How do I get these backgrounds? Do I download them like brushes/fonts or where do I find them? I understand what you meant generally though and thanks for your help!From what I have seen a sig is mostly made of:
- A "render" (aka, main subject), retrieved from the internet (Google images, etc...)
- A background, that can be done from scratch but often retrieved from the internet
- Some text (font is usually retrieved from the internet too, see dafont.com)
- Various artistic additions (clouds, lines, gradients or else, "else" being often added via brushes: splashes, bubbles, lightning, stars...). This part is difficult to describe because this is where the art is. Anyone with bit of technique can slap Boba Fett's helmet and a moody slogan on a galaxy background. But for a canonical sig this would just be the beginning....
