Here are a few sigs I made. I'm pretty amature, I use a program called Gimp 2. We have photoshop but i prefer to use Gimp it's easier for me. Well I was hoping for some comments, guidence, advice, where I went wrong and were I could've made them better. There all crap I know that so I'm ready for harsh comments ect. But ways on how I could improve mostly ><
I guess I can do requests, thats if any one really wants one of my crapy signatures o-o; The one thing I cant do is different coloured text so if you do actually request please dont ask for the text to be in different colours >< I can only do one technique to make it multi coloured but that fails. So other than that it will have to be solid coloured text.
So comment away,
This is my current siggy used on forums, I didnt know how to use layers and such so everything was made from scratch I made the clouds background myself messing with a couple brushes. This was my second ever signature I made.
This was rushed, I got very bored and wanted to mess about with sunset colours, also no layers used here. This was my third ever signature made.
This was my 4th signature made just simple brushes and text used. Again no layers. Kinda fails that took me 20mins to make ><;
This was a screen shot of us all togther and theres a little tool on gimp called the smudge tool. Well all I did was use that and mess around with it until I was happy.
My first time messing with layers, that took about 10-15mins theres an empty spot because I was going to put writing on it ><. But forgot what I was going to put on it o.o;
This is the finished product there was about 24 layers to this one >< It took about 1-2hours to do you see all the red and orange slapts and stuff tha jump out at you there called renders they were a full picture with a black background and solid colours. It took me 30mins to find out how to make those transparty. This is my latest sig done last week.
As you can see I havnt put my first signature up >< I'm kinda ashamed of it. But I love you! here goes
This was my first ever sig >_> I used just brushes and messed around >< I didnt know what size i needed for the regular signature and I didnt even know how to crop images back then ><. I was a total idiot XD and still kinda am.
------------------------------Edit------------------------------------------
If you'd like to use any of the signatures within this "Edit" Section or would like me to edit/ change a signature for you feel free to do so. Or you can request a brand new siggy that I will make from scratch.
I made this like 20 mins ago it took 10mins to make just some simple layers getting used to using them now. One layer for brushing behind the angel then another and the background was made by going to "Filters" "Render" "Clouds" "Plasma" Then to get it the deep red colour go to "Colours" "Colourize" And mess around with the colours. As for the red and white dusting ish splats their a brush and the flower and the swirly pattern next to the flower is also a brush but I lowered the opacity until I was happy. Because I didn't want the full hard stencil white. As for the picture thats a render from www.planetrenders.net
This I made this morning took about 35mins o-o; I got a image of an anime angel girl but didnt like the colour of it and wanted it to match the colour of the background. So I copied and pasted the same image and coloured it to the colours within the background I'm kinda proud of this one ><.
Also made this, this morning not a request or anything just playing around really, took about 5mins to make just made a black background and used a blue-ish-greenie colour for the background then a pale peach and a dull yellow resized the brushed making the blue ones the bigged and the pale peach the smallest.
This took about 10mins to make because i had to resize some of the renders then re-colour the kitten render which was easy when you can recolour mid-tones and highlight certain areas. I also added the twinkle brush around the edges but made it kind of opaque because the brush with all the colour looks harsh on the back-ground.
So any ideas on how I can turn my signatures that are piles of poop to something higher up than poop x3. If your a fellow gimp user dont be scared to post a comment about some of the litle secrets you've uncovered like effects ect.

Avi/Signature Credit To Me
*is a fellow gimp user* Well I think I will talk around here since I am nub as well but there is one thing I've discovered. If you type the text and then copy it it goes to clipboard. So you can take the pencil tool choose the text and use the various effects such as soft light which you can see in my signature.
Thanks for that and I didnt know you could use soft light like you have around the border of your siggy.
I've seen it used before in basic gimp tutorials on youtube. But thats only been to ligthen up the render their using for the main peice of the siggy. So I'll play about with that tool a bit. Thanks again ^^.
I like your bunnies Sacrafice outfit better than your Gothic outfit. ;o;
Avi by Aztech! Siggy by Aisoyoko!
The thing around my siggy is called fuzzy border. It's under the script sections. They have a lot of neat things there.
IhaveSenses:I like your bunnies Sacrafice outfit better than your Gothic outfit. ;o;
I never use my gothic crown any more >:
I use my fishie, And my sacrafice outfits changed. Cause my bf lets me borrow his sacrafice set I use the white bunny clothes the white top and white gloves and boots but black skirt and black jacket. I'll screenie it some time, thats if you wanna see it. Well after my computer gets fixed DX
I respect you, if you really made these using GIMP,
I was able to (allmost) draw a whale, but then I messed it up,
and at the end it was blue-onion-looking thing, that had green pepper in middle of it
(I'm really not sure, how I got the pepper in there)
=C
Love Is In The Air ~<3
XDD The pepper is in the basic brushes pack that come with the gimp program when you download it. Gimps not that hard to use >< you just gotta play around and pick up tips from other people. My works a pile of poop. Compared to other people signatures who use gimp there amazing ><. My stuff not so good XD
But thanks for that x3 It's given me a real confidence boost.
Dunno.. some of them are quite good.. like those red ones P: Well I suck at gimp as well so mah signatures are quite simple =w=;;;
Lol seriously you gotta be kidding me right? There all peices of poop >:
But I'd rather make my own than bother some one else to make one for me ><
