    hmmm... I think a loose definition would be someone who:
    1) has never had or has had open for less than 2 months a sig shop
    OR
    2) someone that has never made or made fewer than a dozen +/- piece here for other people. Sigs and artwork for yourself is not counted.

    Experience prior to here does not factor in.

    I think that would be fair in assessing "new" but i'm open to suggestions... I think we know that people like Morgan, LadyHawk, Don, ect... are not new. So this is some what subjective.

    This is beautiful... I like the effects... the simplicity... I do think you have the ability to do much much more though.

The smaller text gets a little lost in the background, maybe a shadow for the letters and the knight (which I absolutely love) is so much sharper in contrast than everything else... but even so my attention is drawn to design behind him more than the knight himself.

    LOL ok hands down... that clock is awesome... I know i discouraged animations, but that is so Evony. The brush work and text have great flow. I don't really have much I could say about changes or improvement.



    You all have done a great job... I'm hoping one or two more will respond to the invites to participate and that more of the other GFX guys will give comments.

    I like the =POP= of nitekiller's banner. I totally agree about the text getting lost, but I think he is filling the banner well and everything important is in there. ~Jade~'s animated clock is beautiful, but the banner has a gothic feel that doesn't mesh with the evony graphical style. I like the tongue-in-cheek spinning clock motif though.

    I guess my ideal choice would be for the knight, Evony font and background from nitekiller, married to the understanding of clear text and spinning clock of ~Jade~'s.

    SirS: I think the streaks across the top look a bit messy across your screenshot/edited "Evony" thing, and the text at the bottom doesn't match. And a little more blending/editing to the banner might help, since right now, I think it looks like the forum banner+some color edits+streaks+some extra text.

    Nate: I think it's fine the way it is in terms of simplicity. Nice job rendering out the Evony. However, the black text doesn't fit with your colored Evony part, since the Evony part is complex and stands out from the rest too much.

    Nitekiller: It's a bit messy (and pixelized) and hard to read. I like the knight and the effects around him, but I doesn't all fit in. Also there seems to be no clear focus, and the "Evony Forum Index"'s color and font look out of place.

    Jade: Are you really new? :P I love how you animated the clock and stuff, lol. But maybe add a bit more into the blending and stuff?

    Thanks Raven for the sig

    i leave the game and that annoying clock for a few mins to look in here, and i just cant get away from it, its made its way onto the forums....


    is all hope gone?? can ANYONE get away from that dreaded clock >.> <.< >.>


    haha



    nah, that clock banner is quite epic, but i agree with what bole said above do,


    SirS-looks simple but effective, nicely done.but the text down the bottom i find is hard
    to read parts, the brown beneath it makes it hard to focus on the words


    Nates-again, simple but effective, i dont know what you would call it, but i like
    "rust"?? effect it has

    Nitekiller -congrats on being the first to drop the simple but effective loop lol
    a lot going on, but if the knight had a small tint of gold, and the text for the forum guide
    popped out a but more, i think its a winner

    Jade-despite the joke above, the clock is an epic idea, ,but i have to agree with bole
    it is very gothic,but still ,if they dont choose to go for the typical evony
    themed colours/style, id pick this



    but hey, what do i know, im just going by what feels right when i look at them lol

    Of course... I actually would encourage you to edit and re-post. I'm in no hurry to pick a banner and would love to give you all a chance to use everything that people are saying to grow and expand.
