PlanetRenders.net has thousands of renders. A render is a piece of artwork (abstract or not) which is used in a bigger piece of art.

Example:
the naruto render would be the character in the following signature.

Welcome to the forums, AzNFlare. A render usually refers to the main image that is used against a signature background, as in DanPaq's example. It is often a cut-out of a human character, as in Minus-Zero's example. Non-human characters like still-life or abstract objects can also be used.

You can learn about GFX concepts by reading tutorials like this: Full Signature Tutorial.

Thank you for your input guys.
So if I said "Looking for a naruto render" would that mean I'd get an image of just naruto with a transparent background?
