hey doom...... may i make a suggestion...........? borbers always put lot of depth onto a sig............

black lines of 5 or above pixels on either side might look nice...........

also, if u have a nice grunge brush, few black grunge effects here and there might look nice.............

but nice tuts............ thumbs up........... :)

[Do0Mire]

^^Firechameoleon. Im going to download some grunge brushes right now. I only have splatter brushes.

[elpacco]

[Do0Mire]

where do u download brushes?search gimp brushes on google. You should find some links there or go to deviantart.

few sets of grunge,abstract, vector brushes will come in handy...........

also look for esplosion, splatter,blood,metalchaotic brushes............


ps. if ur using gimp 2.4, u can also use photoshop brushes..........

Save it as .jpg

[Dark]

Save it as .jpg

I would save it as .png, it's saves image transparency and has better quality then .jpg ;)

I was following the tuturial. My question begins at step 6. My image is in a white box. Yours is "carved out". I don't know if that's the right terminology or not. But how do I get my image "in a box" to look like yours?
