google for me 50% of the time, rest come from FREE resource packs, like you will find in the resource area,
for sigs, ive seen alot of sigs with backgrounds around this forum adn i was wondering how they got their backgrounds.
Mostly downloadable brushes and default filters people use. or (if you are good enough) make your own brushes, patterns or even draw your own background. -
For me my backgrounds are just of random images that I search on Google 100% of the time. I just take couple of pics from online and then blend them in together into a big LP then cut it down using the best part and go from there Zain
Errr...Well that depends, if you see a background with buildings or something usually I just use a full stock or multiple stocks and blend them together.If you see an abstract, grunge, vector, etc. type background then I made it.I get get the stocks from different places, google, gamewallpapers, forums, photobuckets, etc.
