YAY

more YAY!! :D

SUPER YAY :DDDDDDDDDD

EVEN MOOORREE YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Finally! It looks great! Does this mean that the banners are going to be updated monthly again :3?

I hope so too, diversity is fun! ^°^

I always looked forward to seeing a new banner and adding new artists to my watch-list each month!

Me too! ^^

Bout time a new banner showed up c: Love the style!

okay...

Bannor approves of banner. :3

Ah, Good.

Glad to see it's official, now. :3

Awesome! Drinks for everyone!

On you? I'll drink to that

umm hi im new to fa

Finally! i been waitin for this moment.. all my lifee... (actually i am just thrilled to see a new banner)

bout time x.x

looks nice :D

Amazing!

Finally, much better!

It's about time for a banner change.

I love it with seeing that butterfly is great :3

I don't like the drawings but is good FA decided to change the banner.

:/ that's... incredibly rude bro. Especially to the artist who drew it.

Dude, I don't like the drawing on the banner, period.
Is my opinion, you should respect me.

It's rather rude to blatantly state that you don't like something. If you can't say anything nice, then you should probably keep your opinion to yourself, or at least to a forum or site where the artist wont see it.
Artists have feelings too, ya know.
And no, i don't respect you, especially when you're trying to justify being rude to somebody.

I'm not being rude, so I'm being realistic. If I were rude, I would start to badmouth or doing a mess here. Is not my intention.
Artists have feelings, yeah. They are humans too. The difference is everyone can't like you. There's always few people who disagree.

In my case, I don't like this drawing in specific because is not the kind of art I like to see in a banner. But the artist haves other pieces of art that are nice to me.
Then, I need to give a feedback to the artist because I have the right to do so.

Mmmmmm nope, it's still pretty rude. Any person with common sense can see that

Then forgive me for be rude, I'm rude on the internets and a pussy in real life but I cook the best curry rice.

That's irrelevant and not even the slightest bit funny v3v/) You might want to tell a person who actually likes curry.

Then this discussion is irrelevant too. The banner will stay and I'm starting to get used of it.

http://www.yyyyyyy.info/ before you go to bed :+)

Sorry for make you lose the time with me

create a yellow triangle
there

Can I have some curry please? :P

*gives you a plate of curry rice* be careful, is hot and spicy.

yaaaay

>w< *nomnomnomnomnom*

owo weew!

You weren't being rude, you were just giving your opinion which you're entitled to, some people are just too sensitive.

As I explained in a journal, there will be people who like your art and people who don't. And an artist can't please everyone and it's the normal thing in the world.

I honestly didnt see rude people. However, I do see a few that need to grow a spine...

Did someone say curry? I love curry!

Me too :3

That shit is hilarious love it.

It's not rude to say you don't personally like something. If you go out of your way to tell that person you don't like them or their art, that's rude. But if you see something, it's not rude to say "I'm not a fan of that." This person is as entitled to their opinion as you are. The "don't say anything if it's not nice" is kidgloves, and these people are adults and should be able to handle people saying they don't like their stuff.

I'm afraid i must disagree, as this banner is another persons creation and this journal is all about it, and yet people are going out of their way to say that it's bad.
And the "if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all" thing applies to all ages and walks of life.

Well, I think you're wrong. If you disagree with me, then that's fine. but just know; stating your opinion isn't rude. They're saying "I personally don't like this." It's the same as if you say you like it. They're as entitled to stating their opinion as you are. You arne't somehow magically granted the right to comment just because it's positive. That's how life is. If someone gives me food I don't like at a restaurant, most people will say "I don't like this food, can you remake it?"

And it doesn't apply to all ages. No one would ever grow if all people said were nice things and praise. People grow most when they make mistakes and do things wrong, or when people give criticism. Come back to me when you learn how the real word works.

I think we should just agree to disagree, and btw, art and food are two totally different things.
And yeah, your right about the growing thing; we all need criticism. But the people here aren't giving the artist criticism, they're being outright rude.

I don't agree that they're different things in this context.

And I don't think voicing an opinion is rude in this context. Saying you don't like something isn't rude if that's all you say. If you get an attitude or insulting with it, yes. but just saying you don't like it? I guess you better never say you don't like a movie, or a book, or a game then. Because if the developer or people working on it saw, then it's just rude.

I think the point of why it's rude is because it simply "I don't like it" just plain like that it's kind of just wow, the person didn't ask you to like it or take the type to write up that comment, it the main banner for the site so I see where it gets some more attention for such a response but this is an art community and rather than being rude and stating you flat out dislike it a proper way to take it is to say why.

If someone was to say they disliked my art yes I take it as criticism as to improve but unless they somehow state WHAT they hate about it, it just really fells like they went out of there way to sneer at it, I know not everybody will like my art, but if your going to write about your distaste for it just include why; even if it's as simple as "..don't like that/the style"
that way the person knows if it's something about the art or if i'ts just a personal opinion/style preference.

I worked in the food industry and it's the same way, if someone sends something back we kind of want to know WHY they sent it back so we know where we went wrong, otherwise we feel as if they just plain up are being rude and a difficult person.

Well, no one asks someone if they liked it, either. People are entitled to their opinions, and like it or now, they say it. Saying "I don't like that," as a kind of statement isn't rude in itself. People are far too sensitive about these things.

They're not saying it's bad. They're not saying the artist is bad. They're not saying anything negative that matters. Art is subjective. Though their comment may not be wanted, they're not being mean or hurtful. They're just saying they don't personally like it. They didn't go out of their way to tell the artist that. this was a journal about the banner, they were just saying they're not a fan of it. I understand the point, but everyone is allowed to their opinion, and no one is trying to hurt anyone's feelings. The extent to which people are blowing the subjective likes and dislikes of people out of proportion is pretty frightening. It makes me wonder how these people handle issues in real life if one comment like that on the net upsets them so greatly.

Well that is understandable if they personally don't like it, but keeping it simple people assume the worst
By simply stating "I personally don't like it" then it becomes quite understandable that it is there opinion and yes by those standards it isn't rude

But the 'I don't like it" people do assume the worst unfortunately and lash to protect themselves or others rather than asking why.
I myself always ask why first before I freak out, and it always works out in the end as the person states why and I see to improve myself, they say it's just a peronal thing and thus work to really expand as an artist or work with different things outside my comfort zone, or see the person is just a troll and I ignore them.

It dose kind of suck you have to be specific when just stating your honest opinion but that's how people are every now and then. But thats just ho people are when it comes to something of this subject matter, they can get hypersensitive,

I do get that people NEED to have a backbone to take blunt critisism, heck you need a backbone in life period.
It just helps that artists gain a backbone and commenter be spicific

Tis the life of an artist. Learn to role with it or never take your pencil or stylus out of it's case ever again.

Newfangled way of saying, Artist need to develop thicker skins if they intend on showing their art to anyone other than their pets.

sorry sent reply to wrong person xP

hrnnng the amount of stupid is really strong here.

Its a public forum where the artist is free to block and remove comments from their own profile and regulate criticism to their own leisure, however this is on someone else's profile/journal.

People should be allowed to state whether or not they like something. Who cares? its when they say " I dont like it because it's stupid and retarded and blhalbhalbhal" when it becomes rude. Come on dawg you know better.

jesus christ all they fucking did was say "I don't like it" that isn't rude or offensive at all. saying "UGH THIS BANNER IS UTTER GARBAGE THIS ISN'T ART" would be, though. but stating your personal preference =/= rude.

according to your logic, it's rude to say I didn't like a movie on a public forum where the creator can see it I guess???

stop blowing things out of proportion. thank.

I'm not blowing things out of proportion, so i dont know where you got that idea. I just stated the obvious, that the statement the guy made was rude.
And honestly, movies and 2d art are totally different things. Especially when it's art made for a fandom. This guy made this banner out of passion and admiration for this website, and what does he get? A bunch of snide losers bashing his art and trying to justify it because "it's just an opinionnnnnn" or "it's a public forummmm"

By your logic, it's ok to be an ass to hard working artists.

