    -- Apocolypse --

    Hey graphics and arts, this is my first post in the graphics and arts section, i am a beginner at this and constructive critisicm would be great.

    i just Gimped with the colors, added a few streaks, edited the area around the edges, did some major cropping, and added text, which I then proceded to blur with the X shaped tool, and made the text look cool to me, then I took it to photobucket and worked in a better looking border.

    I did this one myself, tis nothing special

    Info:
    Text: R0FLninja Dont tread on me (yes I know, rather corny.)
    Font: Tall paul
    Image Editing Sites Used: Gimp 2.6, Photobucket, HP Image Zone.

    its more of art than a sig, but I like it.

    v2 with border

    That actually is a very long time... Most of the people who are considered the "best" graphics people take less than an hour on most of theirs...

    I'm actually wondering what you did to make this... It kind of just looks like a fractal placed on a black background with text, but if you say you took 5-6 hours on it, then there must be something else you did.

    My and Hells collabs, which take much longer than regular, are about 2 hours work or less...So you must have done something other than just a paste job with text.

    yes, other than that, i spent a lotof time experimenting with effects and tools on gimp and working things out, omg and the size modifier on photobucket pisses me off, it took me almost an hour to correctly get the good size witout messing up the text or the details and stretching it out, or having it copy and pasted with a bunch of white space next to it.

    like i said, im new here, but about 2/3 of the time was just trying to figure stuff out, experimenting with effects, and trying to FIX THE ****ING SIZE.

    most of the time spent tho was almost doing more painting over the painting on gimp with a cool combo of paint tools and stuff that would take way too long to explain.

    I hate to break your dreams, but it's a C4D placed in the middle of a canvas, nothing too special, try not using those or even brushes, stick to defaults.
