Fallen, that avatar is awesome! The pink text works well with the image. Only thing is, I can't read it. The size of the text works with the image, but the text is illegible at that size (if that makes sense). I wouldn’t be trying to read it otherwise, but since you asked... Anyway, besides that, I think it rocks. One of the best avatars I have seen in a long time. If not, the best I’ve seen…ever!

The sig: I don't think you should have put the text over the image, especially over the eye--which is a defining character of an anime character. I can't really say what you should do with it--the text--, but that just doesn't look right. The cropping of the image--slightly bigger than the avvie--is a cool idea, though. In some of my sig-avvie combos, I have been doing the reverse; I hadn't thought of the other way. Nice one.

Still, I can't read your avvie text. Word of advice: sometimes photobucket doesn't update stuff when you upload it over the same image. I usually have to save it as something else, upload it and edit my post for it to show.
What I meant was, the text shouldn't IMHO be going across the sig, especially over the eye. But that’s just my humble opinion. No worries, man.

Are you sure they are updated? Try saving it as something else and posting it again cause I can't see any difference.

Nope, looks the same for me a there, too. I think I know what the problem is. The pic has the same name right? So a pic by that name is cached in my browser. Therefore the picture it is showing is a cached file.

Clearing my browsers cache didn't do it either. Strange. There goes me being a genius.

Nah, that won't work. As I said, all he has to do is give it another name, upload it again, and post it. If he did indeed change it, as he tells us :wink:
