Here's something I've been working on for a day or two. I like how it turned out. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Nice work, astroschamps04. Those sigs are real nice.

Thanks, BBHD, that looks pretty good. Check it out, everybody... The third and (I hope) final product:

The problem is, there is no good color to use that won't get lost in the background. If you'll notice, there are white and black pieces of the background behing the text, meaning that black wouldn't work either. WIKG - The main thing I would say, first of all, is work on the cutout that you used. That's the first thing you should do to improve it.

Thanks for all your encouraging words, guys. I changed it up a bit here. I think this one is better, especially the part with the logo. The one thing I don't like here is that the parts that say his name and mine are not very visible against the background in white, but I can change that.

What do you guys think of this? The only thing I might want to change would be the Bucs logo, but I'm not sure what to do to it.

Thanks a lot, five. That was really starting to annoy me.

I have a question for PS users: What is this and how do I get rid of it?:

How's this, Thug?

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that at first, too. I dunno. It's up to Thug.

Here you go Thug: How's that?

You wouldn't happen to have the pics used in your sig, do you? Because it would be more difficult to go looking for them again on the internet. If you could find the pics that you want for whoever is making the sig, that would make it a lot easier.

Wow, you guys are going to spoil Nyyankees213 with all these sweet sigs. Anyways, what do you guys think of this sig I made for my Madden 06 Buccaneers franchise? I'll use it if I ever get to putting my franchise on dynastymanager. I didn't know what to do with the text, so I just stuck it vertical on the side. I'll probably change it somehow. I've also got to add a border and some other stuff. This is just a rough draft, if you will, and the final product will have some changes.

I usually use the magic wand first when doing cutouts. The magic wand will select anything around the player that's not the same color as the player, giving you a pretty good cutout. There's usually some part of the background that blends in with the player, and I use a small eraser for that. That works pretty well.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about, too.

I think you need to work on your cropping, Friedman. I love the backgrounds, but the pictures need some work.

Okay, I fiddled around a bit and came up with this:

Well, I can't make the logo transparent because the two images of Ohio Stadium in the back meet in the middle and there's a seam in the middle plus the portrait on the left ends at about the same points on the left side as it does on the right, meaning that if the logo was transparent, you'd see the end of that image as well as the two in the back. I just need to find something I can do to the OSU logo to make it blend better with the rest. I'll keep experimenting.

Kerry and Friedman, thanks guys. The thing about the logo, though; I did get the logo from sportslogos.net and I then shrunk it and I tried to make it look as if it was coming out at you but I guess that didn't come across very well. So, it's blurry on purpose. The un-blurred alternative: Better?

What do you guys think of this?: Comments? Ways to improve?

This is the best we can do for you without the original file containing the layers:

Just made this: I'll be replacing my sig and avatar with football-related stuff once the baseball season is over. Soon-to-come new avatar:

Wow, I can't imagine why that would be. :roll:

Oh man. That is classic. You read Dusty Scott too? The original source: http://porktornado.diaryland.com/030207_7.html
