Ok Kee, two diff. sigs w/ a different spin off my usual take with your char. *I like this the best. If you want resizing or have any critiques, please, I'm all....eyes? lol. EDIT-- I suppose I should resize them anyhow seeing as they were auto-reduced...what is our dimensions again? 500x200?

"It's like your a drug".....Hehe I think I like it.
I agree that the second one is more of a favorite of mine, although I think the image of Nora in the top one has better color.
Resizing is a great idea, but I'm not sure what the dimesions shoudl be, thats a question for Cait or Bryan
Also I was wondering if you just came up with this idea for something new, and decided you didn’t like the others you pmed me, or if you just forgot about them. :)Cause I was still waiting for you to switch the font. Also a new avatar would be great.
Speaking of Avatar, I saw the movie in 3-D, and I think it was amazing. They really did a spectacular job with the graphics, and the creatures. Even if the movie was nearly three hours long I thought it was amazing. Also It should not be confused with Avatar the Air bender, cause that’s a different movie.

The resizing code is set for a maximum width and height of 500. The sigs look pretty --- I like the bottom one, but I like the dimensions of the first one (I don't know why, but I prefer signatures to be thin in the height or a certain proportion ). My only qualm with them is that the figure (Nora) is grainy compared to the rest of the graphic -- perhaps doing a bit of a "edge preserving smooth," at least that's what I use to smooth images a bit in my Paint Shop Pro (though I do a bit of layering opacity with the original to keep some of the sharpness as it can be lost with this feature). But they are pretty. I love the layering of, I'm assuming of the metal image over the rose (?), as well as the text. You always seem to manage to do most of your text so smooth and pretty looking.

Wowzers! Thanks so much guys, I love the input! @ Keaira: "It's like your a drug" is a lyric from Kelly Clarkson's "Addicted" -- a fav. of mine. I felt like it was appropriate in the sense that whether or not Keaira still has feelings for Alessandro, there's just something between the two that is compelling. Or, at least thats how I (Alessandro) feels about Keaira. I'll definitely resize and fix the image of Nora. --Also about the other images, yes, I do believe I forgot...I have also been a bit messy with the storage of my files on my computer and did a recent clean up and found the images but I haven't the foggiest idea of what I was supposed to do on that subject...something about the font? but idk. My muse shifts quickly and I've been playing around with your images A LOT. Keaira is hard for me to do if I'm not making a rose background and barbed wire...so I experimented and left my comfort zone. All in all, I ended up just using a rose background after messing with duplicate layers and different effects and layering. --Avatar. Yes. OMG. In 3d is the only way to see it. I was in the very first row (unfortunately) b/c we were late, but it was still the best ride of my life. I thought the alien version of the main char. was hot, is that wrong? lol. I loved the movie's theme and I found it very interesting to see that we were the aliens invading their planet, doing the things that we usually see aliens doing to us. A lot of people say that it is a metaphor for some government issue or something, but you know me, keep me out of politics and stuff. @ Cha: THANKS! And I also feel you on your preference. Usually I make my graphics all 500 x 200, but lately I've been coming out of my comfort zone. Before it used to be 600 x 400, if you could imagine...lol. Unfortunately I can't afford fancy programs like paint shop pro I use the good old fashioned GIMP, and am not even sure how to do what you suggest, lol but I'll figure it out based off of Cait's reply. I take it as a very nice compliment that you like my text. I have always had a thing about my text looking smooth and not edgy...theres a protocol on my text thing in GIMP that does "auto-hinter" and I noticed when thats not checked the text looks miserable. I also do layering, gaussian blurrs, motion blurrs, and drop shadows to varying intensities to get my text looking like that, and I'm also a fan of the duplicate layers with different modes and opacities. @ Cait: Yes, there is a Levels and Curves dialog, I have NO idea what I'm doing when I mess with them though, so I guess I'll just have a go at it for fun. Thanks!

Yes the alien version of Jake sully was pretty darn hot. They made him have such a slender waist without making his butt look tiny. It sucks that it was so packed when you saw it, when I went it was at 5:00pm,so everyone was just getting off work and there was like 5 people in the theater including the two other people i went with.
I heard a lot of people say that they thought it was a bad movie because it was a mix of furngully and dances with wolves, however I still enjoyed it a lot. The whole movie was just a masterpiece of art in my opinion.
