Default Someone help with a sig?

I got a bunch of new pics with the truck as it is right now. Wanting to finally get a sig put up. All this time and I've never really learned how to even post a pic on the site. If anyone is willing to help out, lemme know, I can send pics or help me post them up.

Shoot me a PM with some pics and an idea of what you're looking for and I'll see what I can do.

I won't be able to work on it until after work though!

I'll have to get my pictures together and send them to you KB. I don't really have any ideas, just looking for a clean sig, nothing too over the top. Just like to have something showing the truck a bit. I like TX though how it just shows the truck on a black background. Most of my pics have something in the background, might be clean just to do something like that.

The little characters and such on my sig are "tech brushes" that I downloaded years ago. I don't think that particular website that I got them from is still around, but you can search "free tech brushes" and there should be tons of sites where you can download them. Basically it's just a brush design that you use.

As for the border thing around the sig, I do this:

1. Create a new layer, and select white as your foreground color.

2. Select the Polygon Lasso Tool from your toolbar.

3. While holding shift, make a selection like the one shown below around your sig. Holding shift will keep your selection at 45* angles. Keep dragging around and click the beginning point to end your selection.

4. Inverse the selection. Fill it with a Copper Gradient.

5. Set this layers blending mode to luminosity.

6. Now add a bevel in your layers blending options to either make it look like it's popping out or sinking in.
