Lightning Strikes Twice

This is meant for a signature picture in a message forum. I don't like big loud pics and try to think of dial up users when a page loads. This one does not take up much room and I feel more comfortable practicing with such a small space. The background image is a snapshot of an electrical arc that was made semi transparent on a gradient background. I placed the small mech in and then added several layers of a semi transparent gradient over the whole image to give a seamless texture. The text was added last from 1001freefonts.com called Bachelor Pad. Everything was done in grayscale.
