If you make a request, please provide the following information: Do you want a banner? Are you looking for something artsy and quirky? Well do I have you covered! Hi, I'm Liv, I'm a young artist looking to make some banners for the community. If you want a banner, I'll need:
  • Title and Penname
  • Whether or not it's for an event
  • What preferences and ideas you have for the banner
  • Color scheme
  • And when you need it by (please give me at least a few days in advance, I can knock something out quick but I don't want to be rushing for a last minute thing)
Please keep in mind not every banner artist is meant for every project. If we end up working together and it doesn't work out, that's okay. If I'm not able to come up with something, I'm not going to push it and I will let you know as soon as possible whether or not I'll need to back out. With that being said, hope you enjoy the examples I've listed!

I typically make variations for every banner I make so that the author gets some choices for different looks. Some variations are subtle, other variations are different image choices for a character. My biggest cheerleader, Chelle, encouraged me to also link my album of banner variations for her story, The Hunger. These are of the subtle variety and are based on the layer blend mode I chose for each one, so if that is your thing, check them out here.
