Well, whatever you do, all your sigs look awesome Could you possibly name some of the ones you use? I bet most are from deviant art.

How do you do your backgounds? I dont think they're done with brushes, but I really have no clue.

I blend using layer mask and then gradiant tool.

If I could get them, that'd be awesome. If not, it's still cool.

I updated it again. Any other comments or suggestions?

Updated. I also found a site with some decent pictures of Tabata (click photos). I also found Tim Battle and Austin Jackson at the same site. The only problem is that all the photos are zoomed in WAY TOO CLOSE, so you might have a hard time working with them.

Updated again. Does it look better with the Nationals logo behind Dutch or in the middle?

Updated. (You might have to clear your cache to see the new one).

Just made another sig (I'm aiming to create one for every National to hit a homer right after they do). Its not a perfect sig, but it's definitly one of my stronger images. I couldn't think of anything to put in the right side, so I left it blank. As always, comments, tips and suggestions are awesome.

I just made this sig in about twenty minutes, but since I have to go row, I figured I'd submit it to y'all so I could get some feedback. Theres still some stuff I need to do, and I'm still not fully used to in PhotoShop, so take that into consideration. Thanks!

You should chagen "whose manny" to "the better Ramirez" or something like that.

Or drag the file into the brushes menu in photoshop

For both of my sigs, I've used fonts from dafont.com, the first one is Marcelle and the second one is Base 02

I'm really starting to get addicted to this... I made this one in about half-an-hour today, I think the brush-work is stronger, but I ran out of ideas for the left hand side. Anyway, Tell me which of mine you think is better, and comments and tips are very welcome.

Dom2662, how did you make the background in your sig? Obviously it will be different since I'm using PhotoShop and not GIMP, but they should be similar enough for the same general process to work. And thanks all for the complements. Lets hope I can figure the rest of PhotoShop out!

Thanks for the advice, and good point jhath. The missing hand was actually my attempt at using a gradiant to fade the image, but you're right, it's cooler if you can see it.

This is really my first attempt at a sig, and one of the first times I've used PhotoShop. My brush skills are pretty weak, but I should get the hang of it. It's also a little too dark, but I'm definitly proud of it as my first attempt; Any comments, suggestions, tips (donations?) etc. would be great.
