I really like the way the text is shiny and translucent, which gives a nice effect with the electricity showing through from the back. Instead of single color translucent, you're using a translucent gradient. :bigthup

I'm likeing your lightning-fire animation very much!
Its vibrant and alive in a convincing way if you know what i mean.
Good job!

that's stunning! it would look beautiful as a picture without the animation too, but the animation is something out of the ordinary.

The lightning effect/animation was created using the 'Lightning Bolt' script by 'the-camo'.
I've been wanting to use this script on something and using it in my signature design for 'Gimp Talk' came to mind.

If anyone wants this script you can pick it up here... http://registry.gimp.org/node/24748

BTW, I've received some negative criticism about my signature from a blog entitled, 'Rate the signature of the poster above you' on 'Gimp Talk'.

Thanks Merrak, I can't understand why someone @ GimpTalk thought it was so 'terrible'.

Would any of you guys be interested in a video tutorial about how i did the animation in my Gimp Talk signature.

I guess I'll be making a tut then. It wasn't that difficult to do, so the video should be a short one. Hopefully, we will see. I hope I can remember the things I did. :hehe
