    I'm no good with graphics, but how do you guys make those backgrounds?

    I found all of mine on that site I posted up a feww pages ago...

    And

    Personally, my favourite is the Piccolo, Trunks, and Goku Dashing graphics. And what do you mean Loony? Should I get better fonts and reedit them?

    Other than that, is everything else alright?

    I'm saying that the text looks like it's been added in with paint or something, not like it's part of the image.

    But I did use Paint. :-[ Alright, I'll try to make it blend with the background. Thanks for the advice, Loony. Anything else wrong with it?
    Is this one alright with the text?

    I'm not really a fan of the backwards italics, but other than that it's fine. But you use the same general background pattern in all of your sigs. 8/10.

    * I agree, text could be better, but to be really honest I like the scan lines style that you have developed. That sig is one of your best yet. I actually really like it. Keep up with that work man :)

    That comment was aimed at Airsoft, DQ untill you can step up to PS or at least GIMP all of your work will be unoriginal due to using purely other peoples stocks and renders to compile your sigs.

    stick with GIMP, it is easier to learn than PS and you can move on to PS later.

    Im trying GIMP, but its all so complicated. Even with the tutorials.. :-[ ???

    Since I suck with other programs, I thought I might as well whip up another 2 with MS Paint, since I was bored... :-\

    This one below turned out to be a little extra larger... But it does look good right? :-[
