    Hey guys,
    I just wanted to post and say hi to everyone! You would not believe everything that me and the Windstone staff have been through in order to get me here! (Lesson learned: Don’t put strange little symbols in your username!) I’ve been reading on the forums for a while and was about to attempt my first PYO. I have 3 to paint for myself and would eventually like to paint and then sell them on Ebay. I am already a seller on ebay and looooovvveee my windstone collection (peacock) so it just made sense to put them together. (Ebay and Windstone, that is) I still need 3 dragons to complete my peacock collection, unless I have forgotten some. That definitely could happen. Anyway, I started painting yesterday on something besides the PYO’s, to practice. I love the golden interference paints. The only things that I still need are the antiquing medium and the topcoat. Does anyone have any recommendations for the brands to get? Also, does anyone have any helpful tips for airbrushing? Also, one more very goofy question. I uploaded an avatar and just wondered how everyone has the larger pictures under their actual post. I’m sure it is something to do with your signature, but how do you do it? Thanks for any and all help. 😀

      Welcome! I love your avatar! Yes, you post the IMG tag in your signature block under your profile. Others are more computer savvy and may be able to explain more in depth if you need. I cant wait to see your PYOs!

      I can only help you with the big signature picture – by pointing you to whippetluv, who made most of them in Photoshop. Maybe she’ll make you one too?

            Welcome! Love the avatar!

            While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

            Hey Everybody,
            I filled out some info in the community post the dragonessjade put there for me. Thanks for all of the PYO info. I have kind of looked through some of it and I’m sure I will be needing it over the next several weeks. 😉 I have still been trying to figure out the signature thing. It says in the faq’s that there is supposed to be a box that says add signature when you post, but there’s not. (Unless I am just totally missing it) I’ve tried checking and unchecking the box in my profile that says show signature and I don’t see a box eithier way that says add signature. It also says that you set up your signature in my profile, but the only thing that I have the option of setting up is the avatar. I already have my avatar set up, I’m just wanting the bigger pic that everyone has below whatever they write. Am I just totally missing something? I know this is kind of silly, but I like to have all of the pretty little things I can have, so it will drive me nuts until I get it figured out. 😕

              It is in your profile at the bottom…Its below ‘interests’, ‘occupation’..etc… You post an IMG in there. Hope that helps. 🙂

              It won’t let me post a picture until I have 5 posts, but I will reply with a picture of my desktop. I don’t have an option of any picture except for the avatar. Then again, it may not let you do that until you have 5 posts eithier? ❓

              #547923

              That was it, after my 5th post it was there in my profile. So, I wasn’t nuts! I feel better. I thought I was missing something that was right in front of my face?

              #547924

              YAY, can’t wait to see your signature. 😀
