Sorry if I'm infringing on any reserved space here, but I have to say; using this guide I made my current signature. It's simple, and it's fun. Obviously I have a ways to go before I'm anywhere near the same league as yourself and other signature makers, but your tutorial really helped me find the right apps and use them properly.
Anyway... thanks for the brilliant tutorial, xXTXx. .

Is it because there are too many "Download Buttons"? If it is, tell me, and I'll tell you which the right one is.

Wow nice guide!

I actually learnt making sigs by myself after numerous fails and i have come to a point i am satisfied with my final products.

I am also currently working on a sig project for my guild. Basically now i can do most of the stuff but still have a decent amount of problem with cropping :P

Any advice please?




Out of thanks..
