    When making the pictures, I've just added the effects, looked at it and been contempt, but now that you mention it, I should try playing around with it a bit more. Thank you

    And, do you have any other good tips for a newbie profile designer? And what do you do to get the frames around profile objects perfected etc? Trial and error, or is there some tool / technique unknown to me? :P

      Take a SS of your profile and match it up with that.

                  Beautiful on the top, very nice. I have to really ask, is the bottom suppose to be black for these profile things?

                    I do it most of the time, but the problem about it is, if you are making a "pack" with BG and avatar, you have to make an avatar exactly the size of the actual, or else the whole BG will misfit anyway.

                      Well because of the wolf it would look funky to have the whole bottom a different color

                          no, but

                          1. putting images down there is nonsense because no one will see them

                          2. putting patterns or designs down there is better, but it can make the file size for a bg HUGE, meaning it won't fit the website's criteria of "small ass file size" (725kb or some bullshit.)

                          aaaaaaaaaand

                          3. black is easy, that's why people do it, it's easy to rip something/brush it, mask it and then blend it with black...

                          BAM insta-bg

                            And pretty much what he said. I even had to take some things off cause it was too large

                              Depends what you use to make it-- in Fireworks when I make background with vector objects like rectangles and that, and manually create textures that I would normally get from an actual image, the file size is soooo small in comparison. Pixels are fat fools!!!
