These are my line-up of self-made banners (and upcoming banners) on my blog. I love my banners. They give an impression to your blog and it always catches the attention of readers first. I don’t give a specific date when I change banners. I create new ones when I feel like to and change/ repeat banners to match my current mood. Hope you like them ^_^. [Note: These banners are not yet in their exact header sizes, they still need to be cropped.]

EARLY BANNERS
——————————————————–
Ai No Ether - The title came from the ED theme of Macross Frontier on episode 21, sung by none other than, Ranka herself (Nakajima Megumi). I love Ranka and I love this picture of her that’s why I decided to extract it. I was just starting to use PS in these times that’s why it’s kinda grainy… Forgive me for that…
——————————————————–
The Palmtop Tiger – This fierce number fits the Tsundere Tiger from ToraDora, Taiga. I matched the background to her personality and attitude. I used strong and bright colors and I got the character scan from the manga. I like the white-to-black text on my blog’s name.
——————————————————–
Blue Secret – I got the vector from Nogizaka Haruka’s Character CD and I change the background and had fun experimenting with retro brushes. The result is a refreshing light blue bliss.
——————————————————–
Life in Mono – Little Busters’ Rin Black and White Header. The header portrays the dark side of the Key game Little Busters. Random drops and chaotic brushes experimented on my header turns out to give a dark and mysterious aura.
——————————————————–
Rush!!! - A cute Persona 4 header!!! I made a special place for my pages as you can see (the brown space down)… I find this header fun and colorful. Actually, I only made this at midnight and I’m totally sleepy but it turned out nice ^_^.

Ver. 1
Ver. 2
Splendor Love – I decided to create a header portraying seduction and sensuality so I made a VK header using my favorite characters, Rima and Shiki. Credit goes to wingedkupoheart from deviantart.com for the wonderful fanart.

Ver. 1
Ver. 2
Death by the Bell - A tribute to Enma Ai winning Anime’s Next Top Model Season 1!!! Congratulations Ai!!! As you can see, they’re both dark and gives off an eerie feeling. The first one has more blue tones while the second one has different bright colors.

For Little Busters, you could put the text in the right bottom corner.
Yay for black and white header
I like it the most due to the pleasant confusion a spectator might experience examining it. We can see the nature after the rain with some water on the ground and rare drops falling from the trees. The girl’s position seem parallel rather than perpendicular to the ground, and it takes some time to see what she is actually doing.
@Kitsune: Glad that you loved it ^_^… Nice to see you back commenting here Kitsune-kun. I thought you got mad at me or something for what I did last time with the r-word… sorry about that again… But I’m glad that you’re not
I hope so..
Don’t worry, I am not mad at you
Cool ones.
Kanzeon…I simply love that VK banner of yours. Rima is my favorite character from VK.
That’s some good extracting…I reckon you use PS?
@dantetheanimelover: Thanks ^_^
@7: Rima is also my favorite character from Vampire Knight, along with Shiki. Actually, they are the only reasons why I’m following Vk… Btw, glad you love it ^_^ and yes I’m using PS (before, I use MS Powerpoint XD), I’m kinda new to PS so I’m just experimenting stuff.
You’ll learn in time…I’ve been using PS for over two years now and I still haven’t mastered anything. Can’t you believe I use lasso tool before I realized there was extraction? I don’t use it hardcore for art. I just learn as need be.
@7: I just only do the “What does this button do?” thing then I ended up learning one step at a time (trust me, I use the eraser tool before discovering the rectangular lasso XD)… Hope we would be both better sometime ^_^… I only started using PS because of banners and icons:)
Come on! I know you could make an OAA(original anime art) ones!
You make cool headers! most of mine are wired and boaring XD
@sonikuchan: Thank you ^^. Just have fun making headers and add a touch of yourself and trust me, the outcome will be awesome ^_^.
what is your current banner based on?
