    Bizor, please try to comment on other peoples work and then post something for yourself. :)

    @Cortez, It looks pretty good to me although i would prefer the orange gradient to be toned down a little bit. Maybe you good add a little C4D behind the render?

    @Bizor, Actually looks pretty nice, the C4d's flow nicely and the colors work well together, i would suggest adding a simple border though, it would add to the awesomeness :D

    @Falken, doesn't really seem like you but the texture is great :lol: Although i do not (like Chrisco) like the rings. And im sure your going to add a spectacular Nebula/Galaxy thingamabob in the background B)

    @Bizor, A neat idea you have. Although the (tiles?) themselves are a little blurry and AA. Otherwise its a pretty cool idea. Maybe think about adding some water to it?

    Gazek, There is already 2 entries so i will go with the Ptuz Vs. st1cki3 matchup.

    Ptuz, I like the overall grungy-ness of the sig but the text doesn't fit very well and the right side is rather plain. I do like the concept though.

    St1cki3: I like the clean approach on this one although it is a little plain. The border is a fantastic touch also. Therefore...

    Ptuz: 0

    St1cki3: 1

    Here's a simple water effect that I created a while back but have yet to post

    boltbait.hmm.png .

    Step 1. Make a new Canvas. I choose 450 X 150. But it's really up to you.

    Step 2. Render Clouds at the default settings.

    step2-2.jpg

    Step 3. Next, Render Clouds with the belnd mode set to difference 5-7 times. (Do Not Duplicate the Layer!) (Press Ctrl+F)

    Step 4. Invert the colors. (Ctrl+Shift+I)

    step3-2.jpg

    Step 5. Color with curves. (Feel free to mess around with this setting.)

    Step5-2.jpg

    Step 6. Next run displacement close to the following settings. (Experiment, please.).

    Edit by EER: Displacement is a plugin - get it from this pack: MadJik's Plugin Pack

    step6-2.jpg

    (Feel free to mess with this to give you a better effect.)

    Step 7. (Optional) Duplicate your final result and run a zoom blur around 50 px, set the blend mode of the new blurred layer to lighten for a "Light Shining" through look.

    Estimated Time To Complete 5-10 Minutes.

    Final result!

    Hope you liked this tutorial.

    Feel free to post questions and results.

    Have fun!

    This is probably one of the tougher decisions I've made in sig battles.

    Since CSM's sig is 100% (which i didn't know before!) I'm going to have to give it to him.

    Clockwork, your sig is actually really good so don't get discouraged. B)

    CSM: 2

    Clockwork Demon: 1

    First piece is your best, but you need to work on smoothing out your edges, try feathering, AA's Assistant or something along those lines that should help.

    I clicked on this first post expecting to see a nooby post involving polar inversion, but I'm impressed, you definatly have some talent. For a first image 8.5\10 The Gradients at the bottom are a little out of place, and the text is way to blurred, but otherwise, nice job.
