I decided to fiddle a bit with gradients during a round of the graphics game in the chat last night, and somebody suggested that I post the result here, so here goes:
And matching signature/avatar:
The words are from "Praise You in This Storm" by Casting Crowns. Comments and criticism welcome.

Avatar and signature are my own - will make Narnia graphics on request.

Wow I'd really love to use that signature one day! #2 is my favorite wallpaper, reason being is the gap in the first one with the text and the picture. Very lovely!

Awesome Hero!! I believe I saw the wallpaper (which is so lovely, by the way) in the chat, but not the sig and avatar! Those are beautiful too! Your coloring is really nice. I find it hard to color that scene, but you did a GREAT job.

These are beautiful, Rural! Very lovely. I think the layout and colors on the wallpaper work well with this picture and I love the words you chose to go with the wallpaper...they convey a lot of meaning to the picture. I also really love this picture in general, so I'm happy to see it used in a wallpaper!
