OK now that I'm free I'm planning on making 3 sets (maybe more) in the next few days. But since I'm not using them I need someone's name to put in there ::) Any volunteers?  :)

Does this offer still stands ? :P
If yes then please use my name ( aka. make me a set :D )

mine is getting (or should I say has gotten) old ;D
Making some last touches.  ::)

EDIT: The Ava is a bit choppy, gonna need more work on this, but now I have to sleeeeeep.

First set: Celty Sturluson.

Offer still up for grabs? I will be quite busy for a long while so I request it. having my exams right now, and then have some tiresome project work.

See if you can get something around the theme so that everytime I look at the set I feel relaxed. :)

Currently working on suhaib's set right.

I'm not really making Sig's for people btw, more like, I'm bored and I need to practice my PS skillz and I'll just put your name on the finished product kind of thing :P

Still, if like it you can keep it :)

Yo, could one of you let me in on the secret to having your avas and sigs change randomly as you refresh the page? I really want to do that because It is hard for me to decide which of my sets to use...

New F/SN set. Opinions, please?

^ ...that had no relation to your post ;D I was asking what people think of my new set.
To answer your question, I believe you need your own hosted domain for that.

... I had no trouble interpreting the original text. /aside

My layperson's opinion is that I don't really like the ava. Can't say why, really, but the shadowy figure in the BG makes me feel funny. It doesn't strike me as referencing any character in FSN, so it feels even further out of place. ... But, I'm not overly familiar with all of the canon of FSN, either, so maybe it is incredibly relevant and should stay.

Admittedly, Archer is my preferred male char from FSN, so I'm probably biased to begin with.

That aside, the blue in the sig feels out of place. FSN strikes me as darker, and seeing a bright blue sky just feels... odd to me. If you -want- the cheery look, then I don't really see anything wrong with the BG. Other than that, Saber doesn't feel very Saber-y to me, but I can't really pin down why, and it's really just the art style anyway. Her face feels somewhat loli-fied, but I could just be looking at it wrong.

The BG color in the ava also seems a bit too close to Shirou's hair color, IMO. I'd prefer something with a bit more contrast. Ignoring my preference for Archer, I feel as if Shirou's face is too far off-center to really be in-focus. That's just a feeling, though, and I can't really explain what I mean better than that. If I had to try, I'd probably say it feels like I see the rest of him before I see his face*, and the face just doesn't stand out much. It might be because his clothing makes it look like there's a giant arrow in the middle of his chest, though.
*Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Obviously, I can't speak to any of the technical aspects, so as I said that's just my layperson's opinion.

^ Excellent critique.

About the shadowy figure in the avatar: It's actually Shirou in epic badass mode from the Heaven's Feel route in the visual novel.

I tried to give both the figures equal focus, which is why I darkened it so much.  So the figures stay as they are.

I will change the background's color balance for the avatar. Maybe a night-sky blue. Thanks for that.

I was going for a more cheerful look in the sig. I know what you mean about Saber...she looks a bit young. Let's see if I can fix that.

Did a bit of work. How about now?
I'm happy with the way Saber looks now. Not so sure about sig...both versions look equally good to me.

Different font would do well, and smaller, but I don't like the set anyways, it looks weird, but if you like it then it's fine.

pretty nice ava, the sig kind of different from ava but still looks nice. I wonder if you could do a more sexy sig that would fit the ava more, but that is all up to you, i like them anyways :)

Couldn't find any sexy pics. All I found was some Yaoi stuff. I'm not even sure that's celty in the Ava ;D
If you ever find any (with tights ;))  I'll make a new one.
