I have a request, but I like to word it as a challenge to make it more appealing for you artists.
It nearly requires you to use digital mediums unless you are very skilled with traditional art.
Thing is that I really want a better Fire Fox skin, known as personas. The image itself will be very small and doesn't have room for much detail so the work put into it will be all up to the artist. All I need is the image itself, installing it as a persona is easy and I can do this myself on my account and make it hidden and private.

This is their official tutorial. It will let you know the dimensions required. But note that a persona skin file that looks like this:

Will turn out like this on my screen:

(both photo and persona made by me)
I am using the new Fire Fox 4 beta, which means I do NOT have a "footer", a bar at the bottom of the browser. Which means this can be a solid colour if you don't feel like anything else because I won't see it. The challenge here would be to have such a narrow canvas and make it decorative without the add-ons and URL bar and tabs being in the way.
As to the motive, I'd naturally like something that reflects Puncia in some way. It can be only snow leopard print in the right colour theme, it can be a pair of eyes and a shadow, it can be pixelated or shiny 3D, I even think it can be animated with .gif files but I am not sure. It's all up to the artist.
And like I said, I only need the image. I can make the skin myself and save you the work.
I think that should be the information needed...
And as to payment, I don't think one tiny narrow image could end up costing a fortune. I'd gladly draw a signature pet or something of the like for you in return, like a trade. If you name a currency price, then I may have to think about it.
Thanks a ton in advance! 0:) ^_^

Nothing fancy... I admit I didn't spend much time on it, but it's free and I just wanted to play around with making a Firefox skin. :P
Smaller than the recommended dimensions to make it look better; still should work just fine.

the weekend after this coming, i will try to have something for you to check out and see if you like it, by the way you do have the footer if you right click the toolbar and turn on the "add-on bar" (i have and use FF4 as well)

Oh but I prefer it without the footer, thanks.
Zephyr: Thank you! I shall upload it soon, it looks very clean and purty.
Edit: see file.
However, I'd love to see anyone's go at it. Personas are real fun to make and I promise I'll try them all on. :D
