How did you start off?

[Chucks]

Well, just thought I should make a thread explaining how we started off our sig-making and share your old, old, old work with us.

Shameful to say, I feel like a retard now, I started because I joined a clan on Runescape. I went of the clan forum and saw all these awesome (well, not awesome now of course) tags from members and decided I should give it a try on making them. Yeah, and then I started looking around on the internet for tutorials like mad.. newbie me

I remember the old days where most tutorials say: grab some random downloaded brushes, make the colour white and slap them on a layer. Then make a new layer and then slap them on again using black. Add a render, somehow try to blend it in and make a colour balance layer, use cloud filter effects on it, add a border and voila, you're done!

I, sadly, has lost my first sig made ever due because a couple of viruses thought they were too fugly. But I do have a couple of really old ones I'll try not to burn your eyes out.

Third or fourth:

I started back in 2003. Joined AAOTracker after I started playing America's Army. They had a signature section, and I got hooked. Through influential members there I found some good gfx sites and went on to be a moderator and designer on a few. I gave up Americas Army. In 2005, the sites I had been on had died, so I joined CX. I didn't much like it, it was too busy and cranky. Gave up gfx soon after. Played Counter Strike and Call of Duty and other popular games with my friends a lot until mid 2006. Then I gave up computer stuff in general. Finally I got an email about this website, and I have become active online again in a few places. I hope to start getting back into gfx as well.

My original work is on my other computer.....too lazy to go to the other room right now.
