While we are talking about that type of thing, does anyone have suggestions as where to find good pics to serve as avatars. I have searched heaps for Cyric Style ones or anything evil, but cannot find anything in the way of good pics. At least nothing like that which others have found.

Thanks in advacen :)

oh..and Cret, no idea sorry, never used sigs myself

Signature images may be no larger than 1" high by 3" wide and (if I remember right) no larger than 50k in JPG or GIF format.

To display a signature image on this board, follow the instructions in the BBCode. I found this code a LOT more user friendly than the ez(HAH!)Board code for the same function.

Certain free website servers don't allow bandwidth sharing (i.e. Geocities and AOL). What does this mean? You can put your images on their server and use them on that server as long as they're in connection with that server, but you won't be able to have another server access that image.

The signature images I've done for people are stored on the FK server. Sharni is great about uploading them :)

You probably already know about it, but the official DnD website has an art gallery with a load of pics... one of Cyric out of the Faiths and Pantheons is on there, as well as deity symbols and the like

I made mine in photoshop. A simple task of using layers and such. If you need help creating your own, Im sure Andreas will have Ideas, as do I.

Likewise on the photoshop front. It's pretty easy to come up with a simple design, but Andreas' works are something more. It's ideas that are the main thing... I spent 20 minutes making mine, but the best part of a few hours devising the concept/layout (I had nothing better to do, no :P).
