Lol, no I don't know the answer.

I realized I would've gotten banned if I let it stay, so I deleted it.

Also, it's not a cow, it's Peppy Hare!

[Shaelynn Snow]

Ah! Nice tutorials. It sounds so easy!

[Cthulhu Ftagn]

Hey Phoebs, your request has a guild tabard with an eye on it, but your guild tabard on the armory looks different... which one did you want?

Also, I noticed your husbands' spec and he has an axe in his main and dagger in off-hand... do you want me to put the BIS dagger instead of dual-wielding the axes?

Yeah, the tabard with the eye. The GM hasn't changed it on the Ali side yet that's why it's different in the armory.

And Yeah, the dagger will be good.

[Cthulhu Ftagn]

Workin' on them now.

[listo95]

Cthulhu this is my recent one using the tutorial and the crticism from the last one. All i really had trouble with was getting a shadow for the Elekk.

yay! :d

Getting better... I'll just give you some tips.

1. Your WoTLK logo needs to be moved up about 5 pixels so that it lines up with the header
2. Your Faction and Class icons are WAY too big
3. Your Arcane circle could be bigger

You did a good job on your toon, and the Elekk looks like it belongs in there, just brighten your Background with Brightness/Contrast.

Ok. I understand but the last question I'll have for awhile is how can I tell where something can belong?
