I like the monochromatic color scheme you have got going on. It's a good size for a banner, in that you notice it, but it doesn't make your signature ridiculously long (which is something I gotta work on myself. :lol) I like that you're starting to use different brush effects in your work (very nice use of grunge and splatter!), and when you compare it to your early stuff, you can tell just how much you've improved. I really like how you changed up the render of the character in order for her to fit in more nicely with the overall design. Most people would have probably just stuck her in and covered her a bit with brush effects, but it's nice to see that you altered the image. It does lose some focus when you incorporated her into your Avatar (as in she looks fuzzy to me), but that's a different critique for another thread.

I think it's a great banner, and there's nothing that I would change about it.
