@ krazyammo: It wasn't done on PS (Other than HaZMaT's insertion of the fading effect) :wink: , but thanks :D

@ danyutz: I've got to switch it up a bit every now and then, and your sig looks great.

:lol: dude I wouldn't and don't mind if you do. I think all react members (if they make a sig for it) should put the mascott somewhere in the sig. It doesn't matter to me what style used or how it was used. Looks good bro. :)

It looks good on both bright and dark backgrounds, and look totally different on each. There are a few hidden effects you can only see on a darker background. :P

If it wasn't for its outrageous size, I'd be using it... :lol:

How can you tell if she's hot just by looking at her face? She has the exact same face as every other anime chick, anyway.

To me, a face and her personality are the most important things to a girl. I don't really care about huge knockers... a back normally helps the case tho. XD

So I should smoothen it up a bit. What's the best way to do that, I tend to get a pretty aliased edge...Anything better other than blurring the edges a bit?

My way of smoothing edges is to ctrl+click the layer or in your case merge all the layers and ctrl+click the layer to select it. Got to Select > Feather and set it to about 2 or 3 pixels. Invert the selection and tap delete a couple times. Then you have smooth, soft edges with barely any hassle.

The hard way would be to take a round soft brush, zoom in like mad, then carefully and tediously erase the edges.

If you want a transparent .GIF, the edges have to be jagged, there's no way around it. You could, however, use a transparent .PNG, but the file size may be too large.

If however you want to use a .png just decrease the px size of the sig to something like 400x120 or 350x110 or something. That'll greatly reduce the size of the sig when saving.

There's also the possibility of using the Save for Web feature (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) and save it as a .PNG-8. Normally, this would cause colour loss, and would lose quality. However, since you're using sprites which normally don't use more than 256 colors, there should be none if not little colour loss.