So can we not? Thank.

if you wish to continue discussing this, please contact me at tinyjihad[at]gmail.com :3

I agree.

finally! VuV

And it only took 3 months :D

about time! ^^

Sweet! Quirky style! :3

Finally.

I am pleased.

I love it

Holy shit! They actually changed the banner!!!

It's better than nothing!

Really nice!

It's about @#$%^&* time!

...Ctrl+F5. May take a couple refreshes.

f5?

F5 refreshes your page. ;)

Ctrl + F4

Achoo!!`

Eh.

Thats a nice banner. I cant wait to see more in the future. :)

That looks like a Fender's Blue Butterfly to me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender.....blue_butterfly

Holy crap! XD I can't believe that actually exists.

Cute banner :3

I wish I could draw the banner... :>

Too bad the old one still shows up for me....

f5

Im not on a PC though. Using IE on 360 so I had to exit out of it and come back in for it to change

IE on the 360 doesn't have a refresh button?

It does but refreshing didnt help

I for one like it <3

About time we got a new one, but personally I am not fond of it.

I'm sorry my art doesn't please you. :'O

Just because you have an opinion doesn't make you entitled to say it.

having an opinion isn't being rude. apply cold water to the burned area, sir or madame.

Agreeable nose content.

There were a bunch of better new banners to pick. Oh well..

:(

dont let it get to you; there will always be those that dont like a style, just keep yer head high heehe!

I know. uvu I'm not too worried.

Thank you. ♥

You've drawn the cutest banner in a while so I really wouldn't worry, anything is better then the one before this anyway :p

wow.

Ehhh..Not too happy about it..But I guess Its new.

I spy many opinionated furries in the future

I've nearly forgotten it was customary to change the banner every month or so

Because we stopped with the new banners because we were gonna have a new site where we could pick our own. Remember?

in all honestly, I don't remember that being announced or I likely didn't pay attention that was going to be a thing. I've been more focused on the uploaded art than news about the site.

Yeah that was meant to be for back in January wasn't it?

You forget: FA works in Valve time.

no, Valve can work/count higher

Agreed, its more Molyneux time, where great features and designs are promised but never actually delivered.

That's a pretty banner :3

(Thank you!)

Np! :3

Thank God for a new banner.

my qurl got the banner awwwwyeah


hush y'alls jealous mouths

Oh man I'm so happy you guys used my banner. ♥ Thank you so much!! <333

Wether people liked it too much or not, I'd be thrilled to have my art chosen for the banner to begin with.

I suppose its okay.. its quirky and a refreshing break from all the super advanced shaded stuff normally chosen.

Good job nevertheless. ^^

I actually had it shaded but I liked the unshaded version more~

Odd thing for me to pic but sometimes simple is more eye-pleasing to me.

I still worked hard on this, though.

Thanks.

Adorable :D

Refresh or F5?

Okay, now I see it.

Nice!

Oh my gosh this totally reminds me of Don't Starve. It could just be me though because I am OBSESSED with that game. TqT
I love it~!

I like it!
The style is different and the artists work is nice.It's nice to have different things! It's cute and toony :D.

Can't wait to see the next ones! I liked the monthly updates myself v u v

Agreed entirely!

(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

It looks cute

the looks of it makes me remind myself of past summer days :3

Took way too much time to change banners.. i'm hoping in the new version of Furaffinity we can place our own banners down for ourselves.

wow people are kind of mean :/ I like the new banner :) if you don't like it don't belittle the artist who drew it!

I was talking mostly about the one saying there were better ones out there.... that's really rude :( the artist is reading all of these so people should at least be polite. if you don't like it just say that. no need to be harsh.

you are the one taking your comments down not us.

Being rude is being rude and people thought you were rude to the artist and told you so. You can agree with them or not but they are going to state their opinion just as you did.

If you didn't want an opposing opinion then you shouldn't have posted.

aw thanks :) I'm not trying to stop people from stating their opinions but there is no need to be rude about it!

awesome :)

Nice, any chance of getting this bug fixed anytime soon?

http://i.imgur.com/z0EYj0Pl.png

All sites will have that problem if the screen res it too low try and turn your screen resolution up. Lower than 1280x1280 does not work for most websites.

