For me its 30 mins to 1 h, sometimes though I just do it slowly like Eidolon say. The hardest part sometimes is choosing the stock that Im gonna use, so that takes time.

If I'm using a render then it could take 40 minutes until I'm finished and happy with the final result.

Otherwise, it could take me a good hour.

Couple of hours at most. Half an hour at least. I generally spend a great deal of time with signatures. If I can't finish it within the hour, I more than likely call it a day, rest and inspire myself, then continue on. Sig making is an art and it takes time.

I just spent about half an hour on mine while setting up my proflle, though it looks a little clunky to me.

Edit: Wait. That's not right. I was lazy and re-used an LJ icon I made a few weeks ago. That thing probably represents about half an hour's work as well (note to self: start from scratch; it's bally difficult to color match an existing 100x100 icon).

For me, it's anything from 30 minutes to a few hours. And that's for sigs. Sometimes what I do works straight away, as the idea is already highly clear in my head. If I don't have a clear idea, sigs can take longer as they're more reliant on a successful experriment or successful spontanaity.

Wallpapers take a little longer. I'd say 1 hour to several hours. Sometimes they take forever, but I tend to create scenes, and those are actually fairly simple and it's easier to pull an idea off successfully. I find it's easier to fill up a large space if you make the background a scene rather than a regular bg.

I spend anywhere from 15 minutes to hours, sometimes even days(not at one time silly ). I work until I'm satisfied with what I've done, If I'm satisfied and I think it was a good look, a finished look and it takes 10 minutes, then that's that. If It takes a few hours for it to look good, then so it shall be.

There isn't an exact time for me, I mean, if I have a lot of inspiration, and all the effects kinda just flow in, it won't be long at all. If I am kinda burnt out, but really need a sig, then it will take me a while, from, leaving it alone, to working on it again.

Starting from scratch, at least 45 minutes to about 2 hours, and since I'm still a newbie, I'm not doing any hard stuff yet O_o

I've only made like around 2-3 avatars in the past and they didn't take me more than 10 minutes to make because I didn't put any real effort in them since they're small and details I make don't even show up that well

Wow, the longest I've ever spent is like...half an hour. :/
I seriously think I have attention problems >.>

Half an hour not including searching for stocks of course.
I can take anywhere up to an hour. But of course with 100% distractions, such as flipping between tabs to check deviantArt & facebook xD

My current sig took me about ... 20 minutes altogether? I tend to rush things.

Wallpapers, up to an hour I think. If there are a lot of pictures, longer because I have to find the pictures xD
