The only thing I would really recommend taking another look at would be your font of choice and the effects you've done to the text (bevels and drop shadows). I think you're heading in the right direction, but the text is currently hard / very hard to read. The font is illegible at small sizes, and I can't even imagine what the first bit of the lower portion of text is meant to say. :-/ Your name is readable, but the angle of the drop shadow means that your bevel highlights blend in with the light-colored background. Maybe use your drop shadow without any vertical or horizontal offset (a black glow around the text), or drop it to the other side of the text...this will help bring back the line that separates text from background. BEAUTIFUL background, BTW! Your character is nice and clean and sharp...she looks really great. The only thing better might be a close-up of her face along with the full-body shot, so we can see her face in detail and get a better idea of who Julez really is. (For my headshots / busts, I usually try to fit in the portion of the character between the center bottom point of the collarbone to the top of the head. Sometimes the top can be chopped off a little; it depends on the character and the size of the sig. If they have nice hair, I try to keep from decapitating them, LOL.) All this is JMO...take it or leave it. ;-D Very nice work!
[size="small"]Laladini, mah suggestion would be to add an enlarged head shot to the background, kinda mirroring the moon but on the left side, not sure how you would do it but make the head 'faded' like a ghost (ah'm sure someone like Seagoat would be able to better explain, ah hope ) leave the body where it is/the way it is, but change the font of the name (as Seagoat said, it's very difficult to read and the text below is nigh impossible)[/size]
Well thanks Seagoat for the positive feedback. I plan to add a border when I upsize it 500x150 might play a litte with effects and so on at the same time. Unfortunately for you all you won't get to see his lovely face . I always tried to go for the Image of the Cavalier Knight in a roleplaying sense for my Paladin so he's like the dentist in the (Australian) Oral-B tv ads and you can't see his face.
Rinya, it's not showing up because it's too big. The limit for these forums is 500px by 150px, and the file size limit, I believe, is 150KB.
