i like your design , im wondering why the rsolution is not great... what are your scanner settings ? or did you draw this in some software like photoshop ?

Well I drew it with a pencil first then traced it with Xara for a transfer. When I exported it to up load hear, I think it was Jpeg 300 dpi. Most of what you post up to the web goes faster with lower Res. But here it looks very poor.

Not familiar with xara, can you darken the the contrast? or just trace over your design in ink, scan & size it in xara?

i scan at 1200 dpi and its saved as a TIFF file , i then load it up with Windowns paint , Crop it and save as a JPEG file .

Maybe that wont help maybe it will .

You could also try converting the image to a vector file and see if that makes the quality any better

http://www.autotracer.org/ this link is to a fee site that converts files to vector format
