I've moved on in graphics design and haven't made anything amateur like a signature or an avatar in ages, but I used to make a pretty cool orb-like avatar. Eventually enough people starting asking how I made them, so I made a tutorial (keep in mind this was years ago). I'm mostly here for forging, but I figure I can kill two birds with one stone by lending beginners my tutorials. This should help with blending options a little bit. http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/8757/orbavatar2ta3.jpg --RaVNzCRoFT
