Gorgeous arties and textures!
Had time for a challenge entry this week (Yay!) and used Estrela's tut for it.
Couldn't resist the allure of turning JR's version of Hawkeye into a comic!sigpic

Some info on how to make this sig
I'm sorry but a full tut's not gonna happen for this sig. As I feared, I didn't save how I created the cartooned SG-1 layer. My PSD only contains the end result. I also can't find the brush or textures I used to create the star burst and grid effects on the left side of the sig but both of these should be easy enough to recreate on your own.
What I can provide is some info on how I did the green medallion and the glass button like thing under the text. Both are shape layers.
The following info is for PS users and is spoilered for size.
Spoiler:
The green spiky thing that I'm calling a medallion (for lack of a better word) was made using the polygon tool with a layer style. If you've never worked with shapes before, they can be quite versatile. Refer to this image for the next set of instructions:
If your polygon tool isn't displayed on your toolbar, click where your custom shape/rectangle/eclipse tools are located (refer to the red circle on the image provided) to pop out the menu where you can select the polygon tool. Now you need to play with some options. Click on the down arrow on the top toolbar next to the custom shape image (refer to the orange circle on the image provided) and use the settings I've provided above.
Now create a new blank layer and create your shape by clicking and dragging on the layer. (The size is already set according to the options you've just changed.) Move the shape to where you want it. In your layer palette, double click next to the layer's name to change the layer style using the options provided below.
And here's the gradient used on the gradient overlay
The SG-1 button was made the same way but using the rounded rectangle shape (no options to set for this one!) and the layer styles provided below.
And here's the gradient used on the gradient overlay
Add your text using this font and a new layer with a black border around the entire sig and you're done.
I hope this has made sense. If not, please ask.sigpic
