Just to show an example to you Pigggy. Hope you find some of this helpful
It's kinda hard to explain Paint by words alone, so I created a little picture.

The original pic is the one in the top left corner, and using the square cutout tool, I just took away the entire background. That's the easiest way of removing jpg compression (if you aren't going to use that exact background). Then, you may copy that text (with the frame) to any other background pic, by choosing the pink as your secondary colour - and make it transparent by clicking on the bottom copy selection in your toolbar. That was what I did with the random palm pic.

Of course if you want the best results you should go over the text and edit away all the compression dots inside it as well - using the colour extracter and the pencil. Which is a time-consuming thing to do, but not as difficult as it sounds.

That was what I did with the top-right picture with the word "kill". That's what would have to be done, if you wanted that exact background. Basically use a colour of grey/blue/pink/green that is in the nearby area, and pixel over the dots (especially around the lettering) and make a smooth background.

Awesome work!!! The Silent Hill sig are really great, you´re one of few that can say "Paint doesn´t suck"

Here's some new material.
Very simple, but that's what I'm going for.

I might try puting a space between the letters.

Its kinda sharp, but nice.

[Blood-Pigggy]

First one I made the letters were spaced, but it looks terrible.

And I mean honestly, it's great. I like the font too. Everything's nicely simplified to black and white and, well... Mona is Mona and Max is Max!!!

Thanks guys.

Here's a screenshots from a first person adventure game I'm working on, in the game, it looks alot better, but I had to save this as a Jpeg to upload it, so the image quality isn't so great.

Interesting but, its nose looks like a rock.

Only if you're blind Moogles

My braile screen must be faulty.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Another screeny, everything done in GIMP, this one shows off some of the dialouge.

[Tom Henrik]

That is definately a unique style

[Blood-Pigggy]

Is that good or bad.
