hmm... which should i use?
current...
or one of these?
Ok I'm having a problem. I tried to upload a signature from my computer and that didn't work. I tried uploading it to photobucket and using the direct link to image and that didn't work. Can anyone help me? I'm sure I'm making this way too complicated for myself *sigh*

Instead of advertising web pages, Arc ID's or giant or mulitple images with walls of text - I'd say yeah, it's pretty simple.

The one with the katana. Though I think you can shrink it a little. Then put Hemily and maybe a dA icon under the name. then have that link to your dA album.
I *think* the upload is broken. Admittedly, I just threw the IMG tagged line from photobucket in my signature,though.

Did you put the [IMG] tags at the beginning and end?
I'll try that.
Tada!
so despite all my former playing around, i just went with simple

The idea i had was an animation where it looked like a claw shredded the forum and thru the shreds you could see Sapphic Neko and then some text would appear. Sapphic in sensual pink letters and Neko in bolder blue letters with some catears on the O in Neko
no new sig, but a nifty new avatar !
Okay my turn! This took me forever. I so need to work on my Photoshop skills! Let me know what ya think - just be gentle it's my first time.
Power, I like it but what's taking from is the font...it doesn't suit the blasting image. I like how you put it in the blast though. 
Grae, your powerset listing in your banner is almost unreadable. The outerglow combined with the non-serif font and slant is just too much to distinguish through.

Sapphic - Your animated idea is good and would look awesome but it would be difficult to make.
Power Stream - Great job on the banner but Alt is correct regarding the font. Try playing around with a few ideas. Just a thought to consider - Try to make the power blast darker and your name read white or if you have the sillz, make it look like your name is glowing within your blast area.
Grae - Great looking banner but Suichiro is right about the readability. You have enough room in your image area to shift your head shot to the right and move your name and text over a little to gain more room for larger text. Try to justify the copy left and right under your name. Great job tho!

Thanks, I just did not notice it. Maybe if I toned down the glow of the small letters it may be more legible.|

I did shrink the banner from the original size so that may be part of the problem.

I agree. And really, I think Bayani's "chiclet" style buttons are the way to go.

Papyrus can have its uses, though.

Every font has it's uses, poor Comic Sans just has been overused and abused. I've seen it in professional power point presentations and that's just sad. Papyrus is becoming as abused as Comic Sans...but let's not start getting into a font talk, or we'll be here all day and night and another day.
