Here are some of my attempts at making banners. I thought the new Sliding Into Antar banner came out pretty good.

Gerry I'm excited!!

You're joining us in the banner making!!!

I like the Swamp Witch best of all but your others are very nice too. Your Swamp Witch has a great blend of color with the background of the swamp and the cabin...and I like your gator! (ha,ha!) Then how you did a ghostly image of Liz in the far right. I think that's Liz?? Anyway, wonderful work, Gerry!

Welcome aboard the Fan Arts World!

Thanks, Angie! I appreciate the comments! :D I liked the Swamp Witch one, too. And yep, that's Liz's face. I was really happy with the cabin, because it came out a lot better than I thought. My biggest challenge was to get the banner sharp enough without pixelating it. The original was done too small, and when I enlarged it, the writing in particular looked fuzzy. But when I shapened it, it pixelated badly. Increasing contrast or reducing RGB made it shaper without pixelating but changed the delicate balance of the colors. I finally got a happy medium though through a lot of trial and error. Thanks again for the nice comments!

It reminds me of our Universe and Gallaxy and all the wonderous things in it!!

Beautiful job!

Thanks, Pooh, Tracie, Angie, and Majit. :D Here is my latest addition, Codename: TABASCO

And I made a new and updated Ee-l'wee banner. The old one and new one are both here to compare. What do you think? Do you like Ee-l'wee better in the new one or in the old one?

This is the first Ee-l'wee

These banners are terrific, especially the last one and the Swamp Witch.

I love all three of them, Gerry, but I prefer the longer hair I think. But she is pretty with long or short hair!!!

Ee-l'wee is just magical that way!

Island Breeze · **Posted:** Wed Nov 05, 2008 1:45 am

In the long hair version she looks more "elegant," but I thought the pose and look were a bit "Calendar-girl-like." A bit "modelish" or posed or something. I wanted to make her just a normal girl... pretty but not modelish. I don't know. I'll have to think about it a while. :blue

Ee-l'wee was more girl-next-door, she never liked being seen as anything overly special (I remember that from how she acted when dressing for her wedding and also when being called a Queen). So with that in mind, the shorter hair would probably be more Ee-l'wee!

Island Breeze · **Posted:** Sat Nov 22, 2008 9:29 pm

Well, if and when the book gets published, of course, somebody else will do the cover art, and Ee-l'wee won't be any of these that I drew, but I still can't make up my mind on these two for posting here. They both have a different kind of appeal.

Okay, on to the next banner. Here's my newest. It's for Memories of the Blue Planet.
