looks awesome. I like scanlines,glassy effect, colors, background and everything

[lostsoul]

Thats a nice sig M@. I think its nice to start off the year

[admin]

that's really cool, Matt I really like how you did the text. Especially how you got the wave on it like that. and of course, your backgrounds are always the coolest Good job, my buddy

[matthew]

thanks peeps ;D I just made something else so i though i may as well post it in this thread.

[hischild]

I love this new one mahud. It describes YOU.

[Ellie]

I like them both. I really like the image you chose for the first one, and the colors look really good together. Do you use something like Palette Master or Color Schemer when you make your sigs? You seem to use color combinations that I would never have thought of, but they always look great.

[lostsoul]

Youve got a good point there Ellie how do you get good colors to work? I like sigs that you mkae with those really nice borders M@ your images are toatly individual and ive never seen any one else do ones like them

Yeah, I totally got you backed up on that one, Soul. Now that I'm beginning to get the hang of PSP9 and can actually accomplish a good looking sig, I try to think of a sig M@ or Shan has done and think about the borders. Because besides the text, I think the borders are what catch the eye. And so you have to make them all special like. But yeah, I TRY to create a sig using a border style similar to M@'s and Shan's! I especially like the wavy ones they used a bit back.

[lostsoul]

I wish i could make one like that M@ its one of my fave gfx at the moment. And you always manage to make the text fit and work in the image please got any tips? lol

EDIT: Btw that site looks really good but i have to give away all my details (address etc.) No fair and it looks really good

I just make it up as i go along really. I'll start off with a pretty plain colour...i'm not too fussy about the colour i use to start it off. I'll set a dark shade in one colour box and a light one in the other, and apply it using a grunge brush, and probably play around with the brush blend modes a bit.

To create the backgrounds I like I mainly use colour balance and distortion effects. I duplicate the background, and apply the colour or effect until i have something i can use, and then i erase the bit's i don't want, merge down, and reduplicate. If i keep messing around like that, eventually cool things always seem to happen ;D

for the border I colour pick from the background, and also use the above metheds to make it blend and match even more, and same with the render and text.

[lostsoul]

cool i like the way to do it but to be honest i would never be able to make one like yours so ill stick to my own style

[Michael]

What's your style?

[lostsoul]

My style? Ummmm yeh im not sure really i like doing techy stuff on Gimp and mostly basic stuff. Im not to good at pixel stuff and im working on my other areas of work but im generally best at tech and industrial gfx. To find some of my gfx based like that you will have ot go to my website that is not made yet but ive got hosting permission yay.

[Michael]

lol... I can't wait to see them! ^_^

[matthew]

i made the background for this yesterday, but didn't have an image for it. i spotted this clown image at stock exchange earlier and it seemed to fit



This is something else that i started on yesterday and finished today.
