Like That?

Looks good. But perhaps narrow it down to two pixels?

Edit: The border, I mean.

Nice sig!
The only thing I don't like so much is how you used that font... however I'm happy seeing one artist more using GIMP :)

Mmm, I don't know a thing about GIMP or other design programs, but I feel your sig is a good one. Besides, it is Cowboy Bebop, so it can't be bad...

thanks :) i'm still getting used to it. and quint, i don't have many fonts at this moment (still some work left after the reformat) and i'm still going to be using photoshop as well, i'm going to try to use gimp alongside it

If you need fonts, you just have to go and download from "dafont.com" :ok:

Very good one. How did you make the scanline effect?

i had another go at a CB sig in GIMP and this is the result:

@fifth: it was using the "video" filter in GIMP (although i can do scanlines in photoshop as well)
@quint: i know, i went there anyway and got a couple that fit the cowboy bebop them a bit better
