Thanks, ya'll. ;D
And I just picked a brush site and chose a few at random. I think I used primarily 2 in it, but had bits of about 4 or 5 others as well.

LHW, yeah. That is really good! I think an excellent job at your first time using brushes.  I was wondering.... I am personally have problems mastering brushes. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or write a tutorial in how to work brushes better? Whenever I use them, they always turn out to look the same... I guess I shouldn't really post this here. lol Bad admin! LOL;D |

Thanks, Shan! I don't think I'm qualified to write a tutorial on this, but here's what I basically did with this one, after I came up with the background image: - Used 2 layers for the brushes.
- Used Black brushes for the bottom layer, and White ones for the top layer.
- Set the bottom layer to 80% Opacity.
- Set the top layer to Hard Light.
The rest was just fudging around with it, and working with color saturation levels. |

When using grunge brushes play around with all the settings...alot! Esp' size , rotation and opacity. also mess around with the different brush blend modes. dodge is the one i tend to use an awful lot at the moment. Take your time with it |

Rocky said he'd have his in this weekend, so we'll have at least 1 more. Eez may be too busy, and I'm not sure about Crystal or Joshua. EDIT: And I've not heard of that Anime...I'll definately plan on checking it out sometime. |

I thought it would be a bit lonely all on it's own. it needed sme other anime sigs to keep it company.
;D

Another one, just for fun (if you can count 18 layers as "fun"):  The creature is from the Anime Classic, Genocyber. |

Woah! that's fantastic! I've seen that effect used quite a bit but not as elaborately as that. I'm not surprised it took so long to put together! I'm too impatient to do animation. |

Thanks. I don't normally do animated images, so it usually takes me a little longer to do them.
When I added the final fade effect, the background pixelated a little, but I thought it was worth it to keep that effect...you can't really tell unless you look really close, and compare it to my regular category background. lol
