@con77: Try the gamerenders.com forums.
I've improved a lot since I last posted some gfx. My newests (rate/comment)(in order from newest->oldest):











Phew... that's about 1 month's worth.
A graphics section would, once again, kick major ass.

Do you think someone of my level could get better using that site, or do you have to be really good before you start doing tuts there?

Well just to make it known, I've NEVER used a tut in my life. I've peeped at them here and there, but never actually made a sig using one. I'm about originality and self-taught skills. However, the tuts there are pretty good, and can teach a lot. Just watch out for becoming non-original and becoming a tut-whore. But yeah, if you want good tuts and honest - sometimes harsh - criticism, gamerenders is a good place to start.

I guess i'll come out as well....i've only use 2 tuts in my life. One was the 1st time I used photoshop, making this:

And the other, to make the bg in this one:


Everything else is self-taught. ^_^ I'm kind of proud, but sometimes it feels like it's halted my progress towards becoming amazing, when I could be rapidly growing by using tuts. I don't know, i guess i'm just being paranoid about it.

I'm trying to figure out a cool bg for a totally black sig....not sure what to do (it's supposed to look all horror-like).

Hey dude, credited your links in the OP. Is it cool that I put them there? I thought that it'd be a help to any one starting Photoshop/GIMP/whatever.

Looks like when a TV goes snowy...just darker. It's nice though, i've been trying to go grunge, but it doesn't look that good with the renders I have. :/
