Try using color burn or other layer preferences to give the background some dynamic tune.

Save it as a GIF. You can make it transparent without issues.

I'll probably start the Artist's Corner thread/forum in a few days. I need to ask around first.

PNG works as well, too.

GIF is best for Animation
JPEG is all around
PNG is for renders and hang overs on sigs........

Just a bit of 411....


that is the newest creation :P

Apparently not in this case.

Apparently not in this case.



That's not actually PNGs fault, nor ImageShack's, but rather IE's rather buggy implementation of displaying PNGs. In a halfway decent browser such as Firefox, Opera, Safari or even IE for Mac PNGs show up with transparency just fine.

In fact, PNG should be preferred over GIF in nearly all cases because it supports more than 256 colors, has a full alpha layer (meaning you can do half-transparent things as well... especially neat if you want nice smooth transparent edges) and is not encumbered by patents. The only thing PNG cannot do is animation (but see MNG), but then again, animated GIFs are so lame/annoying that no one in their right mind would use them in the first place.

EDIT: Apparently IE 7 is to include proper PNG support as well.

My only beef with my sig is the lasers, after having a fresh look at it, they suck...but the render changes drastically color wise with all the special stuff for it.

go figure...well anyways thats #32...so back to the drawining board....

As for Yliths....

I can make out the face, and a body but that background has confused me....I dont get it I guess. :D
