Modern Userbars

Made these userbars for free for a forum I'm in. I decided to get out of my comfort zone and tried to make clean, simple, modern userbars. These userbars are uniquely designed to fit this forum.

Those look absolutely gorgeous. Some people really have the midus touch for these sorts of things, while regular digital artists couldn't pull that off in forever.

I really like the sparkles. It always looks good when you think that there is no image but it continues and is transparrent. Those sparkles create a very subtle flow that separates the avatar from the user info.

Whenever I added sparkles to my ubs, I'd randomly place them. However with these I placed each sparkle with intention.

While I am by no means talking down Bubble's work here, this design form was overly saturated about 1-2 year(s) back. So this is not something "unique" and "amazingly challenging" to make in any way. I'd also say that the sparkles are the main issue if there is any on the userbar, the other is the actual design that uses them.

Haven't been following the mainstream forums so didn't know that. All I've seen resembling that design are the userbars from XF and those are kinda meh-ish.
I've tried to make userbars before but compared to those posted by designers here, they are pretty shitty.

My wife says,
"As someone who has gone to school for art, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this, the sparkles look fine and the design is fine."

My question: Did you do this pixel by pixel like you did for Khronos? If so, kudos to you man. I love 'em.

I used shapes for the ribbon part, it's the middle part of the designs I made pixel by pixel, and sparkles, and circuit design on the admin.
