Just so you know, this is going to be a problem no matter who creates what. The size of 800 x 90 just doesn't allow for a complete action shot of anyone unless their lying completely on their back or side. The only way to fit a whole character shot, in action, is to make the player very small.

If you want to see larger versions of the players and more eye candy with less clutter, you may want to rethink your banner sizing.
