The image just compressed and text doesn't fit. Again you also might want to try brushes since it only looks like you resized it.

What do you mean by brushes????????? (still learning sry for your time)

and i guess it does look like a resized it only when i stare at it

[Mr.Raw]

where the hell do you guys get the time to make signatures =_=...tell me your secret ...

[sayinterry]

Im still in middle school and i have like no homework so i have a lot of spare time.

Since theres like no possible way for me to learn the art of sig making in........ 20 days.

Ill just submit this as FINAL entry

Before we offer advice, it's helpful to know what program you use to make your signature. Photoshop? Microsoft Paint? GIMP? Paint.net? Other? Knowing what you use to make signatures means we can offer advice tailored to the program you use so you aren't as confused by what we're talking about (like brushes).

In the meantime, you can also check out the Fan Creations stickied topic called Sig/Avatar tutorials by the makers. In that thread are tons of links to guides and other information to help you get a start in making signatures and avatars.

Brushes are a tool in photoshop used to create graphics. Like the effects in these sigs are used by diffrent downloaded brushes.
Just go to the paintbrush icon (Under the eraser in photoshop elements)
Aaaaaand Ta-da~ You can start experimenting.

And no reason for apology we're all n00bs once.

V3

V4

I really like your first version (with the oval border). It's your best work I've seen so far, imho. Why don't you try slicing the transparent parts and put it as PNG24 - no sacrifice in quality.

[ganbaru]

@ Presage I did try it ( in 5 slices) but the slice for the bottom and top were taking much of the 48.8kb allowed.

My try for the SOTM... >_< (need C&C) [actually there are 2 more pairs I'm working at and this was the 1st one to finished
1st draft




2nd draft

i love the flow but the random dots r distracting ,

give em a lil blur and set em on overlay/soft light .. that should do the trick ,

and again .. the text needs some work

My work

ver.B with added c4d.

[sayinterry]

@beruko : even though i suck at sigs, my view as a person is that your sig really isnt clear enough. it has too many of what i think is specks (or maybe your c4d) i recommend clearing it up a little since i cant really make out the left person and i dont understand the point of the background for the right

[Soul-Stealer]

hmm thnx envy for the comment i will work on it

I think you're right, the pic is too hard to visualize clearly. Thnks, I'll take note of this.

edit: a bit of change

final entry

[ganbaru]

@capture, I prefered v2... when the central part was still showing.
@Beruko08 I would go with the latest version
@Soul-Stealer is it me or the renders seem to mix too much on the effect ?

I tried again my circular version reworked the color, sliced and resized it for using PNG24 for the transparent parts. C&C would be welcome.

Spoiler for version 4 of the rectangle version .:

[Soul-Stealer]

ganbaru i made it that way ! so the renders wont stand out ~ i think its good wont do anything now xD enough

Final Entry

[White Manju Bun]

Very VERY rough 1st draft, I already see a few things I need to fix. Mostly want to know if the animation fits, does it flow? Im not loving how InuYasha and Sessh-sama look in this image either, I tried making it better but appears I failed. Like I said, rough, rough draft. (yes I know there is no border)



On the brightside I kinda figure out slicing
