400th post woohoo!! 249329a9.gif~original

 

Please read Gem Tut V1 first  MOD note: Link is broken to this Tut.

OK !! I better start Gemstone Version2 now, or if I keep finding new ways, it's gonna be Version3 :P

This tut should help you draw something like the images below. :)

I have made the tut as simple as I can, These took a bit more time.

Lets get ready: You will need Erode/Dilate filter

1.Fill black background, Add noise (I=80,C=0)

5

2.Dilate (I=7,S=Tri)

6

3.Dup Layer, Flip ONLY the Top Layer Horizontal, Dilate (I=4,S=Tri), Blend mode=Overlay, Flatten image.

7

4.Colorize it as you like(Curves or Color filter or Color tint) I usually Like to use color tint.

Done!!

You should get something like this.

8

With a bit more layers, blending and adjustments, you can get somethng like this.

9

Please follow Gem Tut V1 for rest of the steps. (Start from 10th image there)

And don't forget to feather wehn needed.

No bad for your 1st try.

Use More blur on the "glowing shadow" and make it darker. :)

Hope this helps.

yea that would be awesome for the ring tut, cuz when i tried to make the skull ring it didnt turn out so well on the band, all i did cropped out a circle, cuth out a hole in the middle added a line the back to make it look 3D then i just curved it and it kinda looked aweful, when i get back home to my desktop ill get a pic and show you how desperatly we all need that ring tut lol.

p.s. the skull gem turned out awesome by the way =-)

Oh My gosh! I passed my 500th post without even realizing it!

With posts like these and replying to your own posts, You shoulda pass 500 long ago :lol:

Anyways about the image, Too much black, you should use less, than should look right.

Hope this helps.

Okay, after monkeying with this tut for most of the evening, I've come up with this.

I'm pretty happy with it...didn't use the erode/dilate to make the base image. I found that always turned out too light. Instead I used the gradient/lasso and flip repeatedly method, then tinted it.

Anyway, any suggestions, oh gem master? ;)
