EVERYONE STAND BACK! I tried to make a signature

Dokter Bob · **Posted:** July 15th, 2009, 3:49 pm

I wouldn't really call this a signature. It seems more like a fancy background. I was playing around with different opacity and such.

CnC would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what to fill the void with.

It's very nice for a first, but like I said, your text needs a bit of work. Not much you can do with gimp though.

Try upgrading to photoshop if you can

Ya, I noticed that I didn't pay too much attention to my text.

I'll have to download some new ones

i can send you the set-up or tell you what to search if you'd like.
as old as it is, it's better than gimp.

EDIT: Who edited this first line out, without saying?

Anyways, it's nice and simple. Is that a render, or a brush?

yet his location clearly states Eastern England? If he wants to get photoshop he'll either buy or find a way to get it.

And yes, I would recommend downloading some new fonts.

I actually like it. It's a little too light for the dark forums, but I think it looks good. I like simple text too.

I used an abstract 3D render that Kenny suggested in another thread

I thought of something else you could do to make it look a bit more complete, try adding a border

For this one, I'd try a dark blue color. Use the pencil tool set to one pixel, then go around the edges while holding shift to make straight lines. Set to different layer modes/opacity to your liking.

Dokter Bob · **Posted:** July 16th, 2009, 1:19 pm

Okay, darkened it a bit and added a border

Its a little big for my taste, but if that's what you like then sure, go with it. Keep experimenting though, you'll get better. Sometimes you don't need text; you can still have really amazing tags even without text-

Looks at tuts and download some PSD's from PR, you can get heaps better really quick over there. Oh and these two tutorials that I found are REALLY good: http://mrjimmyboy.deviantart.com/art/Echelon-Tutorial-99843775
