Just a warning for you guys:
Any signature you upload with a render from a game/music artist/etc, is apparently copyright infringement.
Even if it's taken from a site like planetrenders.net

I just had 30 signatures deleted from my gallery because of that.

That's right. You need to wait for that kind of stuff to become public domain... basically you can do pics of Beethoven and it'll be ok

This is DeviantArt we're talking about. A properly-categorized piece of fanart may be deleted for copyright infringement. Merely repost with a disclaimer.

Fanart being copyright infringement seems kind of...over the top.

Does that mean I have to add a disclaimer for my 3D models, since they're guns in real life?

No. You made the models by yourself, entirely from scratch. The sigs, however, were using other peoples copyrighted work (photographs, images, etc). Make a sig entirely from scratch or use your own photos and images and they'll be fine.

I guess..
..but then fanart shouldn't be copyright infringement either.

..Well..
..Most fanart on DevArt is that "yaoi" garbage, so I wouldn't really mind lol.
