Anyway... I thought I'd try my hand at making a sig. I looked at a tut to make tech sigs, and this is how it turned out.![]() ![]() <_< I think I need to add a border, and do some other stuff to the image, but I dunno what. The first one doesn't have the gaussian blur, and the second one does, as the tut recommended blurring and soft light, lightening... etc. Is it me, or is the second one just way too blurry? >_> |

Not bad for a beginner. The 2nd one doesn't look way too blurry, IMO, altough I find that sigs look better when you only blur the background. It gives a sense of depth. The effects are alright. Work on your colors, tough. The red in the face especially bothers me. Try experimenting with Color balances, Gradient maps and Curves or just a layer filled with a color and changing the blending mode. Those little things really help to bring out the colors of a sig. |

Thanks for the comment. Although, first, I'll have to figure out what all the stuff you said means. <_< I still pretty much have no idea what half of the things in gimp do. So, I guess I should lighten the face up a bit? Or should I change the background colour? |

... This is annoying. I've almost finished another sig, and I'm trying to install fonts, as I want to add text to my image. I've set my preferences for the folder to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts, and C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\fonts, yet it won't install. I've pasted the fonts into the said folders, set preferences again, restarted gimp, and it still doesn't show up. : / So, any suggestions? Oh and if you're interested, here's the image...

hmm, did you unzip the font? >_> Also, for me the folder was C:/gimp 2.2/fonts by the way, that sig looks pretty good. |

yeah, I already unzipped <_< I also added another path for the font thing, C:\Documents and Settings\USER\.gimp-2.2\fonts. I have to check them in preferences right? But it still doesn't work for whatever reason. Anyway, thanks for the comment. ;>_> |

*extremely late reply* Anyway, both. I read the first few steps, then I was like "screw that" and just did whatever >_> I never seem to be able to follow procedures properly, although, it looked alright, but I never really finished it. <_< Well, now for some random pictures of my stuff. Some of it's old, and there's two that are fairly recent. Since I'm never bothered to make sigs/avatar/etc, I usually make random backgrounds because they're easy to make, take very little time, and look sorta good, or at least I think so. You probably shouldn't ask me what they are, because I have no idea. random bubble thing while messing around with brushes (months and months ago) ![]() The next one I just randomly decided to make a wallpaper, it's pretty plain. I was just messing with settings and everything. But then that's what I do for everything >_> two different colours, second one has a slightly different background, and effect, it's very subtle <_< (it's big so I'll link it instead) I made this yesterday http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5954/randorq5.jpg http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/2320/rando2mq7.jpg anyway, lastly, another one, I was bored and made it in the middle of the night (2 days ago if I remember >_>) ![]() Maybe I'll start making stuff again... hmm <_< |

I'm too lazy to search for one. I'll just go and leave you people with the suspense while I go to Gamestop and try my luck in the $9.99 bin. Wish me luck

Nah, I don't have a DA account. I probably won't get one either. >_> Anyway, thanks for your comments Feenix, you might want to google tutorials, since I forgot the sites >_>, and also, I don't use PS. Although, if you just want to make random/abstract backgrounds, all you really need to know is basic effects, working with layers, and then messing around with brushes. Actually, you don't have to know that stuff, just experiment with it. It's really easy, and doesn't take very much time. I'd say it's much easy than sig/avatar/etc. at least. <_< And what's there to feel deceived about, raak? You probably won't see me post another pic, for around a few months, maybe. I'm lazy like that. >_> |

Mostly the effects. They look kinda random. Make them go kinda in the same direction, but not so much it looks uniform. If that made any sense >_> |
