Quote: I feel a bit guilty now for diverting people's attention and comments from Vizh's excellent artwork.No need... Comments are a rarity with new banners, aside from "nice banner" which is always appreciated. I'm just happy to know people can see them, as I always think a new banner livens up the look of the place. Quote: It's good piece in that it not only offer accurate depictions of the characters portrayed (although Mumph does look just a little too ruddy on my monitor)Always a hazard. I was going for "weathered and tanned from adventuring", but depending on the monitors I've looked at it from it can be really dark next to fair Asil. Quote: ...but captures something of their characters also. Mumph is standing there looking the viewer directly in the eye, chin set, but arms clasped behind his back - forthrightness, determination, and restraint (for now). Asil's looking at Mumph with an admiring expression, her body language is much freer (unlike Lisa's, which would be looser), yet her arms are folded to indicate a slightly contrary determination. Both characters are dressed in their trademark "original" outfits. The background depicts the inner workings of a temporal pocketwatch and compliments the Victorian scrollwork foreground borders and the lettering font. The figures are to the right of the image, so the Western viewer naturally reads the text first then encounters these two characters to exemplify what a "Tale of the Parodyverse" might be. The clock hands form "wings" that guide the eye to the heads and shoulders of the picture's focus.I'm glad you liked it. I had done the sketch of Mumphrey's face a long while ago, and had never gotten around to finishing it in some kind of composition. When I figured the board was overdue for a new banner I dusted it off and one was jury-rigged from various parts. I do like how it came out. Quote: Nice work, Vizh. Sometime I'd love to have a copy without the text so I can use it as a header for any relevant Mumph story hereafter.Quote: HHI've attached one sans text, with a paler Mumph and a few other little touch ups.
