Here are some of the siggys I've made recently:

This was for a contest on one of my forums:





These was to feed my Gone With the Wind obsession...:













I made this for a member on one of my forums:

These are some more:

they all rule ashe good job

Thanks Eman... Here are a few new ones...

i like the death note one the most. good job.

Thanks Eman. Here is just a random background I made messing with some filters. I was trying for a different effect but came up with this. I most likely will never use it, but I thought it looked neat.

Your tags are good, but they don't blend =(

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the images don't blend into the background, then in most cases it is done on purpose, I don't want the image to totally blend into the background.

To be honest, most of your tags aren't very good at all. All it seems like is you brushed a background, and slapped a render on.

well that is true some people do that but it is ok cause we are just giving her advice and such. and i like the red abstract one .. make it with paint.net?

Actually I use a combination of Gimp, Paint.net, and Photobie... I do use brushes, but then I also use filters and the like to.

You are entitled to your opinion, though I don't think they are all that bad, sure not great but not horrible at all.

I recognise these.... and I do think you should put an image with that background you made. It's very odd, but pretty. It looks like something from a tapestry or some tassels from the bottom of a curtain pull string thingy...you know what I mean ^-^

I did put an image to it....



I don't know how I came up with the design. I was just messing around with different filters and effects....

i say that is good.

I know that design. I've made it before with Paint.Net.

I made that one totally with Gimp (I did use paint.net for adding the image and text), but forget what the name of the filters were that I used. There were 2 of them I believe.

Julia Fractal and Mandlebrot Fractal.

They're okay for GIMP. I do suggest investing in Photoshop, it's a good program and a good skill to know.

What he means by 'blending', is how well the focal point looks with the background. For example, most of your signatures look like a background with a render slapped on. To increase your skills, try making it look like the focal point actually belongs in the picture, like that girl belongs next to those rocks, etc. Don't be afraid to fool around with color and lighting settings to do this. It's all in learning the art.

I'll not pay the price they ask for Photoshop. I've other things to spend my money on. Gimp, Photobie, and Paint.net are excellent free programs and do what I need to do with them.

Here are a few new ones:

You don't have to pay for photoshop.

i did

You might want to blend it more, like suggested before. Also, try sharpening and bringing out the focal a bit more.

You do unless you wish to break the law, which I really don't want to do. Especially when there are decent substitutes for it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I actually did sharpen it some, but agree it could have been a bit more.

Here is another:

i like it the background is awesome.

...the render kinda disappears after her arms, lol.

Your best yet, though. Keep in mind the rule of thirds, though, you should'a put the render in the middle, lol.

That is the way the image was. It was only the upper part of her body. I actually tried her in the middle and she didn't look right because of the way she is leaning...

Here are 3 new ones... Nothing special....

they are good. keep up the good work
