i decided i was gonna try some pixel art... i did it in paint, and it's pretty crappy. i'll probably try gimp next time... and maybe go slower... eh. i may make it my avi, but idk if it'll look right since i made it oblong instead of square...

@zezhyrule nice! I much prefer this font to the wierd slanty letters, and cool avatar! I might make some trippy background someday too. @nintendogamerftw well, i suggest making a dock of colors, brushes, and maybe layers. You can do that by going to the window thing and clicking dockable docks and then clicking colors, then clicking the litle arrow on the brushes tab and click add tab and add brushes. Then go to brushes and make a custom brush 100% hardened and 100% spikes and then making the radius .5. now you should make a whatever size you want (16x16, 32x32, or 60x60 if you want a sprite or avatar size thing) then use your 1 pixel square brush and begin pixelarting! I am assuming you just want ti for pixel art, thats all i use it for. And I use mac, but if its on PC im sure it cant be that different. If it is i think pixelman has a mac...
My head hurts... Just kidding, I finally managed to figure it out. I may just not post up the copy of your new banner I made.
pix, zez, StarBoy, nintendogamer, supermega, any of you have any suggestions for me? my dragon... kinda sucks. i've never been artistically gifted, but i would like this one to be better... recommendations on how i can do that?

@bro2dragons Microsoft paint or gimp? Microsoft paint: draw a non pixel outline and then pixelize it. This helped when I was drawing a dragon at one point, scethed it with black and then put gray pixels along the line, and then got rid of the black, and then colored the gray pixels black. Gimp: If you arent all ready, put the pixel count very low and make a 1 pixel brush. This makes certain that their will be no other pixels out of place. Unfourtunatly, if you do this the outlining thing wont work as well, but it helped for me. The dragon in general: maybe make his neck a little less thin, and the wings not directly coming out of his side. Liek you shouldnt see where the wings are conecting, just have a the wings be visible on the corners of his body.
I love looking at all these extraordinary masterpieces. I really want to make my own pixel art, but I don't think I the artistic skill or patiance to do so. But I'll try it eventually.
@sonic_brawler: You have to upload the image to imageshack or somewhere if you want to post it. Trying to link to your hard drive like that doesn't work.
Thanks, supermega. I'll work on it at some point today. also, how do i change it to make it a square, but keep it proportional? or can i even do that in paint?

@sonic_brawler Nice avi! @bro2dragons for microsoft paint, to make squares go to the brush, then click the square. For gimp, open a brushes dock, click edit brush, and make a square one (100% hardness). And make sure you use pencil on gimp. Brush makes all these lines...

Anyways, the avatar looks good.
Oh, I see. I was thinking that was the problem. Oh, and thanks!
This took me longer than I expected, but oh well. I think it turned out well. :3

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
