    Depending on the program you are using, making a render of your own isn't as hard as you make think. For me I use either my Path Tool, the "free-hand" lasso tool and/or my Magic Wand tool depending on the background of the render I want.

    I'm going to rip them from my rom I think...

    Edit:
    This is what I can do with the images I could find...

    I messed around with the contrast a bit but I dunno, I could have ruined it...

    well dont worry man, im a noob at graphics too. I think its ok, but to me (i dont know if my eyes are just bad) but i kind of looks alittle blurry, and i think you should add a thin border around the outside of the graphic. But other than that its good.

    @DQ: Thanks, and I thought I would add the view of the breasts in a place you can see it ;)
    @head635: Yeah a border would make it much better, and perhaps something in the centre

    BOOBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA, I like it. Good job. How did you do the border though?


    Just as the other have said, a nice thin border would complete it. Other than that, I don't really see that much wrong with it. Everyone is creative in their own way.

    The border was neatly arranged black lines, that's why it's a beat wider at the left because it wasn't auto...

    This is better. Only thing what is behind the render...it looks like it was overlayed or you used a different technique?

    ???

    What is a render ? What is overlayed ?

    (Sorry for my ignorance)

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Renders are the things you insert the rest of the technical terms are lost to me, I just call most things -x-thingy
    e.g- Brush-thingy

    And yes that sig looks really good

    Overlay is a type of layer blending mode. It may be overlayed, though it may just be reduced opac.

    Crappy sig number one....

    Crappy sig number two...
    [​IMG]

    The reason I say they are crappy is I noticed after the final products I messed up on the borders...Plus, when I showed them off to friends on another forum, one of guys just kept saying, I need to learn how to put my renders behind borders, I need to blend my renders into the background... I need to learn how to use text, I need learn blending, blah, blah, blah, etc. Kind of hurt my feelings. It's not easy learning new techniques when I have a 3 year running screaming and playing with his toys. I just wanted to try something different and give the sigs my own creative flare. *sigh*

    I feel like I'll never be good...​

    Re: The Signature Thread

    I don't see any problems with the sigs except they are rather small...
    And sometimes it's the theme that is the problem, sometimes it can be uninspiring or low on renders v_v

    Plus you are good at making sigs, you are pretty new to this anyway, people like Almo have been doing it for ages...

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Thanks CJ. I made them small because I don't know many techniques to quite take up space like I did with my Mavi sig. I just used a flower paint brush and set the layer to overlay and it was on a new layer...That's simple....But other things I need a really good and kind of newbie friendly approach to it...Youtube doesn't have many good ones because practically everyone uses Photoshop and not GIMP. I've gotten used to GIMP, and when I used PaintShop Pro, I was lost. But GIMP felt like almost natural.
