Yes, after much struggling and frustration, I found out how to improt fonts and brushes! :D .......It's a breakthrough for me, alright -.-

 

Basically, I made the background with some brushes, then put a frog render over it. Then I put a little bit of the brushes onto the frog. Simple, but, personally, I find it attractive. And about the words, ya, I couldn't think of anything better to put.

Note: I didn't follow any tuts, if you were wondering, and I know what some of you're thinking (possibly): "WTF? Why won't this guy understand that he needs to follow some tuts, he's terrible." If so, and you have no other criticism, please don't even post here.

 

If anybody would teach me how to light my picture without using the flare thing (as that gets in the way), and THROUGH GIMP, I'd be happy.

Atleast this one isn't as flat.

 

The colors don't match, but it is good to know that you learned to get in Grunge Brushes- (as this is what they look like.)

 

But you can't just take a grey brush on a new canvas and put in a render, I'd reccomend making the background colored some form of green.

 

Also, to do lighting, here are steps:

 

1. When your tag is finished, go to Layer>Duplicate Layer

2. Click Ctrl + L then select the copied layer.

3. Set the layer to 'Overlay' as the mode, as where it says 'Normal' usually as default.

4. Select the Blend Tool. Run it across the tag from corner to corner until you get a light you want.

 

I don't think you are taking your time in making these, slow down a bit. Search DA for c4d packs to add some stuff to your tag. Also, stocks are very good in making tags if you have like 3 of them and set soft light on each other.

It's ghost abstract, or something like that, could still be grunge, I suppose.

I agree that the colors don't match a whole lot, but the black and grey support the green and orange (for text).

As for the lighting: thanks a lot, I needed that.

These are getting better.

I like how it somewhat blends, but you have to work out a color scheme and stick with it.

Text needs definite help, and don't forget to blend that too.

As for the Gimp help, I only use it for minor details.

I prefer to use Paint.net, because it's more simplistic and gets the job done well.

Blend the text too? Thanks, I'll try that.

EDIT:

Added 2 more.

BUMP.

Pretty good. One of your best.

Out of all my sigs, the first version here is best, so you're right.
