Well, thank you! Blazestarre made my avatar. I like it so much that I don't want to change it! And I made my profile picture a LONG time ago, when I first started using GIMP. Compared to my graphics now, I don't think that it's all that great...
All I did was start with a gray background, added the render, then added a flame (which creates the colors seen in the background). The text was the last thing to go in. So, as you can see, it didn't take a whole lot of steps...
Oh, and awesome username~
