color scheme you chose for Coromoro's banner, with the assorted blues and the translucent wave in the upper half, looked quite nice against the platinum username in the corner. The one you made for yourself is nice, as well. What technique did you use to make them? I haven't seen that style used often.
It's just a soft abstract banner. I actually made that mostly with a tut. >_>;;
Abstract. It's the same style he's been using since day one:p
Ah, I see. I just wasn't familiar with his art style, other than the banner in his sig. I suppose I'm just not the type exposed to alot of abstract art, methinks. ^.^
New wallpaper. I didn't make this, really. It's art from the new Zelda game. I just enlarged it to a background size. The size isn't exact, though, because had I stretched it to be exact the characters would be all weird-looking.

Omg your Dark Samus pwnz it r0x0rz.
The width is 914px and the height is 685px.
...what? Neither of my backgrounds are that size...
Dark Samus: 1024x768
Zelda 05: 1152x768
Sure it was magnified at 100%, FLiPBoY?
Rawr. New one. I've actually had this for a while, just haven't posted it.

The [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/pza_alastor_sc/Angelwing.png]original version[/url] was for Angelwing, but she didn't really like the background, so I just slapped my name on it and had myself a new sig.
EDIT: I don't have Photoshop on my new computer yet, so what non-existant requests I'm getting will have to wait until further notice.
that one is my favorite out of all your work. great job!
I LOVE the picture (Etna 4evar) but you really need to spiff up that background some.
To prevent being a full month since my last update, here's stuff.

Enjoy.
Really good, i like all of em'. Have you ever tried making fullsized pictures instead of banners? I made my current one and with your artistic skill ;) you could probabley make a kick arse one too
Haven't really given it a try. I prefer banners more, but I might try it if I get bored.
The technique you used to make Coromoro's is getting old to me Alastor...good anyway.
It's abstract. It's what I do. >='(
WELL YOUR FACE IS GETTING BORING
sorry roger i'll try harder :(
I hope Im decent enough. :(
Just tell me if you can and I tell you what I want.
