Ash Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it 400th post woohoo!! 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 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) 2.Dilate (I=7,S=Tri) 3.Dup Layer, Flip ONLY the Top Layer Horizontal, Dilate (I=4,S=Tri), Blend mode=Overlay, Flatten image. 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. With a bit more layers, blending and adjustments, you can get somethng like this. Please follow Gem Tut V1 for rest of the steps. (Start from 10th image there) And don't forget to feather wehn needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRA Madjik offered another method that I like quite a lot. Check Here, The 1st one will give you this: I say give it a try & thanks to Madjik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonus: Check out my Ring Tut.

I love your gems, they just look awesome!I tried for nearly an hour but just ended up with this:[img...] Not quite happy with it...=/ How did u get this great glowing shadow? oO No bad for your 1st try. Use More blur on the "glowing shadow" and make it darker. Hope this helps.

Ash Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 @ncfan51: quite nice, a bit less white on top might be better If you remember Gem tut V1, I also used a little black on top of the gem.

Angelaz Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
