What do you guys think? I made it on GIMP, maybe it could be something like a temporary banner or something. Also, in my sig, you may notice the artwork I have been working on. I am learning to use GIMP, and once I am good, I think I'm going to start making banners for anyone who requests. How does that sound?

If you want to ask for a banner right now, I'll probably do it. Just give me a render, give me some text to use on it, and I'll tell you when you can expect it done.

I'm also doing some render-making. if you can't find a render you want, just give me a picture and I'll see what I can do. Note to Intelli: if you want that Minerealm lettering for use in your avatar, etc., just contact me via PM.

One more question: Does anyone here use GIMP or Photoshop? If you do, and you could give me some decent tuts or advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

Please never make another banner.

Ah yeah I'm pretty bad right now. I'm doing a bunch of tutorials, and that is why I asked for some decent tuts. This one really isn't good at all. I didn't really take my time on it, i was kind of rushing a bit. I've never made a large banner before, so all that empty space is overwhelming. I am trying to get better though. It's not like I'm gonna get better overnight. I'm probably going to have a year before I get some good sigs in, although I must say I do like my orange sig.

But again, any good tuts?

The issue isn't the editing, it's the design. Let's look at the first thing your eyes are brought to upon seeing the banner.

Now to the target audience (Not a member of Minerealm, has Minecraft), they will gleam two things from this.
1) Somewhere there is a place called Minerealm.
2) In Minerealm, that guy in the above picture wants to rape you.

You made every single one of those drawings you put in your signature?

I like the banner. Other than the messed up eye it rocks! I hope you make some more!

Hmm, those are actually very good points. Thanks. But I was thinking that we need a banner for something like the top of the MineRealm thread on the minecraft forum. But anyway, thanks for those points, I'll remember that.

Yeah I made them. The green one sucks, but I really like the orange one, and the one with the blue bike.

I like how DragonCrystal did a good job and I didn't look hard enough for a flaw. Keep making banners Dragon.

And if, for any reason, someone wants to use the more 3d version of the logo, it's here:
