    good try Fredrick I really don't like the red, try something more friendly like dark green or blue? If you wan't to use red, I'd suggest using less of it!

    I would start a new one, with more meaning to it if you get what I mean? e.g. base it around a game? tv show etc

    I hope this helps.

    Yeah, it helps... Problem is I like all the red.. I like the whole dead stuff feel to it And the problem with basing it around a game, tv show, etc is that I dont watch TV and im not enough into a particular game to do one on that. Thanks a lot for the advice though! I'll keep trying to think of a game worth making a sig on.

    What I tend to do is find a render I like first, stick that on a white background and then just paint some grunge brushes on it, and then colourise that. You can pick any colour that way and see what it looks like before finialising it.

    Using the filters is fine and all, but you can't really make great sigs with them, because the filters are aimed to to create specific artisitic effects, like the Crosshatch style in the first one, etc etc.

    Yeah... :-( That font is sad.. But I dont have very many. I'll see what I can do. Man... I think I hate trying to get good at photo editing. It takes a bit of effort, and I'm to lazy to want to put forth effort. I think I need some inspiration to do a decent sig... something that I like enough to work with. :-/

    ...Yeah- I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on editing 'till I have some sort of inspiration. Maybe someday somebody will put out a decent game.. Worthy of a sig for me
