Hehe, I got GIMP literally about 5 minutes ago, and I don't like reading lots of instructions, so I kind of made up what I was doing, and made the most simple, boring sig in the world, but I decided I need something to post here lol:

Yeah, I spent ages searching for the right font, and colour, but decided I was too tired to look any more, and settled with that lol.

What do you think of this one? It's just a rough version- I still gotta neaten the edges.

Yeah, she got good at this quicker than I thought humanely possible. {*Pushes away rude and mean thought*}

But seriously, just by looking at her first sig, I would've thought she'd had GIMP for, say, about 5 or 6 months.
