I've improved ALOT. I know it isn't a very good background, I only have paint (cant do it with GIMP, it iritates me )

so, comments?

btw, if anyone knows if there are any good backgrounds out there, if you want to, give me the link?

MS Paint VS Photoshop....

Hmmm...

-ahem- lol. yeah. Its good for a first sig. What rubypoke said, better font, better background. Also, the 'Bug power' is kind of messed up, maybe move it down into the bottom left corner so the beedril's face isn't messed up. And save it as a .png. Better quality.

To be honest, I have no idea what GIMP is, besides an image program. I learned how to make graphics and code them at neopets. Then I got tired of neopets and moved here I had PSP once, except I had no idea how to use it, so I stuck with photoshop. And I've never tried making sigs on paint. Actually, making sigs isn't that hard, unless you make skull kid sigs.

Its very nice for an mspaint sig, but the text is choppy and positioned wrong, also, the background is pretty boring, but I like the simplicity, though you can add effects and styles, I suggest you just experiment with gimp, and for the background, Its your sig, so I think you should make a background. a stroke, better fonts, better styling is neccesary, nice sig though

I tried making one with a background. How'd it turn out?

I also tried getting different fonts, i'll use them shortly.

this one's also on mspaint.

*Starts Howling with laughter!*
No, no...it's not because of your sig, that's great. But if you look at Flareon, it looks like he's...you get it. Other than that, the only thing I can see is is that the pokemon have a feint outline of white. I guess you got them from Pokemon Elite 2000...Try using Pokebeach.com. Here's the link:http://www.pokebeach.com/kensugimori/pokemon/
Hope that helps.
Oh, BTW. The white outline is natural. On Paint, it's basically impossible to get rid of it. Even with Photoshop it's hard to.

LOL, I see what you're trying to say. Anyways, I'm already using Pokebeach.com

Oh. Okay. Sorry about that. If you can, try to get Photoshop. In my opinion, that's about 50 times better than Paint.
Oh well, C ya!

where can I get Photoshop? eg. Target.

It's called a matte, Because gif only supports full transparancy or no transparancy, half transparant edges are oftenly made white or a bit gray, I often just go to layer style, and apply a stroke on the inside, so all matte is gone

The sig is... ... odd, I must say that I actually prefer the first one, despite flareon's bizarre pose.

Photoshop; Buy it, or use your brother who works at a print design company to get it for you ( like me , though chances are your brother doesn't work at a print design company ) , but you can also.. *cough* download with bittorrent software*cough* or just download a trial, for 30 days. but I guess trials are useless if youre not planning to buy it.

Ya. My dad says that my version of Photoshop, CS 8.0, is worth a ton of money. It's extremly hard to get. JD, what version do you have?
Also, try using this, Megahorn.

IT's a pretty cool BG. Try using it with certian types of Pokemon. Steel would work nicely here too.

I have whole creative suite 2, wich includes Photoshop CS2, ofcourse Imageready CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe indesign, golive, designer, And yes, It's pretty expensive, it costs about

The text is hard to read. Thats my only problem. And it looks weird covering torkoal. Move the text to the bottom left corner. Maybe put Flareon on top of houndoom?

Oh, and I use photoshop 6. And occasionally imageready to do animations(my animations suck).

What store do you get Photoshop at?

EDIT: btw I tried making a sig with that background, not so good.
