That is nice for a first try...heh, I've never attempted a pixel sig, I've only tried making a pixel full dragon armor. Lol...makoto, you and me used the same subject for our sigs, but yours is much nicer...
Usually you save in PNG for good quality, but if that's too big then you might have to go with GIF. GIF has a little color loss but not as significant as JPEG. NEVER SAVE IN JPEG! EDIT: I didn't read the post clearly and I thought he meant pixel sigs.
I just posted them zoomed-in so you could see if I shaded them right or not... Here are the non-zoomed I'm also gonna be working on plate and kite so I can make a full set...:)
Current Progress on the Dragon Armor: I've decided not to do the cape... I'm temporarily finished unless anyone wants to suggest something... I need one more opinion though... Which should I use for my avvy? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
