    <-------New Avatar

    So I made a new sig and avatar yesterday and I was wondering how u guys like them... they aren't masterpieces, but with a quick edit in photobucket (lol) it seemed to do the trick

    Here are my stages of editing, so far:

    1.

    I don't want to click your profile brah.
    EDIT: I guess it's alright, the text looks too flat, it would be nice if it looked like it was stuck or painted on the metal.

    FYI, I hate photobucket edits. Especially the text.

    They are just mediocre.

    I agree.

    Anyhow, get GIMP, use the tutorials, and then show us your graphics so we can help you.

    I'll try GIMP, whatever it is, but i don't really have the money to buy photoshop and stuff... and i think photobucket is the best free editor right now... but i'll try GIMP and i think that i might actually be getting photoshop (since it's my moms) when my packages come from the US

    If you think photobucket is better than GIMP... GIMP is the best free photo editing program. It functions along the same general line as photoshop and you can DL it from the site. Also your sig looks Horrendous. The blur on the outside looks like crap and the text is... It's just there, not even blended and a solid color covering the whole thing. The color doesn't even go with the rest of the sig and I lack words to describe it.

    Do you want the HONEST truth or do you want the truth sprinkled with pixie dust?

    Well... I wouldn't use the term Oldschool...

    The edit you've just done does look better. But to be brutally honest it's like trying to shine up a lump of coal... It's still coal either way.

    Firstly the font you've used with the colour conflicts with the background too much and does not look like it should be together at all. Not only that, the background you've used is dull and boring.

    The blurring effects on the background image look out of place and it's like you're trying to pull the focus away from the words. Also this weird border thing you have going on just doesn't look good at all. Full stop.

    Now the Avy, basically all the same as the sig. I don't like either of them. They look very amature at best.

    Brutal enough?

    Sidenote, if you know me at all you should know that this post is kind.

    Sorry...

    Reynbow? Is... is that you? This post is angelic!

    Yea, Reynbow is being nice. VERY nice. In fact, this is the nicest I've seen come from him.

    For photobucket editing, that's pretty good. But it still sucks. If GIMP is not downloading, make sure you download the right one for your computer. Microsoft requires the microsoft compatibility one. Mac needs the mac one.

    lol, sweeet!
    well... thnx Reynbow...?... I tried 2 different types for the mac, and I can't find anything else that looks legit. But like I said, I think i'll keep this sig, cuz I like it, and i'll just have to wait till I get photoshop and then i'll change it.
