I made the sig text smaller because I think it's a little too big... but I might be wrong. If anyone is actually reading this thread could you tell me if the text seems too big or too small? It'd help out a lot to have someone else's opinion on whether the text in my sig is too big or not. Here's a smaller size for the text that I think fits well but I could always adjust as needed. Let me know if it's too big or too small though please, anyone that's reading these. It'd help a lot. Here they are:

I decided to go with a font that had more narrow letters to see how it looked and I liked the result, so I went with it. I also put it in the avy. Voila:

So I've been looking for a font that fit. Y'know, one I felt more comfortable with using in the animated gif compilation I've made of Joey and Mai (or what I just call AniGif lol) and I've finally found one I felt like would be a perfect fit. Like always, I found this new one at dafont.com and it's called Emotional Rescue which fit the scene that the gifs show perfectly I think. To me the name of the font is just as imporant in some cases, but the sig font looked like it fit, and I used the same font for the avy but the details you can't really see in it. So, this new Emotional Rescue font spoke to me with the emotional part and Joey rescuing Mai from Dartz's clutches with that duel. So, here's one of my newest pride and joy creations:

Looks good, right? :dance:

I also checked the Distances option in Photopea to show where the username text was in numbers, so that's how I've lined up the text in the 2 gifs separately so well. The measurements were exact as far as the numbers showed. Just in case anyone was wondering. :sweatdrop:

So, I did a set of Joshua Christopher from Chrono Crusade, the little brother of Rosette Christopher. Other than being the younger brother, when the series is over, Joshua has the following problem
  Spoiler:  
he thinks he's a little kid again instead of the teenager he is and has no memory of anything after Aion gave him Chrono's horns
and then this happened after a certain incident as a kid at an orphanage
  Spoiler:  
after Aion gave Joshua Chrono's horns is when Joshua started hearing voices
so there's a lot that make me think of myself when it comes to Joshua. It's one of the series I've never regretted, not even once. So, here's the set I made~ :^_^:

For the animated gif as an avy I copied the final layer of the gif segment that had the same frames and copied it over the other layers of the gif in Photopea, which made it look like he was just smiling instead of talking because it's from a scene where he's talking in Chrono Crusade. Episode 2, near the end of it. He doesn't stay still smiling like that for that long so it wsa interesting the creative ways to make a gif change.

So, I had this idea to make a gif for a sig using 2 different sig pics. I'm pleased with the result. :^_^: I hope it's ok though? I mean, if it's breaking any rules I'll change it but I didn't think there were rules against using animated gifs as sig pics. And I made another avatar too, trying to utilize both DBZ as well as DBS in the set. What do you think? :dance:

With my latest Android 17 and Android 18 sig I used this BG for it then used Image> Adjustments> Gradient Map using black on one end an green on the other, then just kind of moving the 2 colors around until the I found the right amount of each so one didn't overpower the other. Using the free photo editor Photopea that I'm glad I found. Here's what it originally looked like though:
