I am still pretty new at this, but I've started designing signatures using "The GIMP"

first one does have a render. i dont know what you were smoking, but its in the very left part of the sig. its one of the shinigami from Death Note i believe. its some sort of skeleton anyways.

anyways, they are good for a beginner sig. i'd work on improving some of the quality issues i see with some images you chose to use. some came out fuzzy for some reason. also try looking at tutorials to help create depth. some sigs up there have interesting concepts, don't give up you're doing great IMO.

Pretty nice
I'd get rid out of the scan lines on tags, it kills depth. Your ideas are quite good and I do like the result, maybe some sigs look a bit empty..
Good job.

It was intended to be more of a subtle sig..
Cheers on the crit guys. I seem to have gotten myself in the habit of spamming all my sigs with scanlines.
Rofl.

EDIT: Oh, would anyone be able to suggest any good tutorials for gimp.
;D

Very nice for a beginner! Try doing some more with out the scan lines like Laura suggested... that's the only thing I can see wrong... if you can even call it wrong because they're so well done.

Nice beginner work. Yeah scanlines kill depth. Agree with frozenjelly's comments improve the quality and the depth.
As for tutorials
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
http://gimp-tutorials.net/
http://www.gimptalk.com/
^ I would recommend gimptalk. it's a great forum and proof that gimp sigs can work.
http://www.gimptalk.com/tutorial/blo...t-34218-1.html
http://www.gimp-tutorials.com/tutori...orial-370.html
^ also lots of sig tuts.
And of course Deviantart has hundreds of gimp tutorials like this one:
http://geocillin.deviantart.com/art/...orial-98592701

Best of luck. I would recommend getting photoshop if you can. The sheer capabilities are better.
