[Snype]

nice tut...btw where do you get those brushes from?

I cant find any decent grunge brushes at deviantart

[fencepost]

Why not check the Resources section here. Droz and I have converted roughly 150+ sets of Photoshop brushes to GIMP. I'm sure you can find something there that interests you!

Brilliant technique! Very effective. Well, I gave it a go and here's what I got:

Still need to add some text, though. Know any good ones that'd fit nicely?

[Gary2006]

[Gogey]

Hmm, a sig I did for another person at a forum I frequent. It came out strange, and Im not sure why. Halp plox?

Edit: Stupidness on my part. It was my brushes.

[Vortex Lee]

Great tut heres mine.



thanks again

[MikeNY711]

using this I was able to do this



I did not understand the gradient part, so I made it used color balance.

[Gogey]

Maybe you were supposed to brush on different layers, who knows.

Vortex: Good sig, but the text doesnt blend well

[georgiaboy329]

I hade some trouble on the gradient part, i couldnt get it in a certain area, it went all over the background. Anyone know how to not do that?
Here is my final result

Nice, I like the looks of it, and all the links fencepost linked to :) I have only downloaded about 50 or so brushes at this pioint but I will get more.

Here is what I came up with:



^ I added another of the color grunge layers as well as an abstract layer (both set to overlay) and a border set to dodge. But other than that it is pretty much by the tut :)

[omgitzkane]

i'm not getting the grittiness, but i think i will use my attempt for my new sig

[omgitzkane]

[Fantasy]
