Ok well I made this sig ahile ago so I cant remember EXACTLY how I made it. Good luck to the other teams

This is a rather simple sig. I started off with a plain 500x200 canvas. Then I filled it with the tannish color in the back. Then I messed around with the gradients a bit and got that black color in the middle. Then I added the Tony Romo render. I colorized it to make it match the backround. Time for my weakest part, the text. First I wrote Tony Romo in black. Then I wrote it again but in tan and played around with it. Then I added the true Dallas Cowboy part in black and played around with that. I added a black border and was finished. This sig was very easy to make.

Good Luck Sig Makers!

I'm really sorry that I haven't had the time to make a sig. I've recently got a full time job and I just haven't been able to get on the net much or have the energy to make sigs. Hopefully it is alright if I use a sig that I made not that long ago. If it isn't I will do my best to whip something new up. I feel terrible for using a sig I already created, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fit a sig into my schedule come the deadline. Stinger if you could let me know and if I can't use this one then I will try and get something together.

For those that love the NBA, who doesn't love Blake Griffin? The guy has played like a house on fire this season. Now I'm not 100 percent sure what steps I did here as I made it a week or so ago and my memory just ain't that fresh. But I'll try and give ya the details here. I pretty much used a punch of stocks for this one. I started one off as my background and then placed the image of Griffin dunking over top. I kept it set on normal and just lowered the opacity. Then I added the Griffin text in. I then added my main render of Griffin. Followed that up by adding another stock, set on darken and erased some of it. Then I added an exposure layer followed by a photo filter. Then I added a layer of a dark brown set on lighten for lighting purposes. Next I added a black and white gradient set on darken, 50 opacity. Followed that with a color balance. I then applied my image and sharpened it up a bit. Then I blurred it up a bit. Next I added in the blake text and lowered the opacity and finally sharpened the image once more and added a black border.

This is my first sports sig. I chose Terrel Owens. I don't even know who he is. XD
Cut him out. Contrasted him. Grayscaled him. Faded the gray away on the arm holding the football. Surrounded him with rays, and added a backround. I couldn't think of much else to do, but I think it looks decent enough.
