Awesome New Banner

I think it turned out quite well. I spent at least 10 minutes on it in GIMP. It's just things that I like in a 750*268 rectangle. I like the crack, especially. I traced a path from the crack in Amy's bedroom from the finale, and told GIMP to stroke it with heaps of jitter and opacity/size variation thrice, then I tilted it to make stuff fit better. I found a white-on-black DW logo online, inverted it, shrunk it, and put it in. I took the Android, moved his arm up, tilted him, cut his legs off and made him fit in with the edge. The logo I blurred slightly. My name and mask are blurred a lot, for an out-of-focus look, and the word 'things' is very blurred, so it's not that noticable.

 

Gotta love GIMP!

 

EDIT: New banner, updated slightly. Hopefully looks cooler =D

It exceeds the guidelines, though. It's 169kb.

But it is a nice banner; I like the mask, especially.

DDDDDDDDDDDDD=

 

EDIT: Fixed at the cost of semi-opacity around the edges. GIF compresses much better.

What about transparency? If you're going to critisise at least tell me why you don't like it?

I'm giving a suggestion. And it doesn't look that good with the nice raggedy border that has it, and then the white in the middle looks bad.
