Theme Banners


Hey guys I'd like to know what you think about these banners I made. It's for our themes. Should I go ahead and use these or are they too dark or what?

Morganville Vampires Theme:




Mortal Instruments Theme (Jace):



Mortal Instruments Theme (Clary):



Suggestions/criticisms would be very helpful.


ETA: I still don't have an Alec. I was thinking Gaspard Ulliel, what do you think?

I love them all!
:wub:
I think that the Morganville one is a tad dark. I like it dark, so just brighten it up a little. Other than that, they are awesome! Go Ivy! :cheer:

Cool :cheer: I'm going ahead with the TMI themes now.

Ok, for the MV theme...which one do you prefer:


This one's the same with the first one except I lightened it up a bit



For this, I applied a different texture. I think I like this one better. What do you think?

Why'd you do this Ivy?!
Why!
They are all so incredible!
I can't decide!!!!
I liked the MV one dark like it was at the beginning.
But i suppose majority vote wins huh. lol.
Oh well if i had to choose it'd be the one you lightened up. Not the diff. texture.

lol star! I liked the first one too, but they said it's too dark. I guess I'll have to wait for the others' opinions.

I loved it!
The way her eye's look like she's having a seizure because they're so pale.
And it really does describe Morganville. The Darkest Place on earth. (or at least it seems that way half the time.)

Oh my lord, Ivy, you're amazing. The Mortal Instruments ones are PERFECT. I love the Morganville one, but I agree with everyone... its a tad too dark. Even with the touch ups. Is there anyway you can introduce a lighter colour to the blackened background? It would be perfect then, I think.

You're a genius, you know that? Spectacular.

hehe thank you thank you :)

I'll post the lightened one.

And star, I agree. That was exactly what I was going for. I was inspired by Lord of Misrule.

I stole RC's Morganville logo though. I hope she doesn't mind.

Yeah that's Jace. I think his name is Mitch Hewer. I saw his picture on Google and I thought hmm blond and young perfect for Jace. So I just added the runes.

He really does look like an angel there.

I wanted to do an Alec and Magnus banner. I haven't found the perfect guys though.

What are the descriptions for Alec and Magnus again? I think Alec looked emo, but I forgot what Magnus looks like.

I believe Magnus is Asian.
Alec...ermm...idk...but def not Gaspard Ulliel(besides he screams vamp to me. lol. )

The Jace MI one is very easy on the eyes. I just switched over to it and instead of burning my eyes from the brightness of the cherry one i was using it's actually just cooperating like a good little theme page. Just sitting there looking all cute and not making me want to put sunglasses on.

Yeah, Magnus is Asian. I reckon Aaron Yoo would make the BEST Magnus

check him out:







I'm still having trouble finding someone that I think looks like Alec though. I see him as a little on the geeky side.

Blue is always easy on the eye.
Lol about Cherry Tree, red does burn your eyeballs out if you stare at it long enough.

I'm not sure about the color scheme of Morganville though. Any suggestions?

Maybe steel greys and darker greys? I'm not sure, something dark and mysterious.

if kinda feels that way doesn't it.
hmmm
I feel like you did a great job cathching all the courts though.
Even Solitary.(which i am very proud of. the solitary fey have my uttmost respect)
Perhaps something along the lines of Just because something is doesn't mean it can't be lovely...
Or okay idk. But some cool saying like that so fans can associate it with WL. Put it apart from the rest of the fey books. And then maybe you could put Wicked Lovely underneath ya reads forum that way it can give credit to the books like you did for morganville under the symbol.
