So i made a new template for the site. Whoopee. Yes i know I'm probably getting on your nerves with all these graphics I'm posting up , but i assure you this one needs your help. I was trying to make a very welcoming template, something that is easy on the eyes and the contrast isn't bad. Unfortunately it's not as nice as i wanted, but it's pretty close enough. I really need you guys to tell me what you think about EVERYTHING!
First i will show you the background image i made.

(note i Had to give you just the link because, well quite frankly the picture would take up the ENTIRE board.) It's basically a dark gray background, then i added a cool flame effect. After i got the really cool effect i added a picture of Aang entering the avatar state, the same picture in our banner, and messed around with it a little bit until it all just sunk in. So there you have the background image.
Next i made the umm... i forgot what its called, which is why i named it avaddicts thingy Aaaannnyyywaayyy so i got a gray background, the i got pictures of Aang, Sokka, Zuko, Azula, Toph, Ozai, Roku and thats about it... uh-oh i think i forgot Iroh... oh well you can hardly notice. So anyway i did all that then added scan lines. And this was the final result.

So after that i tried a bit of color matching and then i ended up with this.

(note i used my old sims 2 forums for this, so not everything is changed )
My original plan was to make it more glossy and 3D, but that would make overly futurist feel. So i ended up with this, not sure what else i can do to make it better, but hopefully you guys can assist me with that. Please, please, please, give feedback, if you like it, if you don't, if it hurts your eyes and all those other things. I will do my best to make it to everyones liking, and Rai's, because quite frankly it doesn't matter what we say, Rai chooses what goes and stays but hey, who said we couldn't try to make it so everyone can help me make it better. Anyway I'm really thankful for you reading this, and i would really appreciate some feedback... thanks!!!
