wow no one tried this yet? XD Because it isn't very basic. And I don't use brushes.

It's pretty basic but since you aren't using photoshop it would be difficult to change it to GIMP. The reason no one's doing it is because it is basic, and most of the people here are pretty advanced. Those learning are mostly using GIMP >.> It would probably et done if you post it on one of those websites specializing in tutorials. Not to say don't post tutorials here. I still do tutorials when they intrigue me. So go for it, but you might want to showcase some of those really awesome techniques you do.

I do think there are some people who are new to sig-making so this tutorial is probably good for them. But yeah if you post where you get the tutorials from yourself I think more people might get interested. Just my opinion. But it's nice that you posted this our of kindness for the sig-creating community haha (:
