Or instead of telling me your secret resources can someone make me a sig?..

I'd like to know a bit more too (but I'm more of an animated artist, if you know what I mean :D)
However, if you've been a Photoshop user for some time (unlike me) I tend to find your skill will increase with experience. I noticed things started to get better when I found out how to use the cutting and lasso tools with blur (lots of feather) then merging it all together.

All you need to get started is an idea, get hold of some good source picture files for background and stuff, and the rest is how you place it in the sig.
Then play around!

hey xalias i am wondering how you make you art, and such and also where and how you started to learn it (i loved your airmine logo with the zoom and the windy effect)

[Sir. XaliaS]

First I found a nice free font that looks cool. Everybody expects Arial, or Times New Roman nowadays so that would be a good start.
Large Uppercase letters with smaller uppercase letters looks good.
Then add some colour gradient, outline, shadow, engrave or extrude.
Add effects with timeline, and then zoom in.

I hope you got all that. :)
