So I might as well ask what you think of these new ones. Avatar is Pleinair from Nippon Ichi's games, and the sig is Lina Inverse from... you know, if I have to tell you that one, I'd rather just shoot you.

So go on, rate them :p

Avatar: Boring, albeit it's cute. 2.5/5

Sig: Colourful; pretty. The only problem in my opinion is the little Saint Ebony in the bottom; I would make that bigger and either the same font as Livin' Wild or as the rest of the text. 4/5

I like the Avatar. Simple and Sweat. Cute as well.

To me the sig seems blurry, might just be me though.
(You're talking to a person that doesn't use signatures, so don't take my comments on them to heart.)

Pleinair is always good :v
so yay for the avvy.

...the sig, I just don't like all that much. Also I see l337, so it looses points there (even if some of the numbers are backwards) :v

Also, I have never seen slayers, so I have no idea where Lina comes from, so wheres she from? :/

Avvy, much better than the last one, so it wins just for that. I'd say work a bit on the background though, the white square is a bit too beginner. Even if it was a white circle it would be better. *shrugs* 3/5

Sig... The color and white writing is fine, though I aggree that the black text and the "livin' wild" don't fit at all. 2.8/5

/me still uses only MS Paint, and the "Livin' Wild" bit was already on the picture when I got it. Limited resources equal limited results, unfortunately. :/

But if someone wants to try and make the avatar better, you can go ahead. Here's the original.

You + MSPaint = teh fail

Download The GIMP. It's Photoshop's bastard cousin, but it's free.I'll work on the Avvy though.

Any any good, or does it give you some ideas.

Does GIMP work well? I have PhotoShop CS3 Extended and I'm not impressed.

If you're used to working with PS6(+) like I am, you'll probably find getting used to some of GIMP's functions annoying. There's a reason they call it the bastard cousin >.>

Seems alright, though, if you can get used to the interface. It's free anyway, go find out for yourself...lazy bugger.

Oh, and :v

I am lazy. That's all I have to say on that subject.

It seems like everyone is against me on this here siggy sig, I like it. Also, SE, I like that you're using Lonely's no background avatar, ~shmexy.

GIMP was a pain in the ass, and that's all there is to it.

Lonely

lol, GIMP is a pain, but it's better than paint. After you get used to the interface, it does have some things about it that are better that Photoshop. (At least better than PS7) Though if you have PS, use it.

All I have to say is that it helps to have a friend in Norway that has Photoshop. :D

I like the avatar Lonely's done and its given me some thoughts for my own current series of avatars. The sig? Too cluttered in colours and words I think.

What's wrong with yours, HeartHentai? Looks good to me.

If this is what you are referring to, that was meant about SE's sig. Nobody seems to like it, but I do.

Thanks though :D

Well, if that's the case, I have a few things to fix the basic problems.

1.) The "Livin Wild" is the main issue. Since that is a part of the orginal picture, it cannot be taken out without looking like shit. (is there a different cut of the picture you could use? If you have the orginal, could you post it here?)

2.) Text. Because the "Livin' Wild" cannot be removed, your next best bet is to match the rest of the sig to it. SO, what you need to do is change the text color and font style to the same as "Livin' Wild's". That will at least make it match.

Do either 1 or 2 and it'll look much better.

I agree with lonely. I would especially like it if you did those things :D

~I still love how colourful it is.

It can't? You shouldn't give up so easily :P

I'll take a look at it after I get everything else caught up...shouldn't be too hard, lightening and removing lines is all >.>

Ah, the all font is source save your name....

hmm...

Well, I found the source of the picture: http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Slayers/item21239/
I can get you a bigger version if you want.

I'd use the original to make a new one from scratch, but I suck at effects, so Foxy can bloody well do it. So anyway, here's a somewhat fixed version. Yes, I'm aware is sucks, and yes, I'm also aware the Equalize effect overdid it and made it too dark whilst making the text too bright...I'll fix it tomorrow, deal with it :P

I do like it with the "Livin' Wild" bit

Nobody else does, and we have to look at it every time you post. The horror.

Ahem~ In all honesty do what you please, but I also prefer it without "Livin' Wild". If you could put Saint Ebony instead, in some nice fancy font that would look much better.

I do like it with the "Livin' Wild" bit ....why...didn't...you...SAY so >.< bastard, I spent an hour or more trying to get the damn thing out (without good results because of the way the colors were handled when it was put in).

If you could put Saint Ebony instead, in some nice fancy font that would look much better.
How about that? t'would be a hell of a lot easier...no, it'd be a snap, in fact.

I think Septy has too much time on his hands -_- I also think the way this is going you'd be better off with a different sig. I mean its been there for must be 48 hours now - when your actually here and active you know full WELL your sigs tend to last only that long before you get bored and change them anyway Eb -_-
