It kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, its huge...and it takes forever to load...sigs shouldn't hinder the loading of a thread. As far as the composition goes, it's great...maybe the empty space next to "trunks" is a bit much. I like the contrast between the color character in the front and the duotone in the back...very nice...size it down, make it a gif...

That Better?

where's the connection to "eyesore" ?
besides that, its a nice effect!

still took a while to load. it's nice work- is that your original art? doesn't fit your name though. i think it would be funny to have this horrible jaggy looking sig with a name like eyesore. hehe. welcome, btw.

peace

And in the spirit of anime and jaggies i proudly present:

but the guy *can* make'em unjaggied as well: http://ninja.powers.ice.org/gallery01.html

oh, well...

right.....the sig....
ehh, I've got to say ditto!
- 39kb is heavy (if you are on modem. I got cable for three days now, whohooo)
- I like the artwork
- If you are going by the nick of trunks in the DBZ-forum i get it, otherwise it should include your nick.

Mina 20 öre (that's 0,2 krona)

I think maybe trunks is his name on the other forum.

Dragon BallZ? Is that some kind of medeival porno?

Yeah its for a anime, and my name on that forum is Trunks.., ill make another one for my name on here.

40K is way to big for a sig, You should try to keep it under 20 i would say

tell me how in photoshop, i want it to look good but small file size but look good in its orignal quailty

well I think it is darn cheeky of you to display a sig *you* made for anotehr forum here! sheesh! how inconsiderate! LOL... but that aside... anime is not my thing by a long shot.....

anyhoo.. as to your file size question using photoshop.. there are a couple of things you can try..

first.. try making the whole sig actually physically smaller.. this will reduce the file size

second.. maybe try saving as a gif instead of a jpg... your image has some fairly solid colurs and hard transitions and gif might result in better compression without sacrificing quality that much

third... dont be so fussy and just save it as a lower quality jpg!
