Very nice, Grimnir, your revised signature definately captures the AoC feel.

My only suggestion is to make the backgroup a significantly opposing color to the dark character, so that the character stands out, instead of blending into the backgroup. Random Hero's signature does this well, but has mountains in the backgroup. Maybe some yellow and orange flames or white snow in the background could achieve this (in wich case the bottom center phrasing could be red to match LoS and player name).

Simply sharing my suggestions, but I honestly think you did a great job!

I guess I'll post it here too.. I don't want to spam, but I want you guys to see it. I think you'll get a good chuckle from it:

Yeah, I kinda wanted the character to be coming out of the dark, and to almost blend in with it. I might up the contrast/brightness, but we'll see. Gonna mess around with some other idea's later on.

And Random....I'm gonna stick with my current one for a bit longer till I get something better.

Without further ado.....*drum roll*


Anyone up for having this thread stickied?
Still doesn't sound like a Cimmerian name to me, but then no one said it had too. If you like it stick with it; hell I plan on naming my Cimm Conquerer Elric, if i can lock it fast enough

I really like the new pic btw, I just think the text on the bottom is too big... seems to cover up to much of the picture itself. Still, it's a nice line and a sweet font so maybe it would work better if you tried reducing the size a little; big enough that it is still legible, but small enough that it doesn't take away from the picture.

P.S: you already have the best sig in the guild so might as well let it stand

Yeah Hydallan doesn't sound too Cimmerian I admit, it sounds more like a nordish name or something. I'm thinking of different names but so far that's my favorite. In other MMO's I use the name Hrothgor (or variations in spelling) so I might continue that trend.

Also, thank you for the kind words, but I doubt it's the best. I see everyone else's sig and I love them all. I wish I knew how to get the sig boxes like Torr's sigs.

ah I like it. A lot "brighter" compared to all the others ones we've seen on these forums. A little different, but 'm diggin it.

9/10 (10/10 if it was of a darker nature)
