That's a really great piece of work @Forlorn. It looks like you spent a lot of time on it and it shows. I like the background and the colours you used they look really good.

Thanks. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I really did spend a lot of time on it. I tried to find a render of Sheele and Tatsumi smiling, but then again they did have a grim job to do as assassins in Akame ga Kill, so in the end I was ok with using the renders shown. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I wanted to find a gif of the Shears of Creation's Trump Card, Extase, but it was difficult to find one that didn't have that psycho from Esdeath's Jaegers. who killed Sheele using her organic Imperial Arms which she named "Koro." I really hate saying the character's name who killed Sheele, but Seryu would've been in any gif of Sheele using the Shears of Creation's trump card: Extase. I didn't want anything showing Seryu in a gif I'd be using in an avatar. So, I did find a gif that shows Sheele's mastery of her Imperial Arms just before she severs Seryu's arms. lol I found that to be much better for several reasons. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ So, in the end I loved how both the avy and sig gif looked and was pretty excited to show the results of the Sheele and Tatsumi project. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

Very cool my guy, avatar looks top tier. 

That's what friends are for :V

I've never actually heard someone call one of the combined gifs into one I've made top tier before. Thank you very much, Lillie. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ Though I still wish there was a moment in the anime when Sheele used Extase's trump card other than the last episode she would be on in (outside of flashbacks of her in later episodes). Seriously though I think Seryu is one of those employed by Esdeath who I hate the most. She was a frickin lunatic she was practically the epitome of psychotic. >< >< >< >< ;.;

I love AF because of the good people I've befriended on here, including you of course. Despite the chaos happening with my perception and paranoia at home, I can always confide in you and the others. For that, I thank every friend who's willing to have the patience to put up with me and my episodes of instability. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

Np ~ Like the lil sis said, that's what friends are for. I've been attacked for making GFX tons of times, so it's nothing new to me. 

& I luv the new siggy/icon very nice, I like the renders used in the sigs

< 3 I don't think I could ever get used to things like that though. It sucks for anyone that has to get used to things like that though.

Thank you, Sereyuki~~~~~ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ < 3

@Sarada, @Sakura, @Sasuke, @Zeref

Thank you all for coming to my defense. < 3 I apologize for this being late. I hope it didn't come across as ungrateful. I'm not used to friends caring as much as you do because of I don't remember having friends that would do that so fast. I'm sorry about being late for thanking you all. >< >< >< ;.; ;.;

I never got a chance to respond to this yet, but you are welcome. I will absolutely never tolerate that level of behaviour towards anyone I consider a friend. When someone is creating something that brings them joy and isn't physically hurting anyone, people should leave them to their business and not try to dictate how someone else enjoys their hobby.

Brilliant new project btw, looks great.

I went ahead and finished my Sheele and Tatsumi project. Here's the avatar and Sig gif. I still need to take a few days' break though, but I really wanted to finish that project. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

Great project I really like both the signature and the avatar.

For reasons you and the other friends I've made that know you may already know, I couldn't reply as prudently as I usually do for reasons beyond my control. I apologize for that. Thank you 2 for saying such about my Tatsumi/Sheele project. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

I've been thinking a lot about the anime Chrono Crusade and how much I resonate with Joshua. I can't heal people like he could of course,  but in a lot of other ways there are parallels that cause me to place myself into his position.  I know I'm supposed to be kicking back, but I seriously felt a little too weird without having any images for my username. lol

Thank you, li'l sis', ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ~ < 3 It's still hard to think anyone would actually do that though, even as a kid. It's messed up and an overall crappy thing to do.

That's a good thing though... right...? Reading that back I'm not sure if that's necessarily good thing or not. ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; I felt like experimenting with a Yami Marik gif as an avatar of him summoning The Winged Dragon of Ra in the anime. I may not like my darkness, but I can't get rid of it either. I'm not celebrating it, just acknowledging that it's there. I put together the sig using a phoenix AI art piece in the BG.

@Forlorn I like your new sig it's really impressive. The phoenix in the background matches the colours of font you've used very well and the expressions on the faces of the characters are great and give the whole piece a feeling of silent power.

Thank you very muchly. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I now there's a lot of mixed reception when it comes to AI generated art, but like @Zeref said at one point, it's still cool to look at, so I figured I'd roll the dice and try it in a sig. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ There's another one that I'm including in this post, but the smoke or steam included in it as opposed to the one I used as a BG in the Sig just looks off and I couldn't even really tell what it was if it wasn't included in the search results for "phoenix" on that site I use for my backgrounds in sigs. The bottom one is the one I used, the top one is the weird one.

I agree with you, the top one looks weird. The water or whatever it is above the wings looks very wrong and the wings aren't as good, the head looks much better on the lower one.

Right? It sucks when an AI image generator doesn't get it quite right, but I'm happy with the one I picked as the BG. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

Some AI art is okay to me it depends on the quality. What I am sick of is every search online I do now for ANY anime character, or almost anything at all for that matter, it usually turns up crappy AI generated images and I can't find anything useful. It would be nice if there was a way to filter AI images in or out depending on if you want to find them or not.

Same honestly ~ Istg everything is AI anymore even when I'm trying to do something like search for PNG's or renders x.x There was a trick to filtering out some AI images that @Zeref showed me at some point when I was getting super annoyed but I don't remember exactly what it was now lol

I think there will be an option in search engines (or at least some of them) to filter out AI generated images or include them in what someone searches for. I never would've thought animated gifs would have a filter option either, but I've noticed the two search engines I use both have an option like that for them. There's always hope, right? I mean, without that I think life would be pretty depressing. >< >< >< >< ;.; ;.; Sorry, didn't mean to type random at the end. lol ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^;

Well, crap. Now I want to know what the trick is. Damn't, I wish I didn't know there's a trick to filter them out. lol >< >< >< ;.; ;.; ;.; 

Honestly though I wasn't even trying to look up AI generated art, but I liked how the Phoenix looked in the pic I chose as the BG for the Sig, so I thought I'd go ahead and flip the coin to see if it would be a good idea or a bad one. ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^; ^^;
