seriously if you have to use gimp, but DONT, i have all my adobe programs ripped of the college network heh, 193 for STUDENT copy, and that still isnt cheap imo

You may already have a tool, if you have MS Front Page, it comes with a tool called "Microsoft Image Composer" that also comes with "Microsoft GIF animator" I use it to make me an animated gif file or two.

back on topic, all you need to do is ask us here, and you'll probably get a result. There's quite a few people here that can whip that up in no time.

Ya...That was basically the point of the whole topic.

Soooo... what'd you have in mind...

Yeah, most of us have some measurable amount of skill or the necessary software. I do graphics myself so I have Flash MX and PhotoShop and other important tools for graphic design/editing.

A couple small pictures of Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew that flash by...

Swipe how'd your avatar exceed the 100x100 rule?! I want to use one that size ; ;

Please don't. ^^; Your signature image already takes up enough screen space as it is.

Well, this isn't help for an avatar so much as the signature.

I finally gave in and made myself a signature image for all my jobs. This way, I can keep all the forums I use up-to-date all at once.

But, as I was trying to piece together this image using the mighty Microsoft Paint it occured to me that I'll probably want to update this sometime and it would be a real pain to try to erase those old numbers and replace them with new ones on that brick floor background image.

So...

I decided to use my old friend HTML and made a web page. The web page used the brick floor as a background image and I used a web-based editor called Gif Works to make the backgrounds of these Final Fantasy Tactics icons transparent so it looked like they were standing on the floor.

Then I used a table to layout the images, job titles, and levels. This way, it's very easy to update the numbers or add more jobs to the ones I have (I only have 4 jobs I haven't leveled at all ).

But of course, the idea is to have an image. So, when I got it looking the way I wanted it to, I loaded the page in a web browser and used the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard.

Then I loaded Microsoft Paint again and under the Edit menu, used Paste. This allowed me to edit the screenshot I just took. But I just wanted to make an image out of the levels, so I used the selection tool and then Cut it out. Then I used File and New and Pasted my level image. Then I saved it as a jpg file and there you have it

My only complaint is that MS Paint seems to have made the image a little blurry. I suppose this wouldn't be a problem if you had an nice expensive graphics editor, but sadly, I'm a poor, starving kitty
