I was thinking more hard cut-offs for the shading and less gradients, but I don't wanna ask too much more cause I think it's nice, regardless! Will put it up now, and awesome stuff!! ^^

P.s. Thanks again for making such a fun banner for the community and happy to have ya here! 😄

Sorry if this is a little bit too much, just figured it'd be nice to have a little more for ya since I was already making suggestions, but I think the banner's lovely in its own right, too!

Some explanation(s):

  • All the hashing is just some subtle shading, pretty much
  • All the red is some edits going top-down, left to right:
    • Make the clouds more definitive and in 3's to make them seem a little more natural
      • With some mild shading that follows the "height" subtly of the top of the cloud
    • Make the c/splatoon part more wavy in the water and leaning only slightly towards "splatoon", in the air
      • Or just putting it all in the air after moving the characters a little, too, potentially
    • Make the boat in the background a little more transparent and maybe move it around some after editing the text
    • Push the shoreline downward so it takes up a little less real estate and looks flatter to appear more like it continues outside of the frame
      • Also makes the eye more drawn towards the art and adds some flow to the pic too
    • Move the left character to the right to fit a little more text; and potentially move the island right, too, so that it feels like it's cut off to the right
    • Squeezing the left character's arm in a little since it seems a little too oval-y, to me
    • And maybe changing the receiving end to a squid/octopus so it feels a little more blobby/shapey and pointed (and fun way to show a mechanic? haha)

Either way, I think it's super cool what you've done so far and I'm mighty looking forward to what you can do in the future, too! :D

Edit: forgot to mention also making the waves come out from the shore lines a little more (in sets of odd numbers for that made-in-nature aesthetic!), with some foam/reflective, white coloring to them, too, potentially. 👍

Oh, I love the idea/aesthetic! Very cute and bright haha! Appreciate the effort ya put into it!

I wanna suggest some changes I think might be nice to incorporate before adding it right away, but will try and put some work into it and send them in a bit.

Either way, cool stuff! :D

I wish I knew if there were a way to ping people on lemmy, too...I guess it is still beta.

I know this probably wouldn't work: /c/carp4lemmy, just links you to my profile...

Oh well, for now, seems like it's just DM's, if needed 🤷
