It's huge. Plus, Diddy Kong is very aliased around the edges. But the colors in the background are kind of interesting.

It's pretty horrible.

It looks disgusting. You should really read some tutorials. Pixel2Life.com is good.

Also your current sig is animated, (That's not allowed) Read the rules.

^^^That and I hate how big it is, do signatures realy need to be that big?

Haha, I knew it was gonna get shot down,Just seeing what I could do with Gimp,That no animation thing must be new,I haven't been here in a while,
Meh,I'll just open up Garry's Mod,Take a few pictures,then add effects,put my name on it,done.

The rules haven't changed since you've joined, so I'm just going to assume you never read the rules in the first place. Also, as everyone said, sig is too big and ugly. Solution: look at tutorials.

Try again. Did you think it looked good BEFORE you posted it here?

Keep it simple, keep it clean,and make sure everything complements everything else...and make sure it follows the forums rules if you want to use it. Badly selected renders, background and one shade of a color a nice sig does not make.

Hey I know! Let's all yell at him, and tell him he's so horrible 15 different times in multiple languages! BRILLIANT!

OK mister 11 year old, try some of this for starters;

-Choose smaller canvas sizes... Always. (Makes them look somewhat neat and clean) 325x120 is a gooden.
-Try some simple brushing, that's always a good way to get started on making a decent BG. Go to deviantart.com and search "brushes", choices are endless.
-One render on the canvas.
-Have the BG match that of the render.
-Tut's are good for people of your ability.

Tutorial sites include.
www.Gamerenders.com
www.Pixel2life.com
www.Deviantart.com
www.rnel.net
www.gfxvoid.com
www.layeredgfx.com

Just google "Signature Tutorials"

Need any other help just give me a buzz threw the pm system or my IM's.

=]

Everyone besides Insane and NotZachary need to leave this thread... and never comback. Cheers.

this is what happens when people don't read what other people post and just look at the pictures.

dude...you are a jackass

How about you both throw on some masks and try to appear mature?

Like you've been hearing, it's not brilliant, but it's good for your beginning efforts.
I remember when I made my first sigs.. they were barf-tacular.

But remember to get as many tutorials together, look at other people sigs, and then try to mimic until you're good enough to branch out on your own.
Also, Adobe offers a 30-day trial of PhotoShop; you might wanna take a look at it.

Keep making, and let us see your progress.

1 px border
mix color schemes
match render with background and lighting
blend renders with brushes
throw in some effects

Add all those factors + cox's advice up and you have a sig.
