sig - thought i'd give it a try

I figured with the current trend of everyone getting sigs i'd jump on the wagon and give it a try. what do you all think? Its the first time attempting to make a sig AND the first time using photoshop(yeah yeah i know!) so please dont grill me to hard! any ideas or advice would be cool too. i couldn't for the life of me figure out how you guys get a pic(ex: a solly or pyro) to overlay on an image without it looking completely obvious that 2 are seperate...

...i know it has to do with layering, but everything i tried just looked like crap. i'd have a black background and then paste a pic in with the bkgrd from that pic and it was ugggleee. anyways enough babble

you can get you pics from the map C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\tfc\GFX\vgui
you ony need to convert them to jpg because they are tga files, you can't open these ones. You can use the program wally to convert them.

i made mine with paint, just cut and paste and then take the paintcan, choose the color and press your mousse1 and the hole background will have the choosen color.

you can get wally from:

Well i've been messing around with photoshop quite a bit and i already made another sig. is this one better or worse..which should i use.

and yeah i know i could've used the edit button, but i thought i'd just push it to the top instead.

erm, i also just noticed that the bottom scroll bar is active on this thread...is it my sig thats doing that because it doesnt look like anyone who posted has a long sig.

2 hints, filters rule and can make anything go from crap to really cool looking crap. and start new work on a new layer as to no mess up the really cool looking crap you already have done. oth erthan that, sjut screw around with all the diferent tools and brushes.
