Challenge!:-I'll combine with you,DraGoonMS a.k.a Challenge!.That is only if you want it.I don't have Photoshop,but I use a wide selection of paint.net,Picnik and Pixlr.I should be using GIMP later.

Not to be rude, but I was looking for someone who has a more developed (with examples and stuff) shop.

then i would like to be a co partner if u want.[donb't take it negatively whatzzer]

I didn't see your post, xlr8.

Yeah, sure! That would be great.
Lets talk about it on Facebook or by PMs.
This sig is bad so I don't expect any good comments I ran out of Photoshop so my dads friend is giving me his copy for free and I am going to use it

Credit to Frutology on deviantart for the background renders

BTW have you guy heard of Google chrome sketchpad try it!
Medz, a stupid question: How do you blend? I use GIMP, so not sure if you can help me. Whenever I use the blend tool the entire render becomes a color I have selected on the palette.

Way too cluttered and monotone. I can not focus with that background. No lighting, overly contrasted, and the text is bad.

And plus, it's not the program, it's the user.
ouch, harsh Noodoo, but I do agree about most of that
I was intentionally harsh due to the fact that he made it seem that the reason his sig was bad, was because he didn't have Photoshop.
Sparta: Are you talking about the general blend and form of the signature or the gradient inside the text? Btw, I use photoshop so I don't know if I'd be of much help to you.

I agree with Medz.

And yeah I just did. It was a random sketchpad for meh. xD
It was fun. Awesome Graphics, though.

What you suggested-blending the render in so it doesn't look on top of the background. I don't know how to do that-or at least, make it work...

When you say blending, it does not necessarily mean that the render has to lightly erased on the sides. Blending is more like.....when the BG and the render FITS the "concept" of the tag. "CONCEPT". Yup. ^^
Sparta, I basically meant the flow of the sig. Make it all
Fit together nicely.

Ty BP.

if he means the blend mode, then in the layer parts. there is "mode" written. click the drop box, then choose what mode do you want Smile
Turn the animation down a little and let it pause for 4-5 seconds it is to blurry to see moving like that.
I like it, especially if he was going for an earthquake kind of effect.

What I don't like is the text. You always use the same one for every sig, in almost the same place (I'm such a hypocrite...).

Nice pack Othellog. Will download them soon.

Oh and I will also release a pack soon.

@F.A: I kind of like the shaky effect haha.

Sparta: Heh, I've only used that font max 3-4 times. I just couldn't be bothered to incorporate a new style. Also, I hardly keep it in the same place...
