New Sig/Avi
Take a look at http://www.planetrenders.net
As a bit of advice always use more than one render/fractal, I typically use 10 for signatures, but I always paint for anything bigger.
SET wrote: I honestly wish i had yalls talent. I am worst designer ever. But good jobs with all yours sigs You don't have to be a professional to make something neat. Just pop out photoshop or GIMP or even paint and start pressing buttons. I usually keep away from paint, though- there aren't nearly as many buttons and I might need to actually do shit like practice and plan if I was decent results. Yuck. Eventually, though, you're bound to get something that you find cool and if you like it and it's not obnoxious then… well hell, what else matters, eh?
(There's definitely an advantage if you know how to effectively use your tools and have worked hard, but a guy with a hammer and any common sense is bound to knock the nail in eventually. He might come out with a broken thumb and missing his left tooth, but the job'll be done. This metaphor applies to my previous paragraph perfectly and wasn't just something I started to write, realized it was stupid, added parenthesis, and wrote this little blurb about to distract you. Just accept it.)

Pressing random buttons and hoping for the best won't, in any case, make you great. But it can (and often does) yield entertaining results that are more than capable of impressing the mongrel crew that frequents here.
I remember that! It replaced that god-awful 300 sig I had back before I was good at everything and decided to start making my own.
@Lemur: awesome new sig, I love Link! @Futility: Your sig too! I love Invader Zim!
^^ I love how the characters come off the sig, and your use of transparency.
@Wolf: I like the abstract-ey-ness but the black background is boring :p
@Aldar: Looks good! But too square-y, like mine.. :(
Any suggestions for mine? :D Like I said, i don't like how mine is square-ish :/

Throwing a shit-ton of colors onto a screen/paper/dead body makes it seem… messy. The simpler your color scheme, the easier (and more effective) your works become. Now I'm not saying that anything with more than three or four colors sucks, but it takes more work and a level of expertise to pull off correctly.
While the premise for your sig is pretty neat, I too feel like the red is horribly out of place. I see the reddish/purplish overlay you've got going on through the whole thing, but it's a darker color so they don't really seem to fit. And the red wings are just too suddenly bright. Maybe you could have them sort of fade into/out of the darkness, rather than there being a solid line? Also, it's a tad large.
@Lemur Know of a few sites that have good tutorials on photoshop art?
I already know of tutorialized. However, I would like to know of several other sites so that I can better my imaging ability.

Google is good, but getting links from someone that has GOOD references is better. I prefer not to sift through 2 million pages of trash. I rather know of a site that actually has useful information. That is why I asked Lemur. Do you think I haven't used Google before, Halo?
I don't ask questions that I can answer for myself.
