    Well, after trying to find someone to make me a cool sig, I failed. So, I just started using GIMP and although this maybe not like Reynbow's level of sigs I think it looks pretty good, check out my sig and tell me what you think, notice the blurring drawl effect draging behind the Spartan.

    looks pretty good, especially for your first gimp sig. The only I can say is that I would avoid spartan models that have weird lighting. It just doesn't seem to fit right.

    Otherwise, the background looks very nice with some good depth.

    Did you use a tut or just some brushes?

    Looks okay, there's room for improvement.
    I dont mind doing a sig for you, just give me a pic of your spartan and give a rough theme to work around.

    Well idk now, I think I'll just make do with what I can make becuase I really would rather have something of my own creation, sry to turn you down but after I asked if youd make one I thought Id just try it. Really I think it's fine, as long as it looks cool.

    Your sig kinda looks like something Reynbow made, not quite as sharp, but the comic book stuff reminds me of his awesome Super Man one.... I kinda wish I had found out about his sig shop before he stopped taking requests... :(

    yeah, I don't really like it but I am tired of halo sigs, so it works. I'm just mad that photobucket screwed up the flash pic on the left side.

    and reynbow's superman one is awesome, idk why he didn't keep using it.

    That looks a little better, but some of it looks a little squarish. Do you know how to DL custom fonts and brushes? That will make your sigs 100 times better.

    (if not, go to deviant art and search GIMP brushes and find some you like and download them. If you have windows, just google it and something should come up. I have a mac)

    i never used gimp before but if it works in layers like photoshop you might wanna mask off the spartan. the tint kinda looks like it was just slapped on top.

    masking is like erasing parts of top layers so that other lower parts of the image show up nice and clear. it will really make your spartan stand out more (if thats what you want).

    nice job tho!
