~.Don't be a hater please, I just felt like making this for fun and to help the people that have not a lot knowledge of making signatures. .~
1. Open up a signature size canvas (mine's 400x150).
Then get your gradient tool and get a nice color from your render and put it as your foreground color with black as your background color.
Then open up your render in a nice position, after that make a gradient stroke with the color you picked as your foreground and black as your background, now to make a gradient stroke (make sure the shape is radial), drag from the center of the position you put your render then drag it to the left or right just halfway (make sure you did this on a new layer and make sure the new layer is below your render layer).
2. now, duplicated your render twice for now. you should have three total render layers now.
Okay, now hide all your layers except the most bottom duplicated layer and your background layer.
your layers tab should look like this now:
3. now, for your duplicated render that is not hidden smudge it with your diagonal star (25) brush.
Only brush the edges and brush in one direction with the same direction for each side (make the spacing 4.0).
Unhide your next duplicated layer and do the same except with the opposite direction.
Set both smudge layers to dodge or anything of your liking.
Now smudge away the things you don't like with a soft brush.
4. now unhide your final duplicated layer and before you do anything else, duplicate it and hide the one you just
duplicated.
Now for the one that is unhided, go to distort -> shift with the settings of
shifted horizontally
shift: 20
then go to distort -> ripple with default settings except
make it ripple vertically.
Now set the layer to dodge and the opacity to 49.6 or whatever you like (the mode dosen't have to be dodge, it can be whatever you like. But dodge makes it add more color and
it gives it more brightness.), and unhide your other layer.
5. duplicated your layer twice for the layer you just unhide and then you should have three.
for the bottom of the three layers set it to multiply -> the one on top of that set it to the opacity of about 50.0 ->
now set the layer on top of that to screen.
6. Now open up some sort of stock that you think will give it a nice effect, set it to a nice position.
Set it to any mode you like and erase or smudge the parts you don't like.
7. Add another effect in and do the same thing, edit it to make it good like and set the opacity down if you think it's too bright or etc.
Then add a c4d (you can get one by going to planetrenders.net and search for c4d) then edit to make it
look better and set the mode to whatever you like or just leave it like that.
I set down my opacity of the c4d and smudge it to make it look better.
8. I added a light source by creating a new layer and got a circle soft brush with the color white and
clicked once on my render, but you don't need to do that unless you want it more bright (make sure
the scale of your circle soft brush is big like about 4.00 if you're gonna make a light source.)
9. Add a text and position it to a good place, then add a border and voila!
