Nice sig, Petman. I think it would have been better if you'd cut Midna and Zant out

Anyway, here's a new Background I made for my Computer.

Ahh yes. Here is my first creation in a while. I created this as a request for Kazumi and I am quite please with the turnout. Comments and (constructive) criticism please!

Holy crap that image is huge. You might want to resize it.

 

[Dabombster]

New signature I made the other night. I like it for some reason, even if it isn't anything special.

 

[Master Link]

Bomby I really love that signature. I can't put my finger on why I really like it but it probably has to do with the simplicity of it while it is also original. Keep doing great stuff!

 

[Sword of Faith]

Out of pure boredom, I made this sig:

I also made these:

C & C, please.

 

[Halo siera 117]

You'll want to download a good program first, like GIMP. GIMP is free. You can download it at their website: http://www.gimp.org/

After that you'll probably just wanna fool around with it for a bit, and get used to the program. Once you know some basics, google around for some GIMP signature tutorials.


Anyways, heres my current sig I made:

And an avatar I use on alot of forums. Its too big for this forum, so I have it in my sig cuz I like it:

So yeah, comments please. Even though they amateurish. I rendered some of the images myself, while others came in a pre-rendered Zelda GIMP brush set.

I have always been pretty simplistic when it comes to desigining my signatures. The first forum I joined was Mortal Kombat Online, and the majority of my signatures over there consisted of pictures I would make out of sprites, backgrounds, etc, from the games. I like doing things like this, rather than making a big fancy signature. But I have made a few, especially here, that are all nice looking. Problem is, I don't use GIMP, because I prefer Photoshop, but I'm not shelling out near 1000 bucks for PS. So whenever I get the chance to download a trial, I make a few things.

Here are a few of the signatures that I used for a while, roughly in order.

 

[Volvox]

I pretty much like 'em all.

Especially the second and the last.

I really like the second one.

 

[Sword of Faith]

One of my better sigs if I do say so myself, although the render cut-out was bad.

 

[Smitie]

I decided to make some new 'art'. After a lot of work I created this:

After I got some critisism about the lack of shading, I decided to try it out. I hope it worked out well, because I absolutly hate working on shading.

Feel free to give some comments

 

[Volvox]

Nice sig SoF. Like you said the render isnt too good, but other than that its great.

And Smitie ... thats absolutely amazing. Really. I could never even come near doing something as good as that. Good job.

Feel free to give some comments

Great stuff! Yeah, I was never too fond of shading myself, but when done and done well, it really does help give an extra dimension to pieces of art, especially comic / animation styled pieces. I think you did a great job here on it, it's not overpowering, and it's not too subtle, so it works well. It really helps make it seem as if you're looking upwards and it's flying overhead of you.

Keep at shading when you can though, and after awhile, you'll get used to it, and even welcome it! I find in my own work, it can turn a "meh..." piece to a "nice!" piece.

Here's to my new Avatar!

C &C please!
