My new sig from Your Comments
btter than your last one....
just take a look at more of the tutorials in the Tutorial section.
i would recommend blending border slightly with the color theme inside. Also, if ur going to use a tech border and army theme, it is widly common to use tech details to enhance the image. Just add a phiew lines here and there, circles at a very low opacity. place them right and it'll look a lot beter.
The Shape of the Border is Nice, but it just looks too flat. Try doing this:
Duplicate the Border layer,
Select "Alpha to Selection"
on the Boder Copy Layer, Fill the selection with white
set "Layer to Image size"
On the WHite Layer, do a Gaussian blur Effect (Blurring by 8 pixels works nice).
Hide the white layer,
Bump-Map the Grey layer on top of the blurred white layer. That should give it a nice, rounded, feel to it.
If that doesn't show up well, Make the white layer (even painting over the grenade), gaussian blur it, set it on top, and set the blending mode to "Multiply".
Let me know if this works.
Regards,
Jack
Its alrite, good for one of you i suppose ^^
For some reason I think this sig is great. All you need to do, is not pixelate your text so much, that font looks so much better when it's smaller.
Use GIMP.
(Sorry. I never Pass up an Opportunity to Plug GIMP)
