Hi, I am Flamesterart, and this is my intro thread, ( though it is not my first thread on this site, that would be super mario band stage, which, due to an argument between other members on it, was moved to the groan zone. ) I am fourteen, and I am working my way towards being an artist. I made my own signature, which is just below this text block.

Since we're outside of the Groan Zone, allow me to give you some legitimate help:

1. Your signature is literally edits and pictures pasted onto a canvas, and then saved as a jpeg. This is your first problem. Always save sprites or any other type of art as a png. Saving something as a jpeg and then trying to resave it as a png WILL NOT WORK. If you save it as a jpeg, it's ruined.

2. Stop hosting things on Icanhascheezburger. Use http://www.photobucket.com for hosting your images.

1. i saved my signature as a png, i dont know why it says it is a jpg,
2. i'm working on that, but my laptop is having internet problems and recently would not load photobucket, it said 404 page not found, so i did what i could.

then www.imageshack.us or www.tinypic.com

It seems the image uploading serive that you're using is auto-converting the file type to .jpg AND adding a watermark; which is unbearably shitty.

[FLAMESTERART]

plus, i made the large images of the characters look that way by saving those individually as png, and then making copies in different filetypes.

[Vipershark]

It does that because icanhascheezeburger is retarded and converts pictures to jpeg. It's not supposed to be used as an image hoster.

If photobucket won't work, rehost it on http://www.tinypic.com

thank you for the image shack link, it is loading the website, i think it will work, i will redo the uploading of my signature and oother photos using it. thanks.

Also, read this. Multiple times. Memorize it.

If you really want to start posting here, remember that people WILL be mean to you. And no, they won't get in trouble for doing it.

you know what

just make a new signature
totally get rid of that one and start over

that will help you more than anything else

[FLAMESTERART]

i'm working on a new one, i just made this one, so it may be a week or two before i can get to replacing it. thanks for the advice vipershark. and about the rules, ive read them several times already.

How does it take you a whole 2 weeks to change that...

Also read this while you are at it:

Very helpful stuff.

[Vipershark]

that thread is closed so I might as well post it here
lunyka, you might want to reword some of those

at least half of the sentences on that post start with the word now

[Maxpphire]

I know. I'll get around to that eventually. At least the important basic info is in there for now.

[FLAMESTERART]

the pipe took me so long to make because i had to make it pixel by pixel, and the signature will take awhile to remake because i still have no idea what i am gonna do for it. ( I am going to make a whole new one. ) plus i have to make sure that idea isnt overly big, like when i changed image hosting sites about half an hour ago, my sig doubled in size and i had to shrink it.
