Title: 'Cos Grug Asked: My 1st PS Effort
Post by: Roanoke on March 08, 2006, 11:30:13 am: (http://premium1.uploadit.org/magatsu1//Tut_project.jpg)

the rust was supposed to be little more subtle but I couldn't find the Opacity Eraser Brush the tut mentioned. :(
Oh, and some of the shadows look a bit off.

But yeah, tis looking good dude. :yes:
That all from scratch?

My two cents: learn how to manipulate the brushes first with their options. Then start experimenting with layers, their options, and the effects you get from mixing certain types of layer effects on top of one another. :)

Post by: Grug on March 21, 2006, 12:56:26 am: Nice. :) :yes:

You've got the texture side of things worked pretty well. Some of the object bits still look a little funny around the edges though.

But yeah, cool. :D
