Oh, my. these things are fantastic. If you are still taking requests then I would love to see what you could come up with for me. If you're too busy then I completely understand but I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope to hear something back.
Now then, in case you aren't too busy, I should go ahead and tell you what I am hoping for... For colours, I am thinking that purples, black, greys, and white would be the best way to go. You can feel free to add a little red if you'd like as well; I'll leave that one up to the artist.

If you are able to shrink that down and use it in the banner then that would be great. You could put that off to the right and my name and text to the left. If you can't work with that then try my avatar or try finding a good male drow picture of your own. After seeing your work, I'll trust your judgement.
For text, I have a few things that you might be able to use. My favorite is "The only real difference between an ally and an enemy is that one deserves a quick death." Sadly, I don't think that it will easily fit into one of these banners so let me give you a back-up saying just in case. "Your closest friend is your most dangerous enemy." That still might be a little long even... Oh boy; my banner is gonna be a bitch. Let me grab you one last quote, hm? Just in case you actually bother yourself with this. "Live by your wits, Die by another's..." There. If the other two won't fit, that one should.
For the text, I'd like something elegant. It doesn't have to be too flashy or anything special; just something with a little more character than basic times new roman or another simple text.
