I tried a bunch of different layer effects to make these and im happy with the outcome. After about 40 minutes I came up with these banners.
This is my favorite. It kinde looks like a floating head.

I was shifty on this banner, because I wanted to use Soifon from Bleach, but Hinata as-well. So I made 2 versions, 1 with a rotated BG, and a few added effects, and the other with the original look.

This is my last and least favorite. I ran out of ideas, and didn't have much smudge/ripple to do for him.
