New Banner - in progress

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.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the backgrounds seem to suit the person in the picture. The drab olive green for tank, somber brown for Frances, and even Nervous's background seems to suit his personality in your story.

I did try to pick the colours to compliment the characters, so I'm glad you saw that. Tank just has to have his military green, right?

Tanks picture with the military green background is what caused me to notice the connection.

I think red is the perfect color for Ripp too. He's very passionate about everything that he takes an interest in, be it friends, lovers, music, etc

Exactly. That was my reasoning for picking red for Ripp, down to the letter. Bold and passionate, and maybe a bit "too much" at times.
