I like how it looks on the website, but there's a lot of blank space. I would suggest stretching it out and maybe adding some more small details trees or something in the background. Not bad though. :)

the text blends in too much. make it stick out more

I dont like the Text font. Make the text more titleish, meaning stronger more profound, less like a kid with a crayon. The rest I like :)

completely agree, look at bumblebee's sig: very clear and easy to read. plus it dominates his sig, which is what u want the clan name to do.

Well i Have updated it now .. take a look at the last post i made .

im not sure it dominates it . But i think its a little more profound .

it does look good on the site but the mage dude is to dull in color and the goblin thing is a bit pixilated. also your text that says anarchy could look beter

much better :)

EDIT: go to site, look at mage. look to the right. there is a vertical line there.

Yeah looks much better. I still don't like the big green space on the right of the website, though.

I think you did a good job, personally. I was just wondering why everything is true, sharp color while the mage on the right has a white'ish haze?

Lots of improvemtns over the first banner you made. You have the "eye". You've seen that the warrior on the left overlaps the flag, so you've chosen to place the right figure over the flag too: thats the "eye"

Now place the tree on the right behind the wizard :)
