New Banner - in progress

[strangetomato]

I'm working on a new banner, which I've title the "headshot banner" in my working images folder. You can see what I have so far at the top of the page. The focus is on the central characters, who are all roughly the same age. They're all pictured in a pose that I imagine they might take if someone was taking a photo of them.

I really need to play around with the page formatting. It looks okay in Firefox, but it's not great. At least you can see the navigation bar, but I'd love to be able to move that around for better placement. I'll force myself to learn this yet.

Anyway... just felt like it needed a change.

Love it I love it I love it! These pictures are really adorable! I love their faces, they definitely show what the characters are like. I like it much more than the previous banner. :)

Also, I wanted to ask one thing: the default replacements for eyes are made by you? Any luck you'd share them? I'd like to use them in my game and story, because it's also has this Maxis-kind-of-look...

I think she's still using the lyran eyes, actually.

That is correct. The eyes pictured here are still Lyran's. I'm working on my own, though. It's one of my main projects right now. I'll probably try to do that before I even start up the next chapter.

Thanks! They look a bit better than original Maxis ones, but still have that original-game feeling. ^_^

Thank you. :) I like it better than the last one too. I liked the concept of it, but I never really achieved what I was aiming for, and the composition was annoying me more every day. Either way, a change is good. This is so much more my style. I'm such a sucker for a grid.

Those are Lyran's eyes, as xel_squirgle_ox said. I am working on my own, though, and I'll keep you updated on that. I think they'll end up being a little more cartoony than Lyran's. I'm using a lot of cartoon and comic references.
