I'm so glad you made this thread to share your work. It's full of talent! :) It really made me get a bit emotional about GIMP, I used GIMP for a long time but have been using Photoshop CS6 for the past couple of months and have forgotten how amazing GIMP is. I should probably open it up and mess around with it again soon, although people always say it's hard to use I always tell them it's worth it. It may be a bit less user friendly but the possibilities with it are endless!

I really adore your banner style, and it's overwhelming to see so many awesome ones in one place! I look forward to seeing more. By the way your Absol Dragon evolution is marvelous, as an Absol fan I am fairly critical of fan made evolutions but that one is fantastic. Good job, Char.
