    Me? But I dont have much to show though :p So I dont know.. I just want to know if these graphics are good for someone who started using GIMP only a few times, and still needs more tuts, etc.? Because the more info you "experts" ;) give me, I'll absorb all of that and try to do my best.. :)

    ok dont take this too harsh :p...

    First two are way too big for sigs, just about too big to be tags even, not really sure on thier purpose but if theyd been made into sigs I think the final product would have been better.

    The BG is way too plain, also doesnt blend in with the render at all. Also looks pretty low quality (LQ). Much too basic.

    Render is also pretty LQ, a little broad around the edges and once again doesnt blend at all, The metal piece on the eye which is what im sure you put all the effort and focus into looks a bit tacked on, too choppy around the edges and hasnt been blended in properly, however this probably wouldnt have been noticed as mch if you had made it sig size and blended the BG in a little better.

    Also the last sig is just horrid in my opinion, I dont know what you thought you were doing with the text, but next time dont lol :p

    If you cant use the blending tools very well, try using a soft eraser tool on about 15% opac and lightly erase certian parts that you want blended. I use it all the time :)

    Alright, thanks for you opinion dude, I didnt take it too harshly :D lol, yeah thanks though.. I'll work on them, but the two Super Buu graphics were going to be sigs, but I didnt make them sigs, I just left them the original size to be showable, (if thats a word) and so I dont have to worry about it being so squished and stuff when I scaled the image... However, I could make it into a sig, and I should look for less simpler renders and backgrounds.. Yeah, I dont know what I was thinking with the font there :p Oh and Cloudboy, Great job even since you werent working on PS for a while, Nice!

    Hey, Some of you guys should take a look at your text. When u look at it doesn't it look a bit choppy? Try to play around with the backgrounds a bit more ( example: the buu picture ). Never really watched the eps,  but does fire have anything to do with buu? Try giving it a background that complements his colour or/and his theme. Play around with colour at first & like once you start getting more experienced with colour, you'll start getting a feel for what colours match others & others that don't. =]

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Yeah thanks for the info dude, but I only put that fiery background because Super Buu destroyed everything in his path, and so he caused fires and all sorts of disasters to cities and towns... Thats why I thought It would be convienient to choose the fiery background... Thanks for the info though

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Hey guys, I scaled the image of Terminator Buu, and I smudged the metal part a bit making it look less pasted on, and made it more realistic...

    Tell me how it is and if it is an improvement please:

    EDIT: I've been working on this one, and I played around with gradients, different fonts, and other stuff, tell me how this is for a first try using different objects:
