 Hi! Enjoy this tut i made :thumbsup:




First, Go to a render site and pick out a pre-cut render. (i use planetrenders.net)
I will be using a Sora render:

Save it onto your computer. It will be pre-cut already when you open it in GIMP.


Now, open up your GIMP program and press "new". This will open up a new document-
Choose the size you want your sig to be:

Now, Go to-
filters > renders > clouds > different clouds-
this will open up a menu:

Customize your background and how you want it to be.


Now, select a brush and use the "shading" tool.
This will just make the clouds a bit different-

Just hold the brush and play around with it until you like what you have.


Now, press "ctrl + L".
This will open the layers menu.
create a new "white" layer-
Then select the paint bucket. Choose the color you want your background to be-
paint the white layer that color, then go back to the layers menu-
select "color"
This is what i got(and the other two steps before)

Now, open up your render that you saved earlier.
Scale the image so that it will fit your sig:

Make one transparency layer so that the render would not be the same color as the background.
Move the scaled image to the spot where you want it to go-
After your happy, anchor the render down:

Then open up the layers menu. Make a new "transparency" layer.
Then go to-
filters > renders > nature > flames
This will open up the flames menu.
Customize and resize your flame the way you want it to be:

To put the render over the flame, just move the render on front of the flames layer.

To add more flames, just open up another "transparency" layer and repeat those steps above this.

Then you can download a font from Dafont.com.

This is what i got: (i added 2 different flames)

After you get this from, save it as -nameexp.png-
If you just save it normally, it won't merge all the layers and you can't upload it on imageshack or photobucket.




If there is anything you didnt get from this tut, just post any questions and i will answer them :thumbsup:
