Thing is, it's kinda hard to crop out as it is. I want to keep some of her armor in the image, but to do that with an image that thin I'd have to cut out the top of her head.

I know, I'm so picky, heh.

They're good representations of two sides of Melissia - There's the sly and mischievous side, and there's the more pure and innocent side.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

that's part of the reason why I chose it. I'm kinda trying to be more polite on these forums, helps avoid me being banned and honestly just makes the place nicer to post in.

Still haven't decided on one, waiting for a few people to finish...

I have a graphics tablet, but I have to agree - using a mouse is a pain in the bum. However, try using a laptop touch pad like I did

Well you did a wonderful job... I think I might very well have to use yours! Though I'm still interested in anything anyone else has to give me.

Also that really does the color scheme that I use for my sisters justice. That dark, shiny, navy blue and bright gold is really what I wish I could paint on my miniatures.

I like Bakerofish's, but I only have one nitpick. How about adding the little symbol to the right cheek like what was on the other avatar? You know, the Fleur De Lis that is commonly used by the sisters of battle? I thought it looked great on the old avatar.

The small tattoo could tarnish what he did with the face though. So don't take my word for it.

Oddly enough, what I like most about it is what he did with the armor... the face is wonderful, but damn, does that armor look just... goddamned RIGHT for the color scheme in my head.
