I know its not all that but I just want to get some thoughts and feed back on the banner i just made using the free GIMP software. Just added some text and pictures from the web and applied filters to them.

Its nice, im not gonna give alot of feedback telling you everything else you can do, as you probs know to just look up most of this stuff on the interet. Still, I like the cubone and marowak, the style is very different yet still looks good to me. For an improvement, I would move the marowak and cubone closer together and making the banner itself a bit smaller, and to also maybe add in a textured layer with low opacity set to addition, just to add a bit more too it. Overall, its pretty nice though :)

I like the cubone and marowak :3

Lol, thanks y'all, glad you both like the Maro and Cue. At first i just had Marowak but i had too much space and decided to add cubone, I would add more but my knowledge on the program is still limited, i have had classes were i worked with photo shop but; The classes did not focus on photo, and two i aint got what is it, $300? lol. As for size i had made it big already and didn't feel like resizing everything. Im going to keep working on this banner as well try sprites one day, and was thinking of a possible new poke type, but will save that one for later.

Robath your banner is too funny XD.
