Comments for eliminations: (remember don't take them personally, they are merely to help you grow as an icon arist)
01 - although the placement of the image and text are quite terrific, the image itself does not match the icon, the image is a little bright and it detracts from the icon
01 - I like the cropping of Ryoma but it somehow looked out of place because it didn't match the icon. Perhaps it would be good to also do something about the quality of the color? The text is also a bit difficult to read. Nice background 'tho.
01 - Mostly the thing that got me was that the coloring was off from the original icon and the text is hard to read. However, I love the crop you used on the icon. :D
01 - the banner doesn't seem match the icon well. ryoma isn't blended like the icon does, and the text is hard to be seen and ruin the image really bad.
01 - The banner part is too bright, compared to the icon, and the text is a bit clunky. Maybe an exclusion layer would've helped with the colouring, and another font that looks nicer at smaller sizes?
01 - The colors of the banner image don't match well with the icon - too bright and not enough exclusion. The text is difficult to read, and its ornate style doesn't seem to go with the minimalist style of the icon.
01 - The colouring is not matching and the colours of the text clashes with the image making it unclear.
01 - The difference in the image color between the icon and the banner (where the icon image has a more yellowed/aged coloring) makes the banner feel a little bit off. More care needs to be taken with the text work. The black text all seems a bit fuzzy/slightly unfocused and the white text is very difficult to see clearly against his shirt.
01 - The feel of the icon changes a bit too drastically in the banner, making it feel rather awkward.
01 - The first thng my eyes were drawn to in this icon was the lack of matching when it comes to coloring. Also, the text was rather unimaginative.
01 - The icon and banner seem very disjointed from one another, not only because the image is a repeat, but also because of how different the coloring is. It's much brighter and bluer on the banner. I do like the text though, it's probably my favorite of all the banners. It's just that the image doesn't fit at all that makes this my least favorite.
01 - the image on the banner part is too bright compared to the icon
01 - The shadowing you used for your text is too excessive and it comes off as very distracting. Using black font isn't a very good idea too because it makes it hard to read the text.
01 - Well, the text work was decent but the banner doesn't blend well with the icon.
01 - You got the background down well, but the character on top is quite too bright to match the icon. The typography is hard to read since it's on top of Ryoma.. I'd suggest a drop shadow for the black text as well.
02 - While I really like the typography chosen for the banner, the distinction between the icon and the banner itself is very sharp and somewhat awkward. It would be better if they blended a bit more rather than having such a definitive line between the two.
02 - You can perfectly diferenciate the icon and the rest of the banner, and this look weird in a banner that continues the image of the icon. I think the text is very nice, though
03 - I think the font is a little hard to read due to the nature of the background texture. The reflected background seems to be a bit off-center and it makes it seem a little inconsistant. The background also seems to be more brighter than how it is in the icon, so it doesn't really match too well that way. I think the text could have been moved down to be centered better, which also might have helped make it be more visible.
03 - the text is pretty simple, and the font doesn't look very original. The image matching could be better; the icon is a bit too dark when compared to the texture used by the bannermaker.
Comments for members choice: ^^ we all love comments.
02 - Loved your continuation of the icon background and the typography is wonderful! The only weird thing would be that light texture right next to Ryoma.. it's way too bright for the icon? and you didn't quite match the icon colouring of the character. I really like how you've got both the white and blue coloured text.
03 - I like the fact that the icon isn't seamlessly blended into the banner, and I also like the text. Though another colour, instead of black, would've made it look nicer
03 - Simple text and showing the exact whereabouts of the icon is well done, making it both eye catching and smooth in presentation.
03- (no comment)
04 - Banner flows smoothly, neat placement of text and nice colouring.
04 - Excellent blending of the image between the icon itself and the banner. The typography matches the rest of the color scheme and is easily readable. Nicely put together all around.
04 - I like how the image matches up; it's almost impossible to tell where the icon ends and the rest of the banner begins. The colours seem pretty consistant with the icon, and the background is quite interesting as to how it's reflected. It adds a different, almost ethereal mood to the rest of the banner, which is really cool. I think the font colour matches the icon's colours really well, and I think it was placed quite nicely. I think it could've been moved up just a little, but it's really nice overall.
04 - I love this one! Everything's perfect from the background to the text. I like how the banner 'continued' the icon. The text also matched the icon well.
04 - it's really well done overall, well blended and flawless banner. I can hardly see where the icon is and it does really blend the icon well, altough I find the text placement isn't really amusing. it is an awesome banner XD
04 - lovely color matching, and the typography is an nice choice from in placement and color. It's difficult to read the smaller size font, however, and the winner's name is lost in that small text.
04 - Nice work on doing the continuation on the banner~ Love the text as well. :D
04 - The banner extends the most naturally from the image among the rest, and though I'm not too big on your font, I think it fits suitably well.
04 - the best image matching in this round~~! I love the choice of font, it fits the icon well. The composition is pretty simple, but still, it looks good. Awesome work!
04 - the blending is really awesome here, can barely tell where the icon ends
04 - The image matching is well done. I really like the way the light area from the background duplications is used for the text. The text itself is nicely done though it could be placed a bit higher on the banner.
04 - This is so seamlessly matched up it's amazing! If it weren't for the tennis racket on the left, I wouldn't be able to tell that this was once an icon! I aslo love the little details like the light texture on the right, and the text choice fits very well and has good placement.
04 - This was a lovely icon that matched the original to the T. I love the way you can't even see the original icon and the banner blend together.
04 - Unquestionably the icon with the best blending. I love it.

Other comments:
02 - I found that this is awesome, but actually I don't like the light effect right to ryoma, it ruin the pic of ryoma. but I do love your test placement.
02 - the texture continuation is fantastic, and the typography wonderful, but that shadow on the right side of the icon breaks the flow. While the light texture echoes the one in the icon, it seems a bit too harsh placed where it is, especially with the shadow.
03 - The best typography I said. I love the placement and choice of font. And the bg and the pic is blended well to.. maybe, without the white lines it'll turn out so great :)
03 - The white lines separating the icon from the banner seem awkward to me and they also point out the difference in color between the icon and banner. I really like the text placement and font choice, though I think making the text bolder would improve the readability.
03 - Very nice banner. I like the continuation of the background and the typography is really simple and easy to follow and read.
04 - You matched the icon's background and character perfectly! Great job! I really like the background there, but the typography is what didn't win my favour. It's much too crammed in there, and you've got a lot space to spread things out.
New theme will be up as soon as I get the rest of the information from illeistic [by tomorrow evening].
