Self-help [To everyone who posts for sigs]
So to all you posting in here who say I cannot make my own sig, YOU ARE WRONG!
I used to be like you, wandering around, bashing my sig making skills, when one day I thought, I will do something about it. And so began the sleuthing that made D!ck Tracey look like a 3 year old (random simile) Anyway I found 4 videos (all by the same guy) that really helped me take my sigs to the next level. Better than before but not the greatest I've seen.
The videos are on Youtube: Here are the links, the guy speaks quietier and such... if you don't have the things he is using, pause and download from this site (at the bottom of post) they have a lot of everything but you have to sign up (^_^)

To get C4D and other random renders this is the site I used and have come to love.
| Code: |
| www.planetrenders.net |
For anyone who makes their own Sigs, good on you! You can watch the videos too, you may learn a new trick or something, or you may already know all since j00 iz 1337 h4X0r! lol
I can add a link to my .psd file, for anyone who was curious as to how many layers I had after this tutorial... I merged like 4 layers so add 4 to the file number. (I also didn't use all layers in the end but just made them invisible) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CIOBN69U (PSD file (photoshop))
[So I just looked at the file and noticed that layer 8 is all the layers underneath it put together with the exception of a few blacker areas and some C4D's I didn't use (for some screwed up reason) so all the layers underneath Layer 8 are not needed... but they are there or something like that.]

XD lol nice sig mabus...following tutorials is prolly the best thing you can do when you want to learn how to make sig...wonder why i never did that lmao
of course when you work with C4Ds and fractals its not that easy either, that you just take a render, a fractal and put it all together (as i used to think lmao)....you have to pick your C4D carefully...i used to make sigs with brushes only tho i started adding fractals lately...never liked them but i have to say they can do some neat tricks XD

I love fractals but, I usually go for C4D's because there is a lot of them... the guy in the video explains about using them[C4D's] (erasing parts you need, picking ones that fit with the image [direction, color] and all that jazz). I wouldn't be able to use fractals, because I have little skill and too big of an imagination or future thought (like i want it to look like this, so I need this picture and that picture, but finding the pictures is hard and actually implementing it is even harder!)

yeah sometimes it can be quite annoying till you find a good fractal or C4D....i think thats why i was so hooked on brush work lol i could just create what i wanted myself using them and didnt have to search for a good fractal lol

yeah... I've never created brushes so... I've only ever used brushed when I need some specialty stuff like cracked earth for cracked skin and blood splats,etc
Though I love using the pen tool. By far the most useful thing anyone can learn in Photoshop!
