    Well, I'm here with a bunch of stuff that I am or have been working on. It's just that I never am satisfied with any of my sigs so I don't post any... which is why I am posting right now. Please note that all of these are unfinished so give me feedback, criticism, or anything else you guys enjoy doing on this forum.

    My most recent work... just the normal Final Fantasy sig. I ran out of ideas half way through so... eh....

    Ingredients:
    [​IMG]
    Midgar Ruins from Final Fantasy: Advent Children. I used this a a background just to stay with that whole Final Fantasy theme.

    [​IMG]
    This is the second layer, I tried to use this for some kind of metal explosion type thing, without going to realistic

    [​IMG]
    This is the render I used... I used this one because it went with my original idea, which I ended up straying very far from.

    I saw the original concept art and really wanted to make it into a sig. I didn't do too much because it was already good enough. I just added a border, some text, and played with the colors a bit.

    Ingredients:
    [​IMG]
    Here is the original image. As you can see, I didn't do too much.

    Ahh.. the good old Final Countdown. I made this from one of my favorite HAalo 3 screenshots that I took a while back. I wanted it very simplistic with a sort of relaxed tone to it.

    Ingredients:
    [​IMG]
    This was the orginal screenshot that I had taken a while back

    Spring Landscape. I made this shortly after I made my Balloon sig and used the same concept, but a little more advanced. I didn't do much since this was really just a test of the effects in GIMP. I'm fairly happy with it, but I can never make up my mind on text for it. I think I've went through at least 50 variations, only to scrap them all.

    Ingredients:

    This was the original image that I used. As I said before, I didn't really do much.

    Well, this is a little bit of everything. I saw the original render a while back and figured I;d try my hand at making it into something. I used a lot of different coloring, brushing, and renders. I'm not really happy or satisfied with it but I'll still post it just to get it off my shoulders.

    Ingredients:
    [​IMG]
    Concept art from the Frontlines: Fuel of War map: Gnaw. I thought it would be a good urban themed background to use with the render.

    [​IMG]
    This was the main render that I used, taken from Killzone 2.

    [​IMG]
    And a plane from Blazing Angels! I thought it would look good in the background. Don't ask me why.

    [​IMG]
    This is probably my least favorite. It had so much potential, too.. The lighting on the render doesn't go with the background image so I just gave up.

    Ingredients:
    [​IMG]
    Here is the original render that I used...

    I can't find the background image, I probably deleted it... I'll go look for it on Deviatart.


    [​IMG]
    I made this sig a week after I downloaded GIMP. I started from scratch, though, and used some different brushes. Just thought I'd post this to bring back memories :rogue:


    And.... that's it!

    At least, I think so. If I find anymore I'll post them.

    This one is cool, but the border ruins it.

    They are ok sigs, but you don't really do anything to make them... The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones are just resized artwork that you blurred and added a border and/or text to... The Final Fantasy one is just the background and C4D layered and blurred with a render slapped on top...
