All you have to do is save the image to your computer, as a .png, then host it on a website like ImageShack or Photobucket.
Go to your control panel and there's a place you can input the URL they give you to the signature ( Direct URL ).
Submit it and you should have it.
Saving it as a Jpeg, like you did, causes it to lose the cut-out aspect as it adds a white background and causes image loss that I can see in the background.
Trust me, .png is the way to go. It will keep your signature nice and crisp. ♥
I wasn't sure about putting drakes behind Jace, because I really don't do card-art blends. I leave that to the other shops, merely because everyone wants them and I just don't think I would have the time to pump three to four of those out in a few day span, while keeping my sanity. I am still unsure how the other shops manage. Haha.
I put the drake in the avatar. I originally wanted to use Gilded Drake, but it looks like a lizard without-the-drake-part when you put it into an avatar form.
I used Lumengrid Drake merely because of the color selection and it having the easiest chance to match the Jace art.
Please host the images on your own image-hosting site that way I can keep some bandwidth low on my Imageshack account. ♥
Any questions of changes, feel free to ask about them here or in PM and I'll do my best to accommodate.
Okay. This place is reopening. I have been away for a while, dealing with moving, a tough relationship, and entirely wiping my computer then trying to restore it to its previous glory.
With this brings a second member to Blank Page.
Hopefully, having two members will allow requests to easily be dealt with and multiple answers reached.
That being said, I have added Suicide King to the roster for this shop.
Unless your opponent has godly levels of reaper micro, all it really takes to stop the rush is a few well placed spine crawlers and good defensive micro.
So you are willing to slow down everything to do the one thing that Zerg is bad at doing? Playing defensively around your base?
I've watched so many Reapers beat Zerg players in tournaments, actual tournaments.
'No offense to anyone here, but if they can't do it...I'm highly HIGHLY doubtful about members of this board.
There is a reason they get paid to play the games, sorta' like Magic the Gathering.
I am not saying that there aren't better players....But for the "Unwashed Masses" like myself and many others, it's nearly impossible.
To be honest, while your one spine crawler digs in, I am pretty sure they will just keep trying to rape your Drones and if you are using resources to make Spine Crawlers, aren't they just going to move from Reapers to MMM or something of the like?
All it takes is some stop-shoot movement and now you are out Drones, Roaches, Zerglings, or a Hive/Lair.
It's a tough fight.
A five barrack open on the Terran side can be really hard to counter.
As soon as they see the Reapers aren't working anymore, they immediately switch to a strategy that practically counters all of the Zerglings and Roaches you were building to stop the Reapers.
And it costs them zero time and resources to switch said strategy. ( Reapers don't cost that much....So they aren't really losing much besides the build time...Which is why it is easy for them to change the strategy quite rapidly, most likely before the Zerg player even has time to react to the Reapers since they have to build all of the tech-buildings and upgrades WHILE trying to fight them off. )
Meanwhile, you have some Spine Crawlers and if you're lucky, Banelings.
I just feel like Zerg fights are very uphill after the initial clashes with the opposition. Especially in that situation.
Sure, you can adjust your forces more rapidly than a Terran or Protoss player. . . But your forces are also generally weaker.
I'd also like to mention that I really enjoy Infestors.
I feel like they are, if the game literally goes on forever, a good finisher over Brood Lords.
Fungal Growth and Infested Terrans are a pretty easy sweep against most units.
Fungal Growth alone can change the entire tide of a fight, especially against units that are clearly better teched than the Zerg units.
I still use Zerg and will for some time, but I have to admit that the temptation to change races lingers heavily inside me.
It's quite micro intensive, but they definitely don't get worthless that easily. Reapers will keep Speedlings in check for just about forever, and Tanks/Marauders are easy to switch to and eat Roaches alive.
I agree with this.
Idra, perhaps the most temperamental and one of the best Zerg players in the world, lost nearly THREE TIMES in a best of five to his Terran opponent using Reapers in the finals of a large German tournament.
In game one, he doesn't even get to expand.
Game two, he was able to get Mutalisks and Banelings up.
Then in game three he gets raped by them again.
Game four his Terran "Friend" switched to Hellions and ended the matches that way.
To be honest, it happens just the way Amadi says it does.
The Terran uses the Reapers then immediately switches to MMM and eats your Roaches.
There are two things I've noticed about this game that fuel a burning rage within me.
1.) It's unbalanced. Hugely unbalanced. I am waiting for the patch like such a crazy mo-fo. I know lots of people are going to say I am just complaining to complain or "Get better, noob.". But seriously. Think about it. What positive sight does Zerg even have anymore? Is there an upside now? Sure, you can rush. 'But guess what. When you get your Zerglings down there, they probably have Zealots. You know what Zerglings do to Zealots? Nothing. They die a horrible, horrible, death. And if you wait and mass up an army? Voidrays. Know what those say to Zerg, in general? "Good luck." What's that? You need Mutalisks or Hydralisks to try and counter those things? It's too late. Zealots are already knocking at your door. Oh my, they built a cannon in my base! Lol. ( Obvious exaggeration. ) I feel as though Terran and Protoss players are at such an advantage at this stage, that it's not even funny. It could explain why nearly ALL ZERG PROS are losing to their Terran and Protoss brothers/sisters. I will be so happy when the patch fixes some build-times and damage.
2.) Most people just write the game off as the same. Or they "miss the old one." What? Are you insane? Some units were just dead in the last game. At least the units in this have applications. Queens make sense now. The fact that you can select large unit groups and hotkey more buildings and such adds to the overall evolution of the game. Now you have to have great early game micro-management and great late game macro-management. You can't just go in there with all micro-management of small groups and hope and pray that your opponent won't amass a giant army and crush you. If anything, I feel like this game takes MORE skill. There are MORE counters to strategies, more emphasis on information, more time being given to the actual gameplay. Not...."How fast did you memorize the Zergling Rush order?". Now it's literally...."Do I six pool him? That's so risky. Zealots rape me hard. What if he doesn't have any? If I wait around for roaches, he may just win there. Perhaps I should wait until 10?" You have so much more to think about. Even if you scout, for all you know, your opponent could have 2 Zealots by the time you get there or 20.
Overall, I like the game. Overall, I hate being paired with a random person. I always get the guy that goes.."What does rush mean?". ( Obviously exaggerating. ) <3
I used the idea, had I entered this week's contest, of blowing "outside of the box".
However, I just can't find enough time to work on something for the contest too.
That being said, as always, if there is something you dislike---Please let me know. Things can be changed/added/subtracted still. It's an editable .PSD file, as I am sure you are aware~. <3
Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body?
'And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly?
'And can you kneel before this king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean?
'But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
'Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage.
You did not think when you sent me to the brake, the brake.
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections.
'So tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?

