I hope it's not my imagination when I say that I think it looks pretty good.

(Note, Yeah, I IWarped the light orbs. No, I didn't add scanlines. If anyone'd like to show me how the hell to add patterns/brushes on a mac, I'd love to know.)

This is for PS. It might be the same for GIMP. I think it is.

Brushes: Go to DA and find a brush set you want. Then look to the left and click DOWNLOAD. Then once you've downloaded it, go to your downloads folder and drag that download on to your desktop. Then open PS and click on the brush. Then click on the down arrow to select your brush. Then at the top-right corner of the brush window click on the arrow like this >.
Then click load brush. Then click on the brush set you downloaded. Then click on the select brush arrow again, and select your brush!

Hope I helped ya!

No comment on mah siggy? I'm sad.

Thanks Demon, I'll try that.

Srry, forgot 'bout teh siggy. Um, I like it. The lighting is very good, and I love what you did with the orbs! Maybe add a C4D or two, and put some text in also. Other than that it's a rather good sig. I rate it 8.5/10. Definetely one of your bests! Nice job.

My eyes have been gouged out since 6-May 08.

nice sig son

Thanks. I added it to my signature, finally. It's been a while since anything's been showcased there.

Yea the sig looks nice but im my opinion you shouldnt make the border so thick, and like Demonator said try adding like 1 or 2 c4d's that would make this sig even better I still think your Turtwig sig is better.

Great Job though looks awesome.

I really like it, but I just think that it looks pretty low quality to me. Maybe sharpening it and doing a brightness/contrast filter would help it.

Good job, though. Probably an 8/10.
