Diabolicus

I know this is a somewhat old topic, but I think we should do science.

Here's mine: Original: Mine: Stocks used: I used the antique photo tutorial. It's pretty effective.

Great sig! I'll try this soon and post my results.

It's not much, but here's mine. Home Page: Menu Screen: Stocks (the name of the image/icon is in the URL so I'm sure you can figure out which image goes with which stock. ) -http://s3.gadgetreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/iPhone_Signal_Strength.gif --http://icons-search.com/img/vistaicons/quiet_icons_pack.zip/PNG-Hardware-BlueTooth.png-256x256.png ---http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh147/leo10123/animated_music_bars-2.gif ----http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/ev2/content/features/ipod/images/battery_icon.jpg The last one (the menu icons) I dont remember the url that much, but I know that they were similar to this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15756717

Woah, thats great!

I think this should definately be stickied (unless it is already :? This guide gave me great tips!

Here's mine, I did it red because thats my favorite color. 8)

I posted this in the abstract image umbrella but someone told me to post it here so here it is: Carpet!

Okay, I'll post it there and see what they think.

Thanks pyrochild I found the problem. That looks cool!

Will try that out. :wink:

Great, simple tut. I love these kind of effects, thanks.

Nice Code_Ember! I am working on a new project, and it's going really well, better than I expected. The border is the only thing that's tricky. I'll only tell you guys what it is until it's almost done, which should be in a few days. Well I pretty much finished it, but I'll need to clean it up a bit more, change the border, other than that, I'm pretty proud of myself. Original: Mine (created in 1 hour): CC please! (I know the border is bad, I'm making a second chevy logo trying different methods and seeing if it turns out better) and I know the colors are a bit off.

@oma: nice camel!

That looks great, Code Ember. I believe that's WoW, I play it.

Great. Before After

When I use Gradient Bars, it looks fine, but then when I add the new layer and add in the gradient, set the layer properties to color burn, they dont shrink towards the middle, they look like this:

Carpet! Hidden Content: Gradient>Tile Reflection>Stitch>Relief>Frosted Glass>Noise>Crystallize>Unfocus>Clouds>Color Tint

This is a great tutorial, it looks a lot like the "Easy Button" from Staples

I actually really like it. It is big, though.

Do you guys think if I make a tutorial on the image I just posted it would get locked?

This was fun to make, it was for someone else. Do think I should make a tutorial? Because I'm dieing to make a tutorial lol Looks good, but it's kinda hard to read.

First, I draw a few lines (I used black and red since it would be easy to see. Then I use smudge..obviously to smudge it. xD Average blur (plugin) Give it a quick jitter. Add a new layer and run clouds. Then set the opacity to that layer 169 and the blend mode Additive. Give it a motion blur. Now I smudge it again to my liking. Now I add the final touches. I soften it abit, and maybe edit the brightness and contrast. So I turned this: into this: I know that was long but thats my own way of smudging.

My 2nd attempt. I really love the result, I used my cat.

The drawing is very good, but I don't like the text on the side, it's...too plain, try adding some kind of cool effect to make it seem more professional. Good luck!
