I like the unclear guy - he could be really good in a horror themed adventure game

New avatar and sig, done in Paint.
Tell me what you think

[Tom Henrik]

I like it, but you could've cleaned out the jpeg compression the the Killzone fairly easy with the filler tool, and then copy it as a transparent second layer over the background.

Otherwise it looks really great

...just as I had got used to picturing you as a freckled female.

Both look good, but they seem to differ in style. Are they meant to go together?

[Blood-Pigggy]

They're both from the same source but they're supposed to contrast.

Info on Killzone for those of you that have never heard of it or played it.

[A. J. Raffles]

Ah, right. I only meant that at the moment the pictures look like they are using two different shades of red and different shades of grey, so they clash a bit. Might just be my screen settings, though.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Strange, those are two sets of the same orange, I took the orange from the eyes to make the text, (and copied the basic structure from the already existing Killzone text)

[A. J. Raffles]

Hmm, strange. It might be more obvious if you add a little glow to the letters as well, but I'm not sure whether that would work with the background.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Glow?
I'm using paint, that would take a year

I can change the background from the trees and etc.

Lemme see how that will work out.

Okay, here's the new one, I replaced "Killzone" with "Kill".
It's grim, but how does it look?

[greywolf]

It's pretty darn cool... especially considering you're doing it all in paint. I like the orange contrast with the black background; it shows up better and matches the glow on the goggles, too.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Thanks, you just convinced me to make it my new sig  

And Tom, what do you mean by that little proccess that you told me?
Can you explain it without the fancy terminology (considering me, it's probably not even that fancy, I'm just too daft to understand it )

[DeathDude]

Pretty good stuff dude.

I don't believe Paint has layers, actually. So he probably thought you were using Photoshop - I think you can take that as a compliment.

[Tom Henrik]

Paint has layers

It has two layers, of which one can be transparent. Just as I said

[A. J. Raffles]

Ah. Never thought of those as layers, really.
