It's very close, but I'm gonna have to say... Sfifer: 1 N00bz: 3 #winner N00bz Sfifer, don't get me wrong, I love your signature, but I feel, as Balance said, N00bz's flowed better. I think if the town was really faded but still visible at the edges, it would have been much better. Keep up the good work

Uhm, the previous competition hasn't ended, it's first to 5 votes, not 4.

It's alright for a beginner. There's not much going on, maybe try adding some c4ds from planetrenders.net or http://apophysis.org/ The text's color doesn't match well. But nice work for a beginner.

thank you welsh.

It's first to 5 in 4way? Where does it say that..

Noobz: 3 Balance: 0 Sfifer: 0 TFPrime: 0 I agree with Kemaru, Balance's sig is huge. Sfifers sig is alright, but I've seen it for too long. TFPrimes doesn't really appeal to me.

Check out my gallery! I added some new pictures.

All the files were deleted or moved?

This is a great tutorial, I made this using your tutorial, combined with and The moon, I made myself.

Whoa these are really cool:) I'm especially eager to find out how you made these backgrounds, if they are from scratch. If they are, tutorial possibly? Keep up the good work! And maybe try a signature or two too. ;D

I took a break from signatures and made a space-related picture, check out my gallery

What do you mean? Like stuff besides signatures?

I've realized that all my recent signatures use the same technique for them all and I realized the background is getting kinda boring. Does anyone have any tips or techniques to try for a signature? Here is the way I go about making my sigs. 1.) Start new project, make a new layer, paste, and resize my render. 2.) Magic wand the transparent area on new layer with render, and invert selection so render is selected. 3.) Create a new layer above the background but under the render, paste the render all over the new canvas, and zoomblur at 100, focal point under the original render. 4.) Sometimes I do the same thing as Step 3, but I smudge the render and set it to some blend mode. 5.) Switch to render layer, grab eraser, and set color to white with opacity of 5, and erase edges of render, so it blends. 6.) Make new layer above all, and make a 1-2px outline of the sig using the line tool. 7.) Add C4Ds 8.) Add text (new layer, white text, drop shadow right behind the text with black, and set blend mode to Overlay at some opacity lower than 255. Any tips or techniques to try? Thanks.

New project made! Steps on how I did it: 1. Started with a new 800x600 cavas. 2. Rendered some clouds with some roughness on it, semi small scale, color and red. 3. Rendered Shape3D. 4. Use feather at 10 px on sphere. 5. Use dents on the sphere, so it looks a little fuzzy, like a little puff ball. 6. Duplicate the layer a bunch of times and color the puff balls using Color Tint. 7. Filled the whole canvas with the puff balls. 8. Used glow a few times to brighten the canvas, but not too bright. 9. Used crystalize to make the puffballs look a little blurry, but not too blurry. 10. Used dents at full setting I believe.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, I forgot the command to do that!

Thanks!

Thanks everyone:) pdn, I don't really like the signature but I love the game and welshblue, it was very simple actually. I made the background black, used different brushes in different colors, merged them all to one layer, zoomblurred them i believe, used black and transparent for the lines and set that layer to overlay, and just used white text and set that layer to overlay too.

Hey guys, here's a collection of everything I've made with Paint.NET, from old to new. Somethings made here belong to creators of different tutorials, the work is owed to them and is just a re-creation. All the tutorials can be found in the tutorial section of the forums: Signatures: Errrrrrr-thing else: Here is my first piece of jewelry that I made!: Here is my first spacespace!: Here are my first manipulations(I think they are considered that) From this(picture in Samples): To this: And from this: http://naturelap.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/mystic-nature.jpg To this:

Well since I was ignored, I will enter this signature. Seems like forever since I last participated in this But I'm back and well, I HIGHLY doubt I'll win, but here is my newest signature. Please critique mine as much as possible so I know what to fix in the future, considering I am getting back into graphics again. Entering:

I haven't used PDN in a while but here's my attempt your last pic:

I agree with Heat and Stone. I love it Axle:) Creative and perfect. Axle: 3 N00bz: 0 #Winner Axle I wish to enter this, my first NON-render sig:) Don't expect to win but here goes:
