Signature Tutorial
 
6 Attachment(s)
Have you ever wanted a signature like all the cool kids, but didn't want to steal one? Then this tutorial is for you!
I'm going to stay platform agnostic; it's up to you to figure out the small intricacies of your image editor.

1. Find a picture of your favourite video game character and put it in your signature.

2. Add cool things, like guns and lasers. Use the paintbrush to draw the lasers in a highly customizable fashion.

(Elick to cnlarge)

3. Change the colour theme using gradients.

(Brick to enwall)

4. Add lens flares for improved dramatic effect. Now it looks like the laser is bursting with energy!

(Stitch to embark)

5. Find a potent quote that expresses your unique personality (Playful or deep? You decide!). Add the quote with proper gradients and distortions. Don't worry about text visibility, it's more important that it looks lush.

(Flick to yarn)

6. Slap your name somewhere, even if you're making the signature for someone else. We don't want anyone to forget who the artist is, now do we? "Made by" is optional.

(Mick to LARP)

7. Optional: Pick a colour, select the paintbrush, hold down the left mouse button, and induce a seizure. The result should look nothing short of chaos. Now you can run various filters like "waves", "Gaussian blur" and other delicacies to get a completely original expressionist abstract piece. I'll leave examples as an exercise to the reader.

This concludes the tutorial, now you can marvel in the attention you get when all the people of the land pilgrimage to admire your stunning work of art.

This thread is built of fail, at most it managed to put a tiny grin on my face, but it was gone faster then anyone would notice.

You punctured my severely distorted egocentric delusional happy-land, you mean person.

Didn't add a border or anything, it isn't very good but I had fun doing it.

With your signature you do not have a lot of trolling opportunity here
