sup bruh let's talk about my banner

Hey guys. I made a new banner! Instead of using my Twinkle's Story characters as their wonky-looking AJ avatars, I used them in (anime) human form for this one. But I still wrote their fox names (except Dawn lol.. her name's just Dawn, ok yo). I don't own any of the anime pictures; I found them on Google (same as the background).

However, I did a ton of editing on all the pictures and the banner in general in PicMonkey. (It takes me usually around 2 hours to create a new banner with all them epic PicMonkey edits all over it :D). For this specific banner, it was mostly just changing colors (from blue to black, all the way to gray to red) and organizing the anime pictures onto the banner. The banner background was originally blue, I changed it to black, and all the anime pictures were originally gray, which I changed to have a red hue. I love how adding that red hue effect automatically made the Fierdan pictures have this red/brown/purple hue, the Dawn pictures (only 2 for her) have this brown/purple hue, and the Twinkle pictures have this gray/blue hue. (That's their colors! :0).

Haha, I think I might possibly be that epic PicMonkey banner edits master! Like when I use PicMonkey on my banners, they suddenly become a million times more stunning. :)

And the upper half looks so festive for winter! ^-^

Now since I'm bored, I'm gonna show you guys the swag process of how this new banner came to be! ;)

This was the original banner background.

I edited to black-and-white with a very faint blue hue in the snowflakes.

Adding the Fierdan anime pictures as well as typing "Fierdan" between all of them.

Adding the Dawn anime pictures as well as typing "Dawn" between them.

Adding the Twinkle pictures as well as typing "Twinkle" between all of them.

Adding the title and taglines, and that's the basically the banner! But I decided to edit it even more...

Adding the red hue, editing the brightness/highlights/shadows/saturation/temperature, changing the dimensions, and then that's the banner you currently see on top of the blog (as of 12/12/15).

By the way, yes. All the anime pictures are monochrome ones. (See how they're all sad-looking? ;-;).

If you're new or whatever, check out PicMonkey today! You can make amazing edits (like the one I just showed you in this post *ahem*) for FREE! (How cool is that? :0).

Bye guys! 
(used PicMonkey for this too c;)

    2. Oh that's not a kitten in her pictures. But I guess that part kinda does look like a kitten lol (it's just part of her shirt and how it looks like with the hand there).

  2. Kinda makes me more excited for your story. Don't worry, it does look sad--and brings out their characters a lot more. Kinda makes me want to write and use PicMonkey XD you are really good at this..heh
