Also you need to fix your fonts size. ;)

Here's the correct fonts.

Rhade, you should use this sheet for your signature, since you're always the one who points out faulty credits. ;)

Guys, the original templates specify the size in Adobe Photoshop CS. This has long been established knowledge. You'll have to play with the font size in Paint to get it to look right. It needs to match what we have on the templates.

Alternatively, you could all stop screwing around with a substandard program like MS Paint and get Photoshop. Along the way you'll learn some useful skills in an industry-standard product... never a bad thing.

I use Windows Paint 7 and using Ariel 10 for title and 8 for credits.
Works fine this way.

Colo: While I won't argue that the font size is based off of PS CS, I would like to mention that most of us (newbies at least) use MS Paint(I wouldn't call it substandard, but that's a matter or oppinion - and habit - for doing simple drawings like SB), and since most of us haven't been here from the begining, we've simply assumed that it's the MS Paint font size that everyone talks about(This is the first time I've heard of it, but I've either cannibalized other drawings' credits, or used the sheet up until now). :)

Word of advise from me: Ignore the font size given and play around until the letter (roughly) match in pixel height and form. That's how did it on my pictures when I began and I had to adjust my font size every time I switched programs or even just the version numbers.

Also, sabotage181: Your cruiser looks lovely and I really think you should try making the badge as well. For me personally, a drawing is only complete when the ship has her coat of arms displayed as well. (But as pointed out, it is optional, you do as you think is right).

Indeed, and even if someone don't know about that long established knowledge then looking and template fonts and in that case fonts in Leahy can assume that there is something not right. I just don't get it, we don't use cloacking devices in templates or other magical powers to hide that fonts.
