I like it, though I think in the spirit of the other banners, you could probably left off the blue bar. :^_^:

At this point, I just don't feel like messing with it anymore. Don't really want to save it in photoshop due to how many layers it has, and need to restart my laptop. I think the blue bar is acceptable, though. The contrast against the dark areas above it is kind of overwhelming, but it'll be in a random circulation of banners, and I doubt people usually pay them too much attention these days anyway. If I ever make another one I'll take consistency into consideration, though.

EDIT: Made a slightly modified version that may blend a little better. Closed Photoshop now, though. So it'll have to be one of the two.

Lunaria

let me add a few more options:




After all, the standard board theme is dark so this may fit better...

Daltone

they look fantasic to me, my only concern is the 2 black rectangles in the brinstar part under the side hopper.

The Monster of Surrealton

What about if the bar with the forum title is made of tiles from the game?

FullOfFail

That's not a bad idea theMoS, but that'd have to be for a separate banner. I'm just gonna use Cry's grey one.

That thing is a good thing.

Lunaria

It needs some work, the cut off point is very sharp between the rooms. Furthermore, the large text is not very readable at certain parts due to brightness.

Silver Skree

Could also do with some flavor text.

Quietus

Flavour text like: You'll need some Floyd to mellow you out after seeing these three... :^_^:

To be fair, each of the four had their own annoyances. Still like the idea of this flavor text though.

Hey look I did a thing:


inb4 "T.H.E ultimate metroid hacking resource"
Scratch that. I'm getting mixed up with T.H.E and the winter solstice competitions

This is not shopped enough, I can tell from the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my days!

Quietus

That's really good actually, Alisa.  It deserves to be added.  If nothing else, Samus riding the Dachora should get it added. :^_^:

Not bad.  If I had to pick, it'd be to say that you could probably have used a better frame for the screenshot of Samus.  As it is, it looks like she's falling, rather than striding purposefully toward the depths of Zebes. :^_^:

I probably could've highlighted Samus, although, I think it looks pretty decent for bored. Thanks.
