• Easter season is here! Here's what we have going on at The Bell Tree:
    • The egg decorating contest is back! Join TBT’s Fifth Egg Decorating Contest, now with two distinct categories: decorating and painting. Entries must be submitted by April 9th.
    • Starting this Friday at 7PM EDT, follow clues to search for eggs around the forum in TBT's Thirteenth Annual Easter Egg Hunt. New eggs will appear throughout the weekend and the hunt ends on April 6th!
    • Customize your profile by spending bells on any of our three recurring backdrops.

My first Sigs using Gimp

Very good for a starter, you have a grasp of the basic structure of a sig, but this is definitely not enough to please the high standards of TBT. Look at some tuts, get some better renders, and try to incorporate your renders with the background a little more (rather than putting them in front of a fractal render or whatever that is). In my sigs I like to start with a gradient in the background, then work my way up through multiple layers, and add a few C4d renders here and there (C4ds are very useful too). Another tip, try playing around with the layer modes, it helps blend your sig together a lot I've found. The best way to get better is to practice, and play around with things until you get a satisfying conclusion. But over all this is a good start!

Here's my first sig (I did have some Gimp experience prior to this btw)

Pretty darn good, especially considering I could never figure out how to use Gimp so I went back to Paint =O
