(angel_of_nature, your current set is really beautiful :3 I don't actually know how the GIMP interface works, but I understand it's not unlike Photoshop, so hopefully it'll help~)
YAY A FRANZY REQUEST =D I'll get right on that. There's a ton of adorable Li'l Franzy fanart here, by the way, so I guess I'll just fetch everything from there~

XD It doesn't fit together all that well, but the images were just soooo cute.
Oh, and I actually ended up making the sig dimensions smaller instead of bigger. I hope that's okay =)

C4D's are sometimes really annoying to find. It's sometimes easier to search in dA for the kinda shape you want rather than hunting through a bunch of them, like "phoenix" or "flower" or whatever. I remember once searching "Gardevoir" and coming up with a really beautiful one XD

Angel_of_nature, that is absolutely STUNNING. I hope you continue to make beautiful graphics :3
(Also, text often looks better if you set it to Overlay or Soft Light, although at times it's illegible so you have to duplicate a couple of times or give it a Colour Overlay in Blending Options. Or whatever it's called in GIMP =D)

Made this set for myself at papermario's forum, ChannelOtaku.
Still needs some adjustment tweaking, but it'll do for now :3
IT STILL DOESN'T FIT TOGETHER... rawr. I need to practice this.
Edit: I'LL STOP MAKING LUKE THINGS WHEN YOU STOP MAKING IT SO EASY FOR ME:
Yeah, it's lazy and I made it in about 10 minutes. I am just so tired of seeing all wishy-washy beautiful bishie fanart of Legal getting it on with Flora or Layton or himself (!?) or L or whoever (although at other times I really really revel in that fanart, don't get me wrong). This is what happens when you watch one too many episode of QI and go on a patriotic rampage, I suppose.
I would so love to hear him say that. Just once. Or Layton. Or li'l Luke. Or Edgeworth. JUST SOMEBODY. THIS IS WHAT BRITISH PEOPLE DO.

I tried to follow it, but I got a bit stuck and confused; I think I have a different version of photoshop to you. And I'm not as awesome as you.
Here are the 2 results, if you want to see it...
The first one I loosely followed your tutorial, and for the second one I tried to follow it closely... but it doesn't like similar to your lovely signature.

Ooh, that's very nice. Just a small little thing - the right side of the sig looks a bit plainer, and there's a little bit of block black colour (and we don't like block colour), so I would recommend either adding some more light brushes on Overlay/Soft light or adding some more bright fractals like in the left side of the sig.
Another thing I'd recommend is trying to either blend the render into the sig a little bit more, or separate it a little bit more (confusing, right?). If you're going for making it separate, add a Stroke or something; if you're trying to blend it in, more feathering and blurring layers are good. The shadow is a very nice touch =D
Also I've seen angel_of_nature say this a lot, but borders always make things look nicer and more complete =) In Photoshop there's a Select >> Border option; not so sure about GIMP. I always make my borders 2px on Overlay.

Krissi~
It was hell trying to pick a colour scheme for this. You know, I made the entire thing thinking that it would be sparkly and blue, and in the end I slapped a gradient map on it and thought "Hey, this looks much better". Then of course I had to go back and change the feel of the whole thing. ARGH.
I hope it looks alright... suggestions?

Before Midnight comes and seriously critiques, here are my two cents on the sigs you made, Magician:
Spoiler: Comments
I didn't really look closely at them afterwards, I really should of.
4. Thanks for that! I never knew to add a border. I'll try my best to make a really good one.

1. I didn't realise the render had those dots!
2. I have downloaded more brushes!
Thank you for telling me this.3. That's not the version of Photoshop I have, but now I know what to look out for. Thank you!
4. I didn't know everything needed a new layer... you're not being patronizing.
Another thing; is there a graphics crit thread? That would be really helpful...
And, here's a newer signature, following your tutorial. This time I tried to follow it perfectly, but the render still has dots around it.
And I kinda ruined it, with the motion blur being around it. I don't know how to fix it.
Edit: The 'True Love' signature is lovely!
And the Kristoph signature is really nice.
And I downloaded a bunch of fonts.

If you've been doing everything on a new layer, then you should be able to easily erase the part of the motion blur that goes off the sig =) Same with the tiny lines further on along the sig.
It's alright if the render's got dots around it on the outside like that, since you'll be wanting to blur most of the outside of your render anyway. Duplicate your render and apply a gaussian blur or something to it, then go back to the original. Select the transparent parts on that layer that aren't part of your render, then go into Select > Feather and apply a feather of about 10px. Then press delete, and the outside of the image should be blurred. This method helps blend the render into the background =)
Oh, and you could also just give it a stroke XD
Same advice I gave to angel_of_nature - text often looks better when set to Soft Light or Overlay. You may have to duplicate it a few times to make it legible.
I don't think there's a graphics crit thread... Maybe it's just me but I don't really consider making graphics an 'art'. Unless they're actually mind-blowingly amazing/creative~<3

@Dawn/Midnight: Actually, there's an easy GIMP equivalent for borders (Edit-Stroke Selection) but you have to select the image first with Ctrl+A. Oh, and the new sig is lovely~ Even if it is a bit plain, the plainness matches the feel of the whole thing. =D
*shocked expression*
I... did not... know that.
I use a Layer Effects plug-in which has a Stroke function, so that works, along with drop-shadow, and such.
Well, I'll oogle your graphics for a while longer if you don't mind, Midnight. They are simply delish!

Ah, I see. Never was one for additional plug-ins, other than brushes and fonts. And it's not surprising that you didn't know, the only reason I learned that was because of going through a couple of GIMP sig tuts, so it's not exactly common knowledge. So...keep up the good work~

Sorry, Angel~ ^_^' I've got it now =D
Actually, in Photoshop the Border select option is a tiny bit different from Stroke - it has a little feather on the inside, which looks very nice. I guess it doesn't make that much difference though~
(All of this translating-kinda-stuff is silly... the world would be a better place if Photoshop was free and everyone used it =D )
Things I wanna make: (yeah, other people have request lists. Not me XD )
-- Something orangey and Layton for the Lost Future
-- Something pink and flowery about Byakuya. 'Cuz he's just that adorable.
-- Something lovely and shippy and Fire Emblem (INNES X EIRIKA WHOO)
-- Something about my wubsy Joshua and his uberawesomepic Jesusbeams
There's nothing Ace Attorney on that list XD

Today at school I was contemplating crack pairings with my friends, and we noticed that if we paired together Apollo's dad with Franziska's mother, along with a few other cracky ships, basically EVERYONE is related. I'm partway into making an Ace Attorney family tree, containing as many people as possible. Nothing graphically beautiful about it; just for the lulz XD

As a fellow Photoshopper, gotta say, you're showing nice levels of improvement with each piece. Your blending with the characters and the background is getting better every time.
