Fan Fic and More

Here are some of my attempts at making banners. I thought the new Sliding Into Antar banner came out pretty good.

The Altered Time World

Gerry I'm excited!! You're joining us in the banner making!!! I like the Swamp Witch best of all but your others are very nice too. Your Swamp Witch has a great blend of color with the background of the swamp and the cabin...and I like your gator! (ha,ha!) Then how you did a ghostly image of Liz in the far right. I think that's Liz?? Anyway, wonderful work, Gerry! Welcome aboard the Fan Arts World!

Thanks, Angie! I appreciate the comments! :D I liked the Swamp Witch one, too. And yep, that's Liz's face. I was really happy with the cabin, because it came out a lot better than I thought. My biggest challenge was to get the banner sharp enough without pixelating it. The original was done too small, and when I enlarged it, the writing in particular looked fuzzy. But when I shapened it, it pixelated badly. Increasing contrast or reducing RGB made it shaper without pixelating but changed the delicate balance of the colors. I finally got a happy medium though through a lot of trial and error. Thanks again for the nice comments!

hmmm..Gerry's speaking a foreign language

anyhow, I love them

Ok so I'm bad and didn't come over and say anything about these lovely banners, BUT I'm here now a great job!

Thanks, everybody! I added a new one, Star Trails To Antar.

Awesome!!! I love it, Gerry! It reminds me of our Universe and Gallaxy and all the wonderous things in it!! Beautiful job!

Beautiful fanart/banners, it looks really cool

Thanks, Pooh, Tracie, Angie, and Majit. :D Here is my latest addition, Codename: TABASCO





And I made a new and updated Ee-l'wee banner. The old one and new one are both here to compare. What do you think? Do you like Ee-l'wee better in the new one or in the old one?


This is the first Ee-l'wee




This is the second Ee-l'wee



This is the newest Ee-l'wee

WOW Gerry! I love your last banners of Eiwee! They are very beautiful!

Great job!!! :D

Thanks Angie! Here's a banner I just made for my challenge fic.

That's really pretty, Gerry! I like that!

Thanks, Angie! :D

You're welcome! I caught up with your Ee-l'wee story and it's really going great! I love it!

These banners are terrific, especially the last one and the Swamp Witch.

Thanks, insidious heart! I really appreciate that! :

I love all three of them, Gerry, but I prefer the longer hair I think. But she is pretty with long or short hair!!! Ee-l'wee is just magical that way!

In the long hair version she looks more "elegant," but I thought the pose and look were a bit "Calendar-girl-like." A bit "modelish" or posed or something. I wanted to make her just a normal girl... pretty but not modelish. I don't know. I'll have to think about it a while.

Ee-l'wee was more girl-next-door, she never liked being seen as anything overly special (I remember that from how she acted when dressing for her wedding and also when being called a Queen). So with that in mind, the shorter hair would probably be more Ee-l'wee!

Well, if and when the book gets published, of course, somebody else will do the cover art, and Ee-l'wee won't be any of these that I drew, but I still can't make up my mind on these two for posting here. They both have a different kind of appeal.

Okay, on to the next banner. Here's my newest. It's for Memories of the Blue Planet.
