Ooooo.... May I have one too? My Hunter's name is FuzzyDolly on Velen. He has Aotona, Gondria, Loque, Skoll, and Arcturis. However many you can work in is great. The 2 things I'd really like is not to have a helm on, and to definitely have Aotona. She is my favorite pet by far.

oh, err, same if possible. Those t10 hunter rhino helms look like they've been having babies with the ugly stick :<

You do some amazing work Kam!

Photoshop can make even that look a cinch. All you have to do is slightly lower their opacity.

And you're welcome for the return responses of your new sigs, Arisia and Death.

In light of the oil-stained wolf, I am trying experiments to give them my own oil-stain effect since WoW Model Viewer won't show it, so that alone may take a bit to work with. Fingers crossed!

Awesome job on the sig. Exactly how I pictured it. Thanks a ton.

No worries Kam, I'm sure it'll look great no matter what =^_^=

Just one problem with the latest signatures, Kamoodle:
* Images used in signatures should be no larger than 800 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. (These guidelines were chosen to try to give members some flexibility in their signatures. I'd really rather not see every post end with an 800x300 image.)
* Signature images shouldn't be any larger than 300KB in file size.
Right now the feature that automatically detects image size and warns you if it's too big does not work. Usually it will notify you if you try to place an image in your signature that's outside Mania's guidelines.

Anyways, just thought I'd point that out. You may have to revise a few that exceed that.

Ooo, I just hope some of my sigs aren't too big. I don't wanna get into trouble for making them huge.

I have actually resized my sigs before I was okay with saving them as complete gif files; some originally were over 500kb.

I recently had my latest scorpion that looked really huge at first when I pasted it on my sig (it used to be 800 by 400) and it outstretched on my monitor, so I lowered its size some and it looked better.

And I wondered how all those could be squeezed into the guidelines... :lol:

Size always was my problem too!

Yeah, it's not a big deal or anything, but you may have to resize a couple. Deathadder's signature, for example, is 590×355 and 497KB in size.

Not your fault, just thought I'd give you a heads up before you made to many and had to resize a bunch. ^^ Again, usually there's a feature on the forum that won't allow people to upload signatures that exceed the limit, but I recall Mania saying it wasn't working.

I don't mind resizing Deathadder's sig; thank goodness for saved states. :D I'll even do the same for Kairii's a little bit if she doesn't mind.

The smaller ones are actually close to 500kb, including mine, and mine is without the perceptual option, which increases the size moderately. The perceptual option prevents the sig from looking too pixelated and having awkward colors. Here I thought png was the answer; nope. It's just for in case I don't want a background behind my characters and it does a better job of that than gif. Skoll doesn't look blue at all without the perceptual; more of a dull silver/white electric, although the Wow Model Viewer does show a silver electric wolf and a white one, too.

Wow..these are all very lovely Kamoodle!! You're very talented. ^^ Is there any chance I could get a moving avatar of King Mosh (the brown devilsaur with green eyes) either him walking or roaring would be perfect! :D Absolutely no rush whatsoever. :D Whenever you get the chance.

I wouldn't mind a Gnome sitting in Mirmiron's Head with Krush while Krush is actually eating Manrik's wife.

Then it would be neat if I could get Skoll driving the Mechano-hog with Kaelthas in the sidecar wearing Ruby Shades.

Could that be done? :)

*only in jest

I just adore the fact that the critters are the size I always imagined they'd be; in game they seem so much smaller after taming. ::grin:: I RP that Sardonyx is Arisia's wolf mount, and if you saw my sig, you'd see it is really possible.

Thanks so much for this!

Really? An unreleased skin perhaps?
That would be cool if they popped up in cata :P

But not as more spirit beasts. I'd like a little variety ><

and if you can but Ashtail the grey fox (my avatar) also walking next to the druid ^^

I don't think I can add an Ashtail in. I think in order to get the WMV to see those new npc's, I have to download a client for Cata Beta or something and then get WMV to read files from that. I'm reading stuff in some random forums from Google trying to clear some things up and I think that's what I read.

Unfortunately, I had to look into a topic where somebody was asking how to get it to work. The first guy that answered his question ended up having a flame war with someone of the same name, and the second guy snaps of how the first guy is a fake, like a clone. It lasted for two pages. >.<

However, your druid cat and Krush is no big deal at all, so that can be done.
