As for your question, a standard blended art banner takes (for me) about 20-45 mins, depending on how much art and various additions I want to make. Avvy making can be easy if it's simple fading, but hard for actual animation. I know how to do it, but lack access to the programs to do so.
I wouldn't sday making banners is hard, persay, but you do need to have a good enough knowledge of art (composition, tone, etc) and experience and practice is really really important...
Edit: Venser's hands are much farther away from each other than the dude on Demonfire's, so it's fine of the fire comes out of only one hand.
@ PurpleD: I got your PM, thanks for the notice. The banner is amazing! Just one thing though; as this quote shows, I asked for an avvy, not a banner. It shouldn't be too hard to change, but then again I'm not the artist.

Amazing banner by Rivenor and classic avvy by PurpleD

Guh... I suppose I should really start being so banner-happy
Hopefully Ace can do your avvy, as I am unable to do animation (that is, unless you wanted it un-animated)
I'd love it if you could do me up a Heroes sig banner. Preferably with some of the images below, but any other awesome ones you find are always welcome. It'd be great if you could have the text "Patience Zero" somewhere in it. I'm not picky about anything else. Thanks heaps.
Some fantastic stuff I've seen here as well. Keep it up, guys.

I've been thinking of getting a new banner and avatar for a while now so, for the avatar, I'd like a black background with the Symbol of Yawgmoth in white fading to the black background. Then a white Apocalypse Mask fades in and out back to the symbol. Wash, rinse, and repeat.
For the banner, I'd like these cards: Phyrexian Colossus [US], Phyrexian Dreadnought [MI], Phyrexian Negator [UD], Phyrexian Plaguelord [UL], Phyrexian Scuta [PS], and Necrotic Sliver [PC] (not nessisarily in that order, what ever fits). In the middle should be a large white Symbol of Yawgmoth. Thanks in Advance, I know you'll do a great job!

Thanks to Zaph and spiderboy4 at High~Light Studios for the kick ass sig and amazing avvy.

I'll take the avatar. I'll try to tackle the banner if I have the time too
I would like the following pictures from left to right: Lightning Helix (RAV), Bogardan Hellkite, Lightning Angel, Numot, the Devastator and Remand (if you could flip the Remand so the guy facing to the left, that would be great.) Or if you have a better idea, go for it.
And then have across the bottom on the front or somewhere have it say "Angelfire." And take as much creative license as needed to make it look really cool (that's just my main criterion--coolness)
And I have a couple more ideas that I might request later, if that's permissable. I'm a huge fan of your work Thanks in advance.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.

Here's a lok at my first banner ever:
Compared to a more recent one...
5 months makes a massive difference

LMK if you like it, or if you still want me to make the non-animated one (when I get it off my other comp).

The good news is that it worked after the reinstallation, and your banner is done.
The better news is that I made two

Level 1 DCI Judge
Check out my Commons Cube.
I have a request for whenever you can get to it (i.e. no hurry).
I'd like a tiger/cat sig banner to go with my avvy. I'm thinking, from left to right
1. Mirri, Cat Warrior
2. Nacatl War-Pride (just the cat on the left, if possible)
3. Blistering Firecat
4. Mirri the Cursed
Blending would be awesome for the 4 pictures, and the text "Don't pet the kitty..." across the bottom right would be awesome.
Thanks, and I look forward to the end result!
