My new avatar!



It was a nightmare trying to pick the font, and then I had so many issues with brightness and contrast. Then, I decided to scrap the whole thing and start over again. I couldn't make the whole image lighter the way I wanted because of the lighting of the original picture. So, I selected specific colors and lowered their saturation, then played around with the brightness and contrast some more, until finally I got the lighting I was looking for.

All of that literally took me over two whole hours. Over half an hour just to pick out the font, and then two hours trying to get the lighting the way I wanted it. But, I'm happy with the end result, so it was all worth it.

I have a request if you would.

Type: Signature
Image:

Background: Perhaps some faded cherry blossoms in the far side corner? (so, perhaps if you could extend the white to the left or right, and add cherry blossoms to one of those corners? You're the expert, though. ;) )
Colors: Light pink, white, faded teal (like her eyes and hair piece)
Words: Not needed, but maybe Furie and The Windrunner? Again, up to you.

Thanks in advance.

New signature! This one is based on the Alicization Arc of the Sword Art Online series. I used nothing but the art from volumes 9-12 to make it. It took me over three hours. Dx

Rendering and fading the pictures was a huge pain in the butt. It took me so long to get it the way I wanted it... And the text was even worse. I couldn't find a text generator of the font, so I copied/pasted the individual letters I needed from the cover of vol 10. That was so tedious. Dx And what's more, GIMP wouldn't let me round the corners like I wanted. Why, GIMP? ;-;

But, in the end, I really like the way it came out. It was a lot of work to make.

EDIT: I figured out what was preventing me from rounding the corners, so I fixed that and updated the signature.

Az, your graphics are perfect. I really love the new sig; you balanced out the faded parts really well. Good job. ^^
