All I ask is for bloodsplatter behind the animation window. Very classy though.

Gotta love that leg-chopping action - try a darker tone of red for the blood & perhaps less thick splattering

Better and try adding a 1 pixel black border around the whole thing for boldness. Trust me on this one.

1423.66 KB definitely not 56k friendly...

if you cut down on color and frames, you can get a more user friendly file size.

It does look pretty, though.

It does look pretty, though. Heh...well the way ive seen it.

Everything you put up online is so people can see it.

The more the requirements there is to see something (in this case, a high speed connection), the less people there are that can see what you put up.

So creating 1 mb animated signatures narrows the amount of people who can appreciate it.

This is purely from a practical and economic point of view of course.

Even flash presentations and webads try to compress their stuff as much as possible or stream it so that you dont see it loading.

Now...from an aesthetic point of view, its kinda too much on center and the text on the right side does nothing for me.

I loved that movie. If there wasn't violence on the screen there was a mutant or a pair of breasts... fortunately usually not both.

Great job though ^^ what do you mean too large to be used on most foums? you dont need to attach or manually upload it, it is already hosted on my Imageshack for everyone to use, just need to use the [img] code.

@ Leeky:

what do you mean steal? i made it so everyone who likes the movie can use it.

Just use [IMG ]http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/459/300iiixd2.gif[/IMG]

but remove the space from the first [IMG ] to make it just [IMG]

Anyone browsing a thread with that signature would need to download a 1 megabit file basically and that would significantly slow down most people's PCs.

Text is very small. Unless you get into a serious essay, most forum posts are less than 20k. So loading a 1 mb signature for a 20k text post doesnt make much sense ;P

The reason avatars and sigs are usually limited in size (pixel and filewise) is because it slows down browsing and can crash or freeze slower PCs.

Asthetics will not beat user friendliness is very important if you want your product to be widely used.

So if you want your sig to be usable, it really needs to get cutdown in filesize.