IT'S ABOUT TIME. :D

I really, really love this style. Reminds me of rocko's modern life, eh.

Pretty style!

(Thank you!!!)

Oh, I like this new banner :3

i can't wait to see the new banner five months from now

What ever happened to the "really big banners" and "you can pick from a variety" idea?

^ this.

Bout bloody damn time ;7;

What a awesome banner, I love that style. :3

I like how people will whine about the banner like the artist won't see it and I just

Guh

If you don't like it don't bloody say anything. The artist is prolly super damn happy they got picked and there's no need for you to piss on that by saying you'd have preferred another. This courtesy shit shouldn't be this far gone on FA but apparently it is, haha. Not sure what I was expecting.

Personally I love the banner. It's nice to see something more stylized and vibrant.

straight to the fucking point. This.

Not liking something isn't even a critique, it's an opinion and A LOT of furries are opinionated. Also, people have been bitter towards FA when other sites with unpaid teams have updated faster.

Well, it's not the artist's fault FA generally sucks.

Indeed.

I say critique is valid regardless of whether it is directly asked or not. These people aren't offering critique though. Even sayin "i don't like it" is just, whatever, let them say that. It's not critique by any means, but it can be considered in bad taste to just come here to say you don't like it with nothing else to say. Certain people are just being flat out rude about their opinion, though.

Lol. yes it is. Any art website is open to critique.
Critique are helpful comments to help an artist better thier work.
But, speaking an opinion isn't a critique anyway.

In either case, when an artist posts thier work publicly, they should be ready for the fact that not everyone is going to like thier work.
People on the internet are assholes.
Grow up and put some ice on the burn, and continue to make art just as you were.

A lot of people actually do go straight to the artists' shouts to tell them they don't like it. I don't understand why they need to know that you don't like their art. It's a pretty rude thing to announce straight to the artist!

No one can say they dislike things ever again, it might hurt someones feelings. Guess I never should have said Michael Bay's films suck on a public forum.

ouuuu watchout

got a badass over heeyuh

yeah, i can't help but feel people might be over-reacting a little to the 'i personally don't care for this' type responses. sure they aren't all that constructive (outside of giving the admins an idea of what people prefer for banner art), and i'd probably agree that it was in poor taste if these comments were on regular submissions, but banners strike me as potentially different (what with them being submitted to be chosen for this specific purpose, being so highly visible viewable to so many, and all that sort of thing). (and these are me asking general questions here, rather than to you - just to avoid confusion here) as you suggest, people say they don't like certain things all the time without giving a second thought. is that acceptable? is it only bad if the maker sees it? or does any negative opinion automatically make someone a terrible person? i would have thought that so long as it were kept as an opinion, and not just insults, then it's perhaps not the end of the world(?). since we are on the subject, i'm not a huge fan of the banner. i do not think it is terrible, i don't think the artist should be ashamed of themselves, i just personally don't care for the style. am i a bad person for that? it seems the line for what is and is not acceptable in terms of banner feedback genuinely isn't clear to everyone. dumb as this may sound, rather than everyone try and belittle each other for not holding the same standard on the matter, perhaps the admins could help us out here; is banner feedback acceptable? should it be treated as a normal submission? i tend to just be quiet when i don't care for it, but the responses here had me curious.

Pretty much agreed.

i'm surprised anyone bothered to read what i said XD

Too many people on this site are way too sensitive, I think you make some good points. so it's always nice to read level headed and well explained comments!

thank you :B

Yes. all of this.

thank you (bit of a pointless response, i know, but again, just surprised people have read my ramblings)

This.
nothing nice to say dont say it.

Nice new banner!

Not to be rude, but about damn time...

It was about time

Heh, that banner looks kinda silly

Ahh I love the new banner, the style is super adorable!:D And that butterfly is really beautiful.

Oh what a riveting and important site update...

This one looks nice. Nice touch of work.

Yay! new banner! I miss when banners were actually updated monthly...

