Signature. Something that has a cool, dark picture of Mephisto. It has to be noie (like my signature) sith a really faded picture of the woman in my signature..Google noir and you will find the original picture of her there. Normal sized..like my signature, and in the bottom right corner, And The Heavens.... Shall Tremble; would do great.
Dude you may have a money making angle here with these avatars, on the cute frilly side of things there is a girl making 6 figures putting stuff up for myspace pages etc. called WhatEverLife, I think you may have something for the other side of the fence. Worth thinking about.
Whateverlife was started by a girl who started making avatars, and other graphics that could be used in peoples myspace page layouts and other stuff like that.
She makes most of her income through advertizing dollars, I have met a few people who are making between $20 to 50 thousand a month in that arena through something called affiliate marketing.
She has covered the fluffy girl power aspect of stuff, there is really little out there for gamers like us that I have seen. But you have seemed to get some generated interest in your avatars. You seem to have a passion for making good online art, so setup a myspace site or something and learn to harness google AdSense, all you need is repeat traffic to your site and then you have a captive audience that loves your stuff and may just click on that ‘buy me’ add to the right.
I started to some stuff like that but I am taking a different direction in online business which may come back to this later. Here is an example of what I did, to give you an idea.
I still have a few old web pages that I'm not advertising much where people can use a web page like a key board to generate code to spell words This only fully works in IE now, security updates broke some of my code in other browsers.
Basically it lets you add stuff like this to a post (although I had to modify to this sites [] format.
I don’t think you would need to code but just create a site where there are great graphics and layouts. Look at getting business license and company name and dude you are off to the races. Do it right and you will never need a job.
Your stuff is pretty good, you know your way around Photoshop and have a passion for it. No doubt you have come across a lot of stuff that you have said to yourself 'oh hell I can do better than that!'
At the age of 42 if there was one thing I could change about the last 20 years it would have been the self doubt I had. There are lots of people who will suck it out of you too, some cruelly, some well intentioned. Just decide you are going to fire at what you love now and don't let anyone tell you different, if you need to don't tell anyone anything.
I had a room mate years ago who changed my thinking. We were piss poor, paid $200 month to rent rooms in a weird house that held AA meetings (long story but hey the rent was cheap), he liked sports nutrition and got ridiculed. They called him fast Eddie, shark, guppy, crazy Eddie, and a dreamer. Business after business he failed, finally he started a company called EAS and made millions, he then sold that and went on to make another company he just sold called MRI. He has 2 years community college which he did not finish.
So in short yeah you can do it. I would start with ad dollars first. Don't let failure get you, it is a necessary part of success, it's just like when we learned to walk.
Due to customers using a sig for a week then changing there signature and a week then changing there signature and a week then changing there signature, etc, I have decided that this thread is closed untill further notice.
Thank you and have a good day.
I would suggest other sig/avater makers do the same untill people understand what it means to have a signature.

Sorry if I come off short, still fuming about my boss being a complete asshole today...
Welcome to America.
Actually, I should do something like whiteghost and require a picture... Make shit alot easier...
Edit: Ok, fuck it. I'm requiring pictures like Whiteghost. That means this Noir person from mephisto and a gargoyle from death.
A picture must accompany any sig/avatar request.
Thankyou for your time.
Here it is. I was actually wondering why you didn't require a picture before...