Tips of the Trade 1: A required post count of 29 is necessary to request some sort of graphic work here. ( 29, you say? ).
2: Please realize you are making a request, not a demand. You are not giving up anything to the artist, myself, for producing the work you desire so please don't get very "antsy" because something wasn't done on schedule for you.
3: All requests are on a first-come first-serve basis and will be created in that order.
4: All requests are not auto-accepted. Some work is just impossible. Do not make multiple requests for multiple objects. A single request can, however, ask for an avatar and banner set. Animated signatures/avatars are not my favorite creation to make, so please keep those to a minimal.
5: If a request is made, please use card tags if the artwork is a card. Please link to some form of art that is required, or at least be detailed in what you ask, otherwise.
6: No, I will not blend three-five Magic the Gathering cards together for you. There are at least four other shops here that will gladly do so. ( Yes, I realize I am cutting my audience down by not doing so. )
7: Please link back to this shop and credit "+Redemption+" or "Blank Page Designs" if something is completed. ( Preferable locations of such linking would be in your signature, under your new and awesome-super-cool banner~. If you don't, I just won't make anything for you anymore~. )
8: All designs are subject to executive decisions and some changes may be made to better suit the work.
9: Let's start a revolution. Something different for all. <3
I will have a slimmer-sized version for you in a few minutes or so.
Opening up Photoshop now to get it all worked out.
Sorry about the trouble.
I will reply to this thread with the new version.

Without further delay:
He's usually much more proficient at getting projects done than I ever have been.
( I am a procrastinator sometimes or just get wrapped up in other things. Haha. )
I used a real eye, so that we wouldn't get that "anime" feel you didn't want to happen.
If something needs changed let me know.

CAUTION: Large image.
I PM'ed you about the size. You can reply here or in the PM. Either is fine with me.
Sorry about the lateness, but I don't check this forum too much anymore as the contests and graphics section has started to become a drying oasis.
With this brings a second member to Blank Page.

'Now lets get some stuff done~.
I am sorry, a lot has just happened this last week between work and my personal relationship with a female.
I plan on finishing up work on the second request tonight after work.
Something should be up by the end of the weekend.
'Again, sorry about the delay.
