    Well, MS Paint r0x0rs. YOu can't go wrong with it, but one reason the sigs look good is cause they're limited in size, unlive other forums.

    BTW: <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" target="_blank">The GIMP</a> is free and pretty good from what I hear.

    Gimp is basically an open-source version of Photoshop, rather like <a href="http://www.openoffice.org" target="_blank">OpenOffice</a> is an open-source version of MS Office.

    If Gimp's as good as OO is, I'd definitely recommend it.  Haven't tried it myself, as I have PS7.

    Cool...

    Yeah, about GIMP, there's a few filters I cant figure out how to duplicate from Photoshop, but other than that, it pretty much is utter r0x0rn3ss.

    It's also, from my experience, a tad easyer to use than photoshop, and, I think, a bit more system-resouce friendly...

    But that could jsut be because school computers=###.

    The GIMP, IMHO, is a bit less user-friendly than Photoshop. But I don't feel like springing any cash, so hey, I'm stuck with it.

    yes yes demo, just keep telling myself that. Anyways using PS7.0 I made my siig and avater by myself in a few minutes, however ask on the sig topic place. There are more badass artists who hang around NS too long and sit and make sigs-check forums-make sigs etc. Ask and you will get a few sweet sigs to choose from(I think they compete <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> )
    As for me I am proud of my homemade stuff even if it sucks compared to thier stuff.

    MSPaint > Photoshop

    I was trying to edit a crosshair sprite... and it was taking me months with photoshop because of all the crazy transparencies and stuff... then I did it in 1 minute with MS Paint.  I'm NOT kidding.

    MS Paint is just about perfect for situations where you want to have control over each individual pixel, which is useful especially when dealing with fairly low-tech video game art(sprites and the like), but you would be insanely hard-pressed to make a good-looking sig image or the like using MS Paint.  It's just NOT gonna happen <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, I find Photoshop much easier. It has higher zoom levels, configurable cursor styles, much greater colour control and layer support.

    For instance, you can do this in Photoshop a lot faster than in Paint.

    Drawn pixel by pixel, then with one extra layer too add the lighting effects. Some of the textures were done using the limited pattern ability in Photoshop, but most of it is done using either the line tool or a one pixel pencil tool. I never finished it though, due to it taking slightly longer than my normal methods. Oh well. Doesn't look too bad, perhaps I may make another one day. I certainly love the style, we shall see.

    Squirrel: This is not the Gimp help forum. We have not helped you because we cannot help you. Good luck getting it to work though.
