Thank you guys. I have been trying really hard to learn how to draw better in the past 6 months or so. I have a long way to go, and many things still to learn and get right, but am getting better all the time.

THANKS, AURO! I'm really enjoying making sigs, especially now that I have 4 Photo editing programs! LOL and none of them are Photoshop!
OMG, I don't even know anything about pictures, and don't even own a camera, can you belive that...? LOL :0 But I'm getting better every day at changing things around, inserting text, even re-coloring and putting splashie thingys on them.

I love your L, and I think you did an excellent, excellent job on him. I suspected that Iron Man was your drawing as well, but I wasn't sure. You go girl, you're getting really good at that! :x

PS - My system crashed when I was typing all of the above. Trend MicroAV was updating itself and this is the 2nd time that it crashes while TM was updating. I was really pissed off!

So I went to their website and was firing up a report, which didn't take. I ended up calling and talking with a nice girl there. She gave me some instructions and now I have to uninstall the AV (because it comes with AntiSpyware and seems to be conflicting with my Webroot SpySweeper.) I'm going to do that later on today, because I have some other things I need to finish first.

I think that next year, when it comes time to renew my subscription, I'm just going to go with Avast, since everyone here seems to like it really well... and save myself some $$ in the process.

@ Coastie - Nice new desktop there!

@ Kid - ZOMG, that's an awesome, AWESOME, desktop Kid!! Talk about 3Dimensionality! It took me right up there to the top!

Do you think that you could share the pic with me? (you can PM it to me if you'd like.)

Oh man I'm so inspired haha! I cannot wait to get home and tinker with
my desktop a bit and really play with the look of it. I have dream
scene so I want to check out some of the backrgournds/vids on that too
and see how they look.

Hi CompTechie and welcome to PCWorld Communities.

LOL I'm glad you felt inspired. It's great when we can share the many wonderful (and even weird) desktops that we have. We're always supportive of each other in this Community, and we have a lot of fun.

Come back and show us your new desktop when you get to it. :D

Thx Adama, may I offer a suggestion? I have been starting to learn
color theory psychological associations and colors used to enhance the
images. Now I don't know the char so I don't know what associations your trying to convey with the colors however there are no hot colors in the image.









Half the color wheel is hot colors while the other half are cool. Sun, fire, passion are shown in the greens reds yellows and oranges. While the other half, the blues purples, and some of the greens apparently are cool colors. They represent winter, a calm ocean washing along the relaxing shore.
www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html link if your interested.

Perhaps I'm missing something, maybe you like the colors, maybe there's royalty or something else you wanted to put in there. Just thought I'd share with you.

Thank you Adama its great to be a part of it and I most definitely will!

Hi Aurora,

Thank you for the great reference about colors, the color wheel and the link. You're right, there IS a psychology to colors, that's why you won't find too many restaurants with blue colors, rather greens and reds, vibrant colors to help people feel energized, happy, let's eat and get out of here kind of thing.

The colors on my sig... well... I always seem to gravitate towards pinks, shades of purples, golds, red, etc., all the hot colors. But this particular time, I just wanted to make it different, thus my choice of colors.

Was I psychologically trying to convey a message? Hmmm... I don't know. But I do like your suggesstion of royalty. hehe ;

OOOOooh Aurora, I just got what you were asking me! ...duh... :_|

Naah... it's nothing about the colors, it was about Kakashi being a Hawt Babe! LOL ;) :x

[AuroraDizon]

Yep I figured you just liked those colors. I just thought I'd share the char with you because my psychological association goes hot.. colors... ? lol :p :x

That thing is somethin else. coastie

Ok, here is another one from the web:

[coastie65]

WHOA!!! That's a goodie. I'm trying to wade through these notifications before my nephew gets over here and hijacks my computer for the day. Fortunately, he had to get a shot of some sort, so he will getting here a little later, then he'll be here until around 3:30. coastie

Hey coastie!!



This is just a wallpaper that I found in another forum where, for the past two years

they have been coding a new skin for Firefox 3.

If you are using FF3 then you might be interested with this new skin. It's free.

OK, here's the address Vienna Transformation Pack is 3.0. .

This skin was released yesterday. One thing though, It's for XP and not for Vista. Apparently the coder does not like

Vista. Allot of 3rd party coders don't like Vista. It seems that Microsoft has changed too much of the coding

to make feasible for them to even try.

most relaxing pic. you have ever seen.
