Signatures?

It's almost like a ritual to me. once I've seen an anime character that I like I just have to make a sig from it. It's just that they're getting a bit boring (repeating the same tricks)

For example

Spoiler:

they are all the same

And there are more tricks and effects that I repeats several times

does anyone know some other, new tricks or tips?

I'm sure you could find some techniques on YouTube. I personally love the feather effect where it allows images to be blended into one another. Also, some basic photography / scenery artwork / textures can be used to create nifty backgrounds and effects. I could show you some examples of some effects but my creations aren't too amazing so try those out.

I don't know but I have to say I totally like your new icon + sig! Pandora Hearts yaaay! 8D

@AmyAnn: I shall take a look at youtube! never thought of that ^^'

@Yamiko: Thanks for some reason I put in these playing cards I think of pandora heart as Alice in Wonderland So that's how I got on the idea for the playing cards
