Diaz guide to a quick simple sig [GIMP] **

Diaz Gimp sig tutorial by ~Diaz-soul on deviantART

This is for Gimp users that are barely starting to use gimp. This is also for users that want to try a different/style of making simple sigs!

I believe this tut is pretty simple and quick, but it could be challenging for some one that has barely began to use the gimp. Please bare with me, is just that sometimes I have bad spelling; and my grammar is Sometimes horrible as well. I've try to explain this as much as possible, but I'm just not that good of a teacher!

I believe that this could also work in Photoshop, but I don't know I haven't tried. If any one tries it in photoshop I will give them a cookie! I will accept critique, or any other problem that you might have.

Oh and WARNING dial-up users!

EDIT: I just edited the tutorial, I've fixed some of the errors and made the background darker, so the text can be more readable.

Re: Diaz guide to a quick simple sig [GIMP] **

It's decent, but you HAVE to have good grammar or spelling. It's easier to understand. Plus, who cares about losing a few minutes going over it to correct those things? As for you tut, I haven't gone through it, but it seems easy enough to understand. And for the sig, I know it's supposed to be simple, so okay, just don't use that sparkle brush as much, it's icky sometimes. And you text could be improved. Lastly, the render you used isn't very good (it cuts off on Goku's left fist).

A wise man told that to me once...

Then he made his own grammatical error...

Yeah thanks! I should had went back to correct the grammatical errors, I was just in a rushed to get it done, since I'm getting ready for my trip. Thats true about what you said about the spark brushes, that has happen to me sometimes. It is a simple tutorial, well at least for the one that know what he is doing. As for Goku! I don't want to sound like a noob, but I just found out that was Goku!! Yeah the render was provided for me, Like alkarius said, thats his sig so I made it with the render he provided. I just decided to make it into a tutorial since it was simple a and quick!

Thanks for the critique!

Re: Diaz guide to a quick simple sig [GIMP] **

Just a tip for that sort of render then. Either fade his arm/hand out or move him to the side so you cant realise its cut off.

Also, just typing everything into microsoft word takes 2 secs but makes life a lot easier for other people.

just noticed, you made a bit of a mistake with placing the render. ALWAYS make a new layer and merge down, because otherwise, it limits smudging and stuff.

Re: Diaz guide to a quick simple sig [GIMP] **

Diaz, I acyually just relized that about his fist. Can you please move the render over, or smudge his fist so it doesn't look cut off?

Whoops I forgot to include that as a note, in the tutorial... Nah I can fix that when I come back from my trip.

Yes I can fix it, but I don't know if I'll get it to you on time. Since this tomorrow is my last day on ZU... I'll PM it to you.
