Looks good from here.
Study the SOTW entries, practise on new sigs and read up on the techniques from the tutorials.

You'll be a Master in no time, SP.

ok do thes tutorials ? work with PS CS? thats wot i use

PS CS is what most people here use and the tutorials are based around it. There are also others that use GIMP, Paintshop and various other gfx programs.

With the tutorials, try to get more than just step-by-step lessons. Try to understand the reason why you might use a particular technique and how certain techniques work together and influence each each other. The tutorials here are very good, but they will not teach you everything, the most important thing is your creative mind.

a little better, but yeah most tutorials are universal from Adobe PS7 and up so you won't have a problem I suggest going to gamerenders.com and read up on their tutorials you will get alot of information on what to do.

Here are some guidelines for sig making that might help you:

- Brushing (try not to use just one brush set, and one layer of brushing).
- Depth (good depth can be accomplished with good brushing, good choices of layer modes, brightness/contrast, levels, etc).
- Render (try to have it take up most of the sig).
- Color (Try to use more than one color balance or hue/saturation adjustment layers. You can use the clouds filter, along with the difference clouds filter for a multicolor feel. You can also use gradients.).
- Blending (This can involve color. Apply a layer mask to the render layer. Grab brushes similar to what you've used for the background. Brush around the render, where you think would have a nice blending to it.).

Hope this helps.
