    -open a new document 400x150, transparent background
    -select a render and place it where you want it in the sig
    -use the magic wand to delete background of render
    [​IMG]
    -take another image of the same character and posistion it in the sig where you want it
    -delete the background
    -duplicate this layer
    -image>adjustments>desaturate
    -filter>blur>gaussian blur about 2-3
    -now, lower the opacity of this layer to give it a pale feel (in my image you can see a bit of green around the edges but you won't notice it in the end)
    -move this layer beneath your first image layer
    [​IMG]
    -create a new layer
    -fill it with any color and set the blending mode to "color" (in mine there are a few brushes don't worry about them)
    [​IMG]
    -use some tech brushes to give it a...tech feel
    [​IMG]
    -new layer
    -select the rectangular marquee tool
    -make a small rectangular selection
    -fill it with a darker color than the one covering the image but the same hue
    -edit>stroke 1 pixel color:white
    -lower the opacity of this strip until it looks good
    [​IMG]
    -add some text.

    I don't like the text you used. The text is fine but shouldn't be so big.

    probably 5 - 10 mins....usually simple tech doesnt take that long to make...especially if u use brushes instead of making ur own.