Long overdue banner was long and overdue.

how is your opinion constructive when u did nothing different aside from pointing out what you liked

you aren't explaining why the things you don't like are supposedly wrong so dont u even try to get condescending mang

either way youre not helping the artist u lil ms attitude

oh lord

I like Lordi :(

WOULD YOU LOVE A MONSTERMAN
WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND BEAUTY OF THE BEAST?

to week it rodot December ai much fix :<

I was wondering when that was going to happen. I mean, as long as we're still on this format, might as well still update the banner.

I would say Cue Drama, but it looks like I'm too late.

OH YAY <3!!!

bout time XD

Heh heh that was about damn time.

about time for a new banner. was sick of that other one xD

^ this.

I actually like seeing banners like this.. at least its not catering to some already mega popular artist.. I like seeing art of those who are less known in the community, it's a breath of fresh air, even if the art isn't "OMG SOOOO GOOOD"

I hope we have more like this in the future

Yeay refresh time!

Very cute! It actually makes me think of "Animal Crossing" now with the new release coming out in less than a week xP

So many rude furries...I expect nothing less. Same as you ever were. <3

only about six people so far have not liked it, only one or two maybe that I see could be considered "rude" =/
everyone is allowed their opinion on a public site, some will like it, some wont its just life

Don't worry, I'm only being overdramatic. XD

-w- alright~
it just worries me how Really upset some people are over the topic.

The only reason I could see why, would be like someone saying "I don't like what you made" to you. Not necessarily a bad thing, but often a loud hit to the ego.

I love how many furries there are that thinks different opinion = rude. Let's be a little open here and respect other people's right to express their own opinion.

yeaaaah, I just got hardcore trolled over this.

I wouldnt says its "rude" to have an opinion, i think its just unfair to the artist that some people dont like they style but they didnt choose to have their banner featured and then suddenly they have an over whelming amount of attention and some of it not being positive, im sure, wouldnt make the artist feel welcome to the community.

NO! NO FUN ALLOWED!

Your definition of rude is skewed. Try again later, thank you.

Someone doesn't like a smartass. :P

Cool banner
Its nice to see diffrents styles again.

FA runs on the same schedule as VGCats
"Updates whenever"

I kind of like the old one.

I really like the style especially the eyes and the expression on the dragon thing, it makes me laugh. Great job to the artist. ouo

Thanks!

Anna:

But the creator moved form this account

Anna:

Aha, and I strongly beleive the site should add a credit to the banner anuthors on the banner or right next to it...

oh... why do I live in Germany ?!?

Love the new banner. Very fresh! Keep up the great work, !

Thank you! <3

Can't see it yet. Don't really feel like F5'ing.

That's a shame.

It really is.

Yes unfortunately I have moved since I posted it so if you would like to visit me you may go to ;v;'' Thank you guys for all the compliments! ♥

People are being babies because it's not a popufur banner that got chosen with all the cray cray shading and lighting.
I enjoy this one, it feels like a fresh new start. I'm glad FA takes the time to look through different banners and not just the high quality ones.
Good job Zach be proud ^^

I agree with this comment all apart from the "not just the high quality ones"

Only saying this as I feel that quality is relative. This is a finished piece and is stylized to the artist's personal look.

^^ I think just because it chooses not to have shading or lighting effects doesn't speak to it's quality.

some of my favorite artists never shade.

It's a stylistic choice and nothing more <3<3

I think this banner is superfab and shows the wide range of stylistic choices within the fandom <3<3

I think fa would be a lot more interesting if we all stopped trying to have our art look like "so-and-so's" and just let it be what it is <3

Props to FA and props to the artist! Keep em comin', guys!!! <3

Yah I think I worded that wrong, I was typing fairly fast because I had to go get my food hahha.
But you have to agree that FA usually chooses the Popufur banners so this is quite a nice change

And those few also complained that they're was "far more better" than this one, which is what I call being a baby

so someone thinks that one banner looked better than the other, big deal. It' still their opinion and theyre allowed to share it on a public forum.
As long as they arent being rude/bashing about it, I dont see a problem with such a comment. A "i dont care for this banner" is no more constructive/critical than a "I like this banner" comment =/

