Updated with an alpha set I've been thinking of for a while now. Not sure if I made it too complicated... I used brushes as textures, lines, motion blur, lots of re-coloring, seven screencaps... I think it turned out too congested. Oh well

I like it! Great concept. I agree with EWR though, the pink line in the middle splits the banner a little.

Haha, is it pink? Looks white to me. May have to fix that Thanks for the kind words - *karma* Xaphania - I take it the splitting is a bad thing? That's kind of what I was going for...

lol the lines were to show the disparity of alpha with his surroundings, whooshing by, unnoticing. does this help the banner flow a little better? taking out the middle lines?

I think that one flows better, you can still see the grungey brush to show the splitting of Alpha, it was just the pink line was very stark in the first banner, making me think it was two separate pictures. I really like how he fades from grey to purple, with a slightly different facial expression in each pic.

Thanks! It was very dramatic on first viewing, I'm glad the 3-part facial expression came across! I think I went overboard on the Echo-in-motion part. I should just direct video I always seem to try to recreate the exact scene in 2-D... never works lol.

Omfg I am in love with your "Poor Neck" set I don't know white avatar I like best... they are both great captions... hmmm, I maybe like the "Make Her Stop" text little more because I love that line.. but I love the whole thing! Duel banner is awesome too, you're soooo good at all of them. How did you get your images so crisp and well-coloured in Poor Neck? It just screams high quality! Mine never look that hot! What tools do you use most? I'm spewing cos I can't get downloaded brushes to work in my PS... it's a fake version so it doesn't have a brushes folder in the prog file... dammit!

Aww shucks, Jess, you're so sweet! Erm, honestly, I don't remember how I got the pictures to look so crisp! I spent SOOO long on it though. I think I started messing around with the "Adjustment Layers" hue/saturation, levels, and brightness/contrast, trying to make things pop. It was probably a brightness/contrast adjustment layer that did it. EDIT: updated with request set (or two) for drusillacakes

Thanks for the feedback!
I wanted something to frame their gaze a little more, without it, it looks almost stretched, or leaking vertically. The box keeps the eyes in the center, horizontally, which is where the eye gaze should be.
I'd rather have put on a regular frame, but I haven't figured out how to do that in photoshop.

I tried just selecting the area and brushing it the correct color. That seems to work well enough. Tried a semi-transparent recessed frame, suits it well I think.
