I'm working on this for someone...and I wanna give it to him soon. I have played with about 15 different texts from dafont, and all the coordinating colors I could come up with... Any suggestions? The sig is supposed to be kind of cheesy if that helps...

Papyrus? Comic Sans?

Also, are you recycling effects for sigs?

Just to name 2... >_<

Anyway, tone the color down, try making it dark-purple-ish(Like, reaaaaly dark. :P). Also you might want to consider putting in a name, and lowering the size of the 'O rly?'. As for a font, I don't know any fonts from the top of my head that would fit. I suppose you could look on DaFont for a square-like font, to go with the pattern you've put in.

Look in the mirror. Within thirty minutes in the artists corner you have exhibited less maturity than ALL of our younger members here. I'm a veteran of the USAF and a cultured person, and Im just giving you a friendly tip - person to person (because at this point I actually pity you), take your own advice and read a book, one on tact, diplomacy, perhaps mental disorders... you have some very strong opinions but your delivery is lacking greatly.

The way you are going about it now people will just shrug you off. Having an opinion AND having it listened to is key to persuasion and interaction.

I'll use one of your quotes.

Stop writing something so stupid.


Your getting really annoying. - reK

Just to clarify, Im a veteran, meaning Im much older than 17. Also, I was an airborne linguist, I speak/read/write Pashto (Afghani) fluently and was among the top 2% of the Air Force in test scores. I didn't bring up my military experience as an allusion to my age/intelligence - read it again smartass. I brought it up because you seem to be so proud of being an American, I thought you may take some advice from a person who's fought to defend that freedom of speech you hold so f u cking dearly, and had friends die for it as well.

I think I covered that thoroughly. I am not an immature person, I sometimes react without tact but that isn't due to a lack of maturity.

[stupid immature voice]Do you know what a hobby is?

If you think this is a stupid hobby, don't come to artist corner and complain about it. Just don't make PS signatures yourself, your two posts aren't gonna change anything, nor will a third post. What you just typed is the real waste of effort, time, and energy.[/stupid immature voice]

Well dam...I just wanted some text advice :) There's a war in my thread eeeep...

Thanks much I will try and darken it up a bit and find a straighter text..also looking into this comic sans that has everyone loling. I am recycling effects bc I'm a noob and I need to expand my "skill set" (if you can call it skill at this point) hehehehe

For the gentleman causing havoc, the sig is actually for my husband who posts on this forum also, so despite your lack of tact and diplomacy, you even failed to make a good point.

And to Rizla :love:
