@Kurenio, Caelaza & Zmoni: Thanks guys <3
@Chaoyll: Thanks lol. I copy paste the formatting so I don't have to re-format all that text... seems I failed to re-write in the name <_<
@Valrose: You're welcome hun =)
@Snuzzle: Yep, you wouldn't be the first (Valrose is a druid) I do requests for any wow characters in these signatures.
@Niabi: I knew I would get something wrong with all those model viewer numbers, lol. My bad

I'm gonna see if I can fix it in a minute here. So glad you like it though! If you'd like your name or a matching border on your existing sig you should let me know too
I was a bit more specific on the details of my signature than most of the other requesters in this forum. Did you find this liberating or restricting to you as an artist? The complexity of managing different characters with gear vs. 1 character and their pets. Which would you say is your personal preference out of the two?
They are honestly both just as challenging in different ways, and I don't mind doing either at all. For me personally anyway I am most concerned about balancing out the colors in your type of signature because your characters are vastly different colors, and because some are classic and some are BC character models, the newer ones make the old ones look dated and blocky. So I do try to go back in and smooth out/tighten up those older models' images. But it's all fun and good
On the other types of signatures the hardest part is probably finding a way to arrange them that is flattering and still shows off the things we want to show off (like can't use poses that have clipping with armor, probably want things like weapons in front, etc. or want them to look like the models are interacting like petting a cat or whatever). It's fun either way

No problem at all. I also noticed the commas within the names of my characters. Can these be removed since the names, I feel, are spaced appropriately enough that commas are not needed?
Other than that, I love it just the way it is. No other alterations are necessary. Thank you.

D'oh. I was just about to post the ones with the horns fixed. BRB <_<
Edit: here ya go. I'm glad you had a change to make actually because I ended up finding a chest piece I liked better. Nothing matches those blasted shoulders so I just caved in and color-edited the chest piece so it doesn't clash so bad lol.

Sookie, just wanted to let you know that it seems that your bandwidth has been exceeded on a lot of these signatures. ):

Yeah I know I'm not sure what's the deal. It says that my bandwidth is supposed to be 'unlimited' but the images saying it is exceeded are coming and going. I deleted a bunch of old stuff so that even if it's not unlimited, there should be enough room now, but I don't know.
If it doesn't remedy itself now that I've deleted things I will re-upload them all somewhere and re-post the links for people. You should have saved these images yourself and hosted them somewhere yourself anyway, so for the people who didn't do that, definitely do that when it comes back up. If you want post a request here and I can link you the image directly in a post here and you can do that now and get it up and working asap.

Ah, forgot to re-upload it myself, I'll do that just now. To anyone that plans to do this as well, I like to use Imgur, it keeps the quality of your images nice and clean for larger files, which Photobucket sometimes fails to do so well.

Yeah I wasn't thinking about it correctly. I may have unlimited storage I don't have unlimited bandwidth, which means everyone needs to save the images and upload them on their own wherever, instead of hotlinking to my album with the links I provided. I'll have to quit providing links and instead spell it out for people how to do this the correct way (I didnt expect that almost all people would just steal the link and run <_<)

You could just upload the images to your Photobucket (I think.) if you wanted but then the links you provide along with the signatures and avatars could be linked from Imgur, that way people can link straight off there seeing as you don't even need an account to upload there.

Thanks for the tip I just put them all on imgur
All previously made signatures & avatars are now available here:

Haha it's funny you mention that because hers was the first one where I actually thought 'oh no, i want this to look okay on black too' and i added a whole nother border to it basically even though I figured no one would ever end up seeing it <_< They are definitely not all black-background-viable though, some are lacking there.
I was practicing with editing model viewer files, thought I would share what I ended up coming up with:
The original:

I love the richness of color in your revision Sookie! There appears to be an extra depth to Deathwing also - almost as though by adding the layers of color you manged to give him some weight to his frame. Compared side-by-side, I feel that the original concept (although very sharp and clean) is rather 2 demensional whereas yours is almost 3 demensional.