Yes, and this is also MY opinion.
Still a big baby.
What now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhmjnYKlVnM

not ganna lie I laughed

Im glad to hear it :3

But in all honest, I find some of the comments are uneeded, like, idk, who cares if you dont like it or you think there were far better ones. The artist closed this page off because he was tired of all the hate. Like you RARELY see anyone on FA going onto a artist submission and saying straight up that they hate it and name off all the things that could of been done better. (unless the artist has asked for people to criticize)

IDK this is a big issue but I'm not ganna get into it, I put in my two cents to for I enjoy the breath of fresh air

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and no one gives a damn about it except their own. Just throwin that out there

Even if a "popufur" did win there would still be lots of complaints XDDD.

I remember seeing so much backlash and complaint one one "popufurs" banner.

People will complain and dislike always ; u;. There is no pleasing everyone sadly QAQ.

ALSO HELLO MY LOVE IM HAPPY TO SEE YOU <3

NONO I completely understand that, but unlike the popufurs who have had alot of time to create a barrier against all the negative...I supposed the newer ones would feel really scared, not used to the attention and all the hate D: Zach closed this page down so he wouldn't see it cause it was hurting to much seeing alot of people hate his art </3

I just felt really bad for the poor guy :C

Like I love the banner, i find it just freakishly adorable.
I care more about the person than the actually art when I said all I said xDD I was just bad at explaining :C

HELLO LOVELY <3
Happy to see you tooooooo :DDDDDD

The poor baby... ;-;.

And you're right. That makes a LOT of sense. I feel so bad for him oh my gosh. This should be a happy honorable time ;-;.

I'm sure he will recover though and come back stronger than ever! Atleast I hope. (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

And I do enjoy the banner also! It's so DIFFERENT from what we have usually have. It's nice for change!

But hey, the plus about this, all the watches hes getting from people who like his art :DDD
yaaaaay
thats always the good part hahaha

YEAH!!!
There will be more who enjoy it that those who don't! :D

I like this new banner!! :D

Looks like the user moved accounts.

non judgemental "meh".

Firmly grasp it!

^Yes

It took me a bit but I do greatly enjoy this banner and its a nice change so props to the artist also


Weren't we suppose to get you know a new site and could change our own banners or something cool like that orrrr I mean when is that going to happen or should I stop being excited because it'll take you a few more years??

Yeah, there was supposed to be a change in the layout 8 freaking months ago. You can find the journal here:http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3889109/

I love the style, not so much the banner though. Looking through the artist's galleries, all I can see are simply beautiful artwork. Simplistic style are one of my favorites. It may just be the clash between the cartoon-ish style of the dragon's expression and the more stylized fender and butterfly, that is making others think of it as less than what they wanted for the site's new banner. Perhaps, the artist could try a middle ground between the two styles for images like this in the future. I do agree with the artist though, shading wouldn't have looked as good as the flat coloring on this image. Congratulations on making the banner :]

I like the new banner and all, but is it necissary for people to shun the artist or the banner choice when some of the complainers can't draw half as good..?

New banner reminds me of animal crossing new leaf which will be released june 9th

Yay!

New banner. :3

I like it, the style is trippy and a lot different than the other banners we've had. good choice.

I love the new banner! The style is really cute! uwu

awesome!

Awesome!

I personally like it though i personally would like the sky to be a bit brighter.

Still lovely work and nice banner :)

Not a bad Style. It's Nice :D

... Dibs. I call dibs on the next one.

Yay it's finally a different one!

FINALLY. Not that anything was wrong with the last one it's just nice seeing a change of scenery so to speak. What ever happened to monthly banners? I swear the last one was up for at least a season.

Just a general non-opinionated question; where can I find the banner submission rules and guidelines? I've been wanting to try my hand at making one for awhile now, but I don't even know who I'd even send a submission to. D=

Dear Fender should edit the link to the artists new account.

Très jolie bannière, j'adore le style!
Un bon travail de  zacharie . ^^

who's the dragon character i always see on the banners? FA's other mascot?

Yes, her name is Rednef. :3
Her name is Fender's spelled backwards. :D

oh okay. thanks for answering :)

You're very welcome. :)

Originally, she was for FA's old "Dark Layout" option while Fender was on the "Light Layout."

Looks great!

I love it! :D Also the Fender Blue Butterfly was a nice touch <3

Really digging it.

Awesome awesome new banner!
But fuck guys, what's with all these rude comments?? What ever happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?
Ugh. -3-

HAIL SATAN.

Seriously...

The artist that made it was getting so much shit for people not liking their banner that they're leaving the site...
I for one think its refreshing to see art from an artist who isn't well known on the site's banner, makes the little guys like me have some hope that maybe someday my art will be up there.

Golden rules, peeps: "Treat others the way you'd like to be treated." "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all."

Great work, keep it up!  zacharie

Oh lord, i can't believe people are actually DOING that -3-
And can you imagine how the artist feels?!
*sigh* at least there are people with REAL manners out there, and yeah keep up the great work !!

IT'S CALLED A BACKBONE FOR A REASON. HAVE ONE AND USE IT PLEASE...THANK YOU

Lol. Is that Rigby?

Hee hee hee hee.

The art itself could use an improvement, but I like it! I'm not being a dick to the artist, just showing some constructive criticism.

Wow! So many arguing about opinions. Cant you just accept peoples opinion?!

Despite liking the new banner, I can't believe how much of you think it is "rude" for someone to critique art. It's not rude to have an opinion, it's rude to make your opinion sound like a fact and saying whoever disagrees is wrong. That is rude.

Yeah, I agree people have a right to their own opinion! They have a right to say whether they like it or not. If they don't like it then you can always just ignore their comment & focus on the ones who do like it! Its perfectly 'ok' not to like something, as long as you're not mean in expressing it.

Personally, I love it! Its 1000x better than anything I could do. I'm sure the artist did they best they could knowing it was for the banner & thats enough for me!

Yay a new banner finally!!! :D :D :D

Well they Left FA, time to change again?

how much would i have to pay to get my own art up there

Wow I'm so amazed at people being so oversensitive because people don't like this and seem to think that they can't say what they want, on a public forum of all places.

No one is saying "fuck dis shit" "shitty art is shitty" or "dis art sucks my furry balls" people simply state they don't like it.........BUUUUUUUURN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They not only did that, but also stole his/her art and sold it, harassed him/her mercilessly, and drove him/her from the site. Good job. Just because something was different you burned the one who gave it to you. Good fucking job.

Woah woah woah what the fuck?

I had no idea about those things, I don't watch the artist so I didin't know about this.

That is just fucking sick, I had no issues with the banner, I just thought people were being abit to defensive against people not liking the banner.

I personally don't like the new banner. I mean, it's well done I have to give props to the artist for good execution, but style-wise, It's just not working for me.

Came here to find out who made the current banner (it looked different from what im used to so i was curious ^^) just to find out the artist left FA... That is one sad banner now :c

I don't have an opinion on liking or disliking the banner. Its whatever. I can't change it.

But it would be pretty cool if we could nominate banners, and vote for the winner of the month. An artist spotlight, chosen by the fans.
Or maybe if new and aspiring artists were chosen to get them more attention.

That would be cool but at the same time, I think, unfair to the artists who are not as skilled (or rather yet have an acquired style) as many of the others on FA and then you have the popular ones at that. It would end up like DeviantArt TnT

I personally enjoy the new banner. I think its fantastic that it is giving a not-so-well-known artist a chance in the spotlight! Though, they seem to have left now. :c

Guys, its not a crime to not have a 'strong-backbone' on the internet. Some people are sensitive, and as human BEINGS we should practice compassion. Nobody should have to 'grow a thicker skin' just so they can put up with the people out there that, for some reason, think that just because there is freedom of speech that they have to throw a negative opinion into the mix.

Some people can't take criticism or negativity very well, and lo and behold...they can actually be human and get their feelings hut! That is NOT a crime or something that should be laughed at. You can take it? Fine, all well and good, but you shouldn't expect that of others. People have their reasons. Hell, some people even have anxiety issues and it isn't something they can help.

We should be building each other up as a community, not turn it into a tear-down 'I'm the bigger and stronger guy' contest. :/
