Using a motion blur filter, and adding a lens flare is really simple.

@the Dark Mand'alor:
I just use the erase tool.

Doesn't Gimp have something lik a Pen tool, to create a path and use that to cut out your figures or whatever you want.

Its far more faster and preciser then the Eraser tool.

Another tip would be to look for something like a Layer Mask, its called like that in Photoshop, no doubt Gimp must have a similair option.


I see more people found the filters, I'd suggest to take your pictures to higher level and only apply filters on certain parts.

Just using a filter on a picture is 2 seconds of work...
Then again we all have to start somewhere :p

EDIT: To bad I only have Photoshop else I would've offered some help :)

The sig pic's are really good! BTW I'm gonna make a sig for myself, and I was wondering how to make something face the other way. I need some Hammerheads for it. Here's what I've got so far: http://i40.tinypic.com/x208kw.jpg)

To face it in the opposite direction, use the layer invert selection. I'm gonna make something as well.

Yeah, I did it! :D Now all that's left is to find out how big it's supposed to be to be welcome on the site, and then It's showtime! Here it is, tell me what you think: http://i42.tinypic.com/264018y.jpg)

so mand'alor what do you think about the sig i made and the one im working on. what color should the words be in the new one?

07-02-2009, 4:34 PM

Yeah, it's hard to see it, but I don't want the characters to covered up either. So I did it this way. Here's a longer version: http://i41.tinypic.com/2vv4z8h.jpg)

Aw, man! Now I won't be able to pick one. But I do have an idea for another sig, using the same layout as this one, except that Revan stands alone in the middle, with Malak on one side, and Bastila on the other. And this quote:

You are all things, Revan. Savior, conquerer, hero, villain. And yet you are nothing.
