Gonna give that a try. I only just discovered the reimaging tool to shrink the pic...think I'll play around with backgrounds and come up with something along the lines of a dwarven paladin or death knight....I'd like to see other work you two have as well!

My interpretation:
I'm not happy with the file size, 72.86 KB PNG... but the JPEG bleed in the red text was too great for me to be happy with even a 100% quality JPEG. Easily worked around (don't use red text ) but I wanted to keep in the spirit of the original.

I added a cropped piece of the sky from http://www.thedruidsgrove.org/elemen...Grove_2of2.jpg which I had already resized to 1024x768 (my current desktop wallpaper, heh) and as such fit the 150 pixel high image better.

I also removed the Vanguard logo, I couldn't find a way to fit it in without the image seeming cluttered, so I added your tag line in an 8 point bitmap font, the same one I used for the Sun Tsu quotes when I made some EQ2 sigs. The 1 pixel wide stroke around the outside helps make it look less "pixely", it looks REALLY good with a black stroke too, but again I wanted to keep to the spirit of the original.

Looking at it myself after I'd typed the above, I notice that the light sources don't match background to foreground - I might fix that...

OMG Fisty, those magelo backgrounds are gorgeous! I'm awestruck!

I love the balance and clarity in the ThunderAxe's sig, Lightning! Great work! There's some amazing talent among all of you guys.

Tweaked:
Adjusted the text positioning, redid the background, changed the tagline stroke to black.

Just downloaded Gimp last night myself, still toying with it (took me an hour just to figure out how to get started :evil: ).

Need to know what the max specs are for size and pixel and such in order to have my sig hosted, or better yet a suggestion as to a good size ( Totally new to sig building but I'm hellbent on doing it myself ).
