 spornax: to get it to look like rust, just make ultiple layers of brushing and play with the colors till it looks like rust

Viktor: I think there is an effect like that for PS, but I don't know of anything that will create that effect for Gimp, Good luck :)

 save as a .png they are higher quality, but it can be hard to keep it under the kb limit, like memorex.png for example

hey vader, i made a sig for myself looky! hehe it's kinda crappy, i'm still a novice, could you teach me how to make more realistic siggys, like blending sam fisher form splinter cell with an actual splinter cell background? i wanna make siggys for my clan, i'm just not sure yet. oh and tried almost 76 time with rust thing, after 9 hours, i quit.

 geez, 9 hours? your dedicated, I really don't know anything about the rust look, its not very common, but stay away from the "take a render and flip it and put it on both sides" thing, just use 1 render that takes up space, and the the text doesn't need to be super flashy, most pros just use default fonts, and you can add some effects to the text too, so just calm yourself on the text and use one render

hehe it's really 8 hours and 59 minutes, but 9 hours sounds more ominous, >.< I tried the one render thing to cover the whole sig, but the problem is when i resize the render, the picture always come out reallly crappy (without the chain link) but when i put on the chain link, the picture i want comes out nice, BUT the size i wanted is disregarded so i can't really put one render, unless of course it's ok to put the render with the chain link without some of the visible details on it, cuz it'll be cut for sure, I try to make sigs only about 100X300 i don't like 100X 500 i think their too big.
