Hey, how's it going? First off, thank you to everyone who works on PDN. it's an amazing program. I've been a lurker here for a while I guess but I though I'd share some of my creations and start in as an active member.
I'm a stencil maker. Later today I'll be posting a tutorial on how to do this. The "PS" tutorial does not work really well for us, and it's a little to simplistic and leaves too much room for error that could ruin your work. "PS" is garbage for stencil making.
All of these paintings started off with .PDN. After my harddrive bombed, I lost all the original renderings so here are the finished products.
Please, feel free to ask anything and thank you for looking.
