Banner(crappy)

Your banner isn't really crappy as it is made by paint. You said about maple characters in a banner, which is quite easy. There's a popular program called "BannedStory", which simulates characters on a picture or plain background. Its kind of hard to make a banner with background, but the after-effects are awesome. It works something like Photoshop, which is an advantage to Photoshop users.=] There's two types of "BannedStory", the offline and the online simulators. The only difference is that the online program could simulate mobs too while the offline can't. Most people use this program to make maple comics, animations which you see on YouTube, and many more.
