By background, I mean no text, no additional images, just a background you made yourself. No theme is necessary, and it must be original. Good luck!

It's that time again! By popular request, I'm issuing Sig Background Battle V2!

Size: 500x150
Theme: Sig Background
Due date: July 18th
Voting ends: July 23rd

Voting: (Where X=number of participants)
X≤4: Single votes w/ reason
4<X≤8: Double votes w/ reasons
8<X≤12: Triple votes w/ reasons

You must have proof that it is ORIGINAL. Not edited. When you send in the sig to whoever wishes to receive it, you must explain how you did it. For example (this actually is what I do though, so yeah):

Pretty much, explain how you made it, and so long as it it fully original, you are all set. I hope to see some more voting on the battle this time around!

This guy Wrote:1) Gradient Bars plugin for Paint.NET on half of the sig.
2) Unfocus on 1.
3) Frosted Glass.
4) Curves to make it blue.
5) Water Reflection plugin on the lower half.
6) Lower half of the sig, saturation lowered.
7) White Radial Gradient set to Overlay in the center.
8) Render clouds, then use Dents at a small scale, Overlay, lower opacity.
9) Random Shape Fill plugin for Paint.NET, grayscale plus signs, overlay, lower opacity.
10) 2 px Black border, 1 px white border inside of it, set to Overlay.

Then you're done.
