It's stupid to make a background first.  Just throw that one away.  Unless you're making some gay all grunge sig, you work the background around the image.

Hey Death, long time no see, looks ok to me it would probably suit BFVietnam, depends however on what your gonna put infront of it.

@ blackout: yep, i would do something like this too
definitely a lighter color than the backround.

@ mezmorize: depends on what u want to come out better.
in some pics the backround "is it", in some the pic in front is the main part.
or maybe just text? (like blakjax)
there r so many possibilities of making a good sig, so keep on going  ;)

hello :) yes it has a foresty/burger (i guess manowar) feel to it

i would add white to it personaly

i added white all over it, but put on overlay so it just lightened up the image and not so dark, check it out now

thanks for the background tip, but i mostly just do sigs/banners all grudge, a few renders here and there but i will keep in mind the background tip

so in the above sig i finalized it wit my name and lightening up, i personally like it

i also made a grudge banner, what do you all think of this

--edit-- its  reduced image here so here is direct link, also the text on bottom, should it be more inline wit the top text?

I actually wouldnt use abstract for a background as its just really simple and well boring..

You could just use a normal pic add simple things and still make it look 10x better then abstract, like I did here;

yeah that does look nice, i try some

but the thing about abstract i like is the roughness and eye appeal (in my opinion obv.)

and the 3d it can have. smooth pictures are nice aswell ^^
