i did this gfx looonh ago, basically took the eazy route but made the creativity do all the work, the picture used was basically already done i jsut added effect no render or nothing, then i changed the colors, added the smaller pic and the arrows and the text of the uisername i was currently use'n at the moment to make it official 

most my gfx i do are crappy this was one of the best ones cuz as i said i basically took the image from some shit i saw on an anime .. added  shit to the background and tweaked it out a bit , i wish i could have done it all from scratch but im not gunna sit here a lie to yall about it, so i did basically what i could as a newb to the gf world but as i said about the creativity that was all me .. its different from all others sigs and its freshly made

bigger version but its not rendered like i did my shit earlier but its big enough to see till i locate where i put my 1st original .. its on like photobucket or soemthing like back in the day
