Mr. Rotten Treats · September 2011

Hey there, I've seen some AMAZING work from playeres. I'm looking for a mentor in which I will gladly give gifts to if someone is willing to help me out when it comes to signitures and banners. I have no idea how you can get a signiture that blends with any background (like a graphic) and need some help cutting images and blending (layering) without the original background. I have basic knowledge and use Paint.NET; however, It only goes so far. I'm extremely interested in improving my artistic skills so PLEASE any imput, adivce or tips will be greatly appreciated. Offering: 10x4 Dalmations w. great stats Private gifties: 1-5oak (Maybe a 10x4 husky 2 OAK or a 8x4 goldie 2 OAK. I have a few 1 OAK's that I made myself, so I'd want to keep a color for myself. 9x4 Native American Indian Dogs. (May sell INTACT if your teachings are extremly helpful) Free stat and skill maxes VPC Free breedings So please, any advice or websites (programs) are greatly appreciated!

Exactly like that, where theres not that tacky "box" around it. and as for editing, yes i've edited before. If you mean adding layers and blending; however, if the graphic isnt a "cut out" to begin with.... I have no idea how to make it look "pro" NOTE: For your help, I'm adding a high intell GSD (will not come intact, sorry. If you want one intact one may bid ^.^) I'll add dogs you guys can choose from, may also add high endurance BC's if we can get this all sorted out! (intact, because I REALLY apprecaite your help!)

as for the "basics" what does that mean? I just really need a good program, and if GIMP is the way to go... I'll need some help with the version to download and I'm also interested in different "fonts" because paint.NET isnt the greatest. I'm also interested in adding signitures to the banners that "over-lay" in other words they go just below or on top of a banner :-D

For fonts, I recommend dafont.com (: As for versions of GIMP, just get the newest one from the website(:
