Can’t trickshot me!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey I actually JUST finished this in GIMP! It is my very first signature I have ever made on my own. (the render is from planetrender)

PLEASE give me your input and suggestions on how to improve it. I also would like to know how I make text effects because the text looks kinda bland and plain...

so first off i like the render. Its a good size for a beginner sig u probley should look into getting photoshop free or not i dont judge. back to the sig the text keep it nice and easy nice font no cool fonts or effects for em and make it small(the font) u also need a background and c4ds they are just to give it this nice feel. since you have gimp i can really help that much but look up tuts and my first sig was alot worst so dont worry. NEVER GIVE UP because no matter how bad you are yo can only get better.

thanks for the input! +REP! and i've tried the photoshop trial version and for some reason whenever i open any image file or template the program puts random black/white shapes on the image that DO NOT belong. IDK why it does this, but it made me give up on photoshop. (if you know a legit keygen or crack i would appreciate it :P)

last question. Do you know of any good websites i could get brushes, textures, backgrounds, and renders from?

Those black/white boxes are to show where the image is empty (transparent). They are supposed to be there and do not show up in your final image. They should be behind everything you put in the actual image and, like I said before, they don't show up after you save the file Smile.
