Title: I made y'allz a banner and an icon.

Because Cyber-T is a dumb, tasteless asshole :D

Yeah, so I originally made these for Cyber-T, because I hated his current banner, but he didn't like em, so whoever wants to use them for a channel, go ahead. I can't make them myself so.

Hey, it has some pretty cool color effects and the combination of blue-purple and very light purple (or white) is really good; I don't even care about the lack of other colors as this combination is a perfect fit. it just has a problem, though. the bootom left corner is far too empty. having too much empty space (or having too much empty space in an unbalanced manner) is an artistical no-go. Also the white on the gecko hand must appear once more, as one element must reappear at least 2 other times (the second one being the font, which is made good by the way).

Overall, it is a pretty good one with pretty matching color combination, it just lacks filling and balance.

Yeah, I know that it's a bit empty, but I really couldn't think of anything to put there that would fit, at all. I also was stupid enough not to save the PSD.

Hey, it is a weird picture. I don't like CBT's or yours. No offense. It's just that the hand is a little creepy.

Did you pick the color blue for the background? Is it your favorite color?

I chose blue because obviously Gecko OS uses a blue and white theme.

I'd love to use this in a channel myself, but I really don't want to risk bricking my wii, and I haven't done it before anyway.

never ask an artist whether the color he mainly used for a certain project is his favourite color :< every color has a certain respective definition and every color is something special giving you different moods which differ from person to person but maintain the same ways. If an artist used one certain color, he wanted to present a special mood in the picture - leaving the favourite color, if he even has one, completely out. And well, blue is the basic color of Gecko OS, so he HAD to take it.

i find it funny that someone posts a banner and icon... and calls themself "Hideous" not to make fun of your screen name or anything... its just kindof ironic. i love it btw... except the colors, although they're still nice i would prefer orange 0.o...

How fitting, I googled "Gecko Foot" too. I don't really have any gecko lizards around to take pictures of.

I guess that was a silly thing to do, yesh.

Thing is you didn't give credit.You know you have to give credit when you use ANYTHING that has a copyright? And EVEN if it doesn't has copyright,you SHOULD give credit.

Lets just borrow some nintendo RSA keys and tickets to make the USB GEcko Channel, im sure they wont mind at all that we 'borrowed' their compiled code to make the final product. Hell, im sure they wouldnt mind if we took their Virtual Console Emulators, pulled the ROM out and put in our own from our own ROM Warez collection. After all its ok to use other peoples work for our own gain.

seems Hideous would feel more at home over at GBATemp. Really man, you cant take someone elses work, change it, and pass it on as your own. Thats how and why homebrew (and everything else for that matter) gets a crap name.

dude... stop posting in the same thing on something you already commented on. that's like me going up to a person and saying nice job. then coming back a day later and saying excellent job. they mean the same thing, and i said it to the same person. anyways...

any picture posted on the internet is protected by a basic Creative Commons license and so are websites and literature so anything you take from a website must be credited. (text, layouts, or pictures (thats why at the bottom of every page on this forum says powered by vBulletin) anyways the reason google images can get away with it is because all images are scaled down and called "remakes" which are allowed under the creative commons, but ONLY because they still have to give credit for it with a link to the site it was from and original title.

See, I was agreeing with you in that post up there. It was silly and I didn't think of it.
