Lookin good scythe. You might want to try what I've been doing lately. After a whlie of using the blending modes in photoshop with grunge backgrounds, I noticed that a lot of the times the grungeiness clashes with the actual picture, and sometimes you can't see faces clearly and stuff like that. Which is why lately I've been making grunge backgrounds for sigs, and then cutting people out of the pictures to minus the background, instead of using blending modes. To me, it looks a whole lot better when you cut someone out of a picture and throw a drop shadow on em. It almost makes it look 3-D in a way. Lemme post some examples in a minute. But keep up the good shit!
Here's some examples of my latest work:

^^ (blending modes STILL own )




EDIT: Here's the same sig pretty much, one used with blending modes & one used just cutting Matt out of the pic.

Yeah, I hear ya bro. The thing is, I have Paint Shop Pro which has not even half the things Photoshop has so I'm limited and can't do not even nearly as much things in it. Thanks for the tips though, great work!!

Ahh word up. I'm not too farmiliar with paint shop pro. Although I imagine the program should have all the necessities to make the sigs I make. I don't use any special tools. I just use the regular eraser tool to cut people out of the photo's. It sometimes takes time & patience but it looks really good. The only thing out of the ordinary I use are the different grunge brushes, but you can get those for paint shop pro right?

Yeah dude, I installed a bunch of custom brushes. I'll take your advice and use other tools and what not. Thanks! 8)

Yur welcome. Looking forawrd to seeing what you come up with!
