    hey cloudboii i know its within forum rules but big sigs are horrible and take up allot of space and are incredible distracting not to mention they are hard to make look good because you just have to much space to fill

    also just a tip as your getting in to the sig making now smaller sigs are a hole lot easier to make look better as you don't need to fill as much space.

    i hope you take that constructively and don't take offense

    have a go at making one at something around 400 x 150

    something like this (please note it is not a finished sig and just an example)

    Fair enough.
    Currently i'm making bigger ones because they're easier to experiment with, but i get your vibe and i think i'll follow that advise :)
    thanks!

    I thought it was 200px high and no restriction on width. Can't find that rule though so it must have been changed. 300px high is a bit excessive though,

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Yeah I found out that my sig is violating the rules (the cloudboy's one) so I guess I'll be removing it, no offense CloudBoii12 but I'm not using it here since I can't cuz I'd be violating the rules, but I am using it on the other forum so what the hell :p But I would prefer to be a little smaller but it's good enough :).

    good apart from his face is too orange, if you could keep his skin tone that would look better

    his face looks orange, the sig would look better (i think) if you removed the effect over his face (only his face) so he is black again and not orange

    @Mishy:

    For the bulbasaur sig, try this:

    Start with a little bigger sig, 300x150 would do.
    Use a ball gradient, green and white.
    Then make a new layer, check the custom shape tool, find the flowery thing that looks like grass.
    Put it on the sig from top to bottom(pick the colour you want), then transform and just rotate it a little so it's faceing left, duplicate the layer, go to edit-transform and flip horizontal.
    Put the bulbasaur render in the middle and down, so it will look like the grass tentacles are coming from him or behind him.
    Make a new layer, apply image.
    Use filter-gussian blur-3.0, set blending to multiply.
    Make a new layer, get a soft brush size 200pixels, set the blending to soft light, brush bulbasaur a little to make him the focal.
    New layer, apply image.
    Layer properties-colour overlay-set blending to soft light, use a colour that you want, lower the opacity until it mixes.
    And you should be able to go from there, cheers.

    5 minute possible example of the above steps:
