All right, you're pretty well asking for a critic, so here goes. Take no offence, you asked for it.
Don't use it. Now, allow me to take this from the top.
Sig limits on MEI are 150 x 500. Recomanded is 100 x 380-420. It's too tall, and looks just wrong for a signature in shape. Sigs should be about the same width instead of a square.
The picture's all fine, but the way you stuck the text in there is not very good. It's just jammed in there, and a poorly matched font. Also, the picture's a bit overwhelming on its own.
MS Paint is not a program for making signatures!!
Now. If you cropped the image to about 100 by 400, put the text in a lot neater and with a nicer font than Ariel (which suckx for sigs) and perhaps worked in a picture of Anakin faded in on the side...
Yeah, you can tell I do this far too often. But, honestly, if you used that in your signature it would break our guidelines. I dislike sigs too tall, or too wide. They stretch the board on some resolutions... the size I've set is perfect. *grins*
Also, leave out the "admin leader" thing, that's my job. Go and make your own squadron! *grins*

Nice, Tiana...*note to self: use new word*
Cluge, I do, of course, completely and totally agree with our fearless leader. I also volunteer to work on le picture if you'd like...

I think it needs work, but the background picture is good. Like mentioned, try to make a rectangle shaped sig not taller than 100px to make it appealing and less size stretching. Now I don't think you'll stretch the board unless the sig is more than 700 pixels wide, because everyone's computer made in the past decade has the capability to use 1024 by 768 resolution. If you don't know how to change it PM me. Anyway, you probably shouldn't make it more than 420 or they will stand out compared to other sigs, making it seem gaudy(sp?). PS. Tiana is too obsessed with Anakin.*snicker*

Huh? Jandalf and I conspired for signature limits. It's an official admin set limit. But, to be honest, I would've rathered that the height limit was 130... but some people complained that they wanted two pics sometimes, or something... I really don't get what you mean.
...no more than 430. Mine's 425, and you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference. JANDALF'S, however, being 450, stands out a lot... *mutters*
*glares* And, yes, I like Anakin. And Lukie. I love Lukie. Heh heh heh. Do you have a PROBLEM with that, or do I have to change my name to Tiana (or Eowyn) Skywalker again? Or perhaps I should go obsessive over you instead??

*runs in circles* Ahhh! Too many squadrons!!! *dies* Anyway, the idea was nice, but, as others have already stated, it needs a little work...  I did that on paint.... *shrugs* Minus the tinting and stuff like that -- but that's three separate pictures... and it worked pretty well. |

Cool, Dun! Tiana, I was expressing amusement at your creation of the word "recomanded". 'Tis a good word...I like it!  |

Yes, but it's nearly impossible to read, Dun... I can't even make out your name... I know it CAN be used, IF YOU'RE VERY CREATIVE for signatures, but it's not meant for image editing. Ever.
But, Joan, recommanded is a real word! I didn't make it up!!! I don't think. I mean, I use it all the time in reality...

*snicker* I know, but that's for the best. Not being able to read it. And the layering was weird, but I couldn't fix it without having to do it all the way over again, which I may anyway. Fix the layers in paint, because I can't cut pictures apart in my program, switch and do the text in a different program, then fix the tinting on the whole thing in another different program... ech.

*g* Tiana's right about the signature...*squints at screen*
"Recommanded" would mean "commanded again". "Recommended" would mean "suggested again". What cracked me up was the combination...so very adminly, to suggest that we follow the commandments...again...*g*

Don't I know that. *sigh* Hopefully by Christmas. If not, I'll be doomed forever. And the hot one's Riku... *winks*

Ah... okay. Thanks.
*folds arms* I'd NEVER do anything like burn a program. Well. I wouldn't download programs anyway. MP3s are one thing... but I do have morals when it comes to getting stuff without paying for them. I'll buy any CDs for songs I've downloaded and liked, for example... we own all the LotR ones now, and I'm working on getting all the Stars Wars and PotC one...
WhatIdidwithArcsoftwasn'tsomethingIdoregularily. And we DID get it legally... justsomeoneelsedidn'texactly... *sheepish grin*

I've got quite a few burned CDs from a friend, but she practically lived at my house for a while, so I don't think that counted. But I've never downloaded anything... it would kill my computer. Definitely not worth it.

It's my parents who do the downloading... dad mainly. Heh. Other than what they download, I've never done anything myself, beyond burn a couple CDs for personal purposes... and one other time, but THAT DIDN'T COUNT. Well... it DID, but... *sheepish grin*

Paint can be used for editing and making cool stuff, IF you know how to use it.
Sometimes not being able to read text is a look people try to go for. Personally I think in certain situations it can be appealing, others it's just annoying.
I used to used Paint for everything, and I was good at it too. I knew more than I do with Photoshop now, but I'm still learning. I've only had photoshop since February anyways.
As for suggestions to Cluge's siggy, I personally like longer sigs, rather than tall ones. It fits the space better. An unusal text would probably look better too. I like wavy texts...*wanders off*
Be sure to let us see the finished product if you do decide to change it!
