    Our stay? Shouldn't it be 'your' 0:

      I just finished a speeddrawing of this and found the same thing XD
      YES you are right, and thank you for telling me!

      (on the other hand "our" stay could be interpret that you stay with me here but I'm not sure if that is obvious enough and I will change it).
      Again thank you for taking the time to tell me^^

    Ah, what above comment said, although I'm sure it was a typo!

    It's a very nice banner! Very sleek, very in-tune with Weasyl's colour scheme too; it'd fit right in!

    The character on the left is very well drawn! The way the hair and eyes have been created is wonderful! The anatomy looks fine to me; I've no issues there. The shading and lighting is very smooth, soft, appealing. The same can be said with the character on the right. Great drawing, good display of perspective (the lower jaw being mostly hidden by how that character is 'looking' out at the viewer.

    The background is what connects this banner to Weasyl's colour scheme! The purples and blues marry up wonderfully to Weasyl's background. One thing I might suggest (although not as an imperative change, perhaps more of a try-out for this idea) is to have a sequence of those line art drawings in the background? So, for example, that character in a 'running' sequence? Or perhaps more sitting poses? Just something to further show off your talent! After all (and forgive me if I've presumed wrong), the banner is the attention-grabber when someone visits your page. Show off your skill!

    As it is right now, I think it's a great piece of artwork and a great banner. Helps me as a newbie to see what a banner should be! You've done a lovely job. :) Try out my suggestion if you'd like; I'd love to see what you come up with! Good luck!

      Yes it was a typo. Thank you for telling me though, haha.

      Thank you for your detailed comment!

      Your suggestion definately worths the try, while both characters were drawn with much effort the rest of the banner looks kind of (too) emoty in comparison. To add linearts or low opacy drawings of both characters may give more strukture to it without distracting too much from the main parts.

      I must admit, the colors fit by accident, haha. Those are my main colors I use at every site (as much as possible - some sites don't offer any customisation unfortunately). I'm glad you pointed out those things and thank you very much for your compliments to my work.

      I hope you will have a good stay here and find more lovely work!
