Well, you could do this. What you do is print out a card, write the characters, and scan it back up to the website. It's YOUR handwriting. Only thing is, it costs $9.95. It might be worth it if you want to fake handwriting in the most convincing way possible.

Nice, dunno what's goin on with the splatter on the left side though... :? I'll edit it out, thanks.

PERFECT! Right down to the the shadow!

wow dude, I think that second one is better than my heart is! >_> Very nice, good luck in the contest! ^_^

Rewritten. ZOMG. I'm sure that it's 100% correct now. Please keep on with it!

Nice! ^^ I would suggest to everyone, watch the video...I think I screwed up in the text a bit...><" I'll rewrite it tomorrow, it's no problem. Everyone has done it right so far, so...don't worry! ^^

^^" by text tut she means written, not a video. Not the way your thinking. Huh...?

Wow, I like the Joseph one. :shock: Nice. ...I think I messed up in the text tut. Can someone re-write it for me? ><" I WILL LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY

Made a text! =)

...I'm so lazy...

Okay, with this tutorial you'll get an end result like this: (sorry, it's a .png...) PLEASE, please post your results, and I also urge you (politely? xD) to variate it. Thanks! =) And...here's the video. Recorded using Camtasia. -------------------------- TEXT TUT (BY REQUEST): You need the following plugins: Boltbait's Lumography Plugin Drop Shadow Plugin Custom Brushes Plugin (look here)(THIS PLUGIN HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED, USE THE CUSTOMBRUSHES MINI PLUGIN! A splatter brush plugin, available here. ABRViewer to convert the PS brushes to be made usable in PDN, tutorial for converting is here: You'll also need parchment and heart stocks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-) New image (ctrl+n) at 800x600 pixel dimensions. 2-) Open (ctrl+o) the parchment stock and select a portion of the texture, copy (ctrl+c), and paste (ctrl+v) the image onto the Background layer of the new image. 3-) Duplicate Background layer (parchment).:DuplicateLayer: 4-) Use Boltbait's Lumography with the slider set to maximum settings on the duplicated layer. 5-) New layer. :AddNewLayer: 4-) Open the heart stock, select the portion with the heart in it, and copy and paste onto layer 2 of the new image. 5-) Rotate the heart so it's an an angle, about 45 degrees. 7-) Use the color picker tool :ColorPicker: on the edge of the heart on the heart layer (layer 2). 8-) Use the custom brush effect and use the splatter brushes at size 400, with the red color that you got with the color picker. :ColorPicker: 9-) Make it look somewhat like this: 10-) Finish by clicking okay. 11-) Duplicate layer 2 (heart). :DuplicateLayer: 12-) Set the blend mode on the original layer 2 to Multiply. 13-) Set the blend mode on the duplicated layer 2 to Difference. 14-) Use the drop shadow effect with these settings: 15-) Duplicate the un-lomography'd, original background layer. 16-) On the duplicated layer, use Boltbait's Lomography at -14. 17-) Set the blend mode for the 2nd duplicated Background layer to Darken. 18-) Okay...Uhm...I never rename layers, so it gets confusing xD But bear with me: On the duplicated background layer, the other one, which should be the 3rd layer up from the bottom at this point...set the blend mode to overlay. Got it? 19-) Okay, and...you're done! =D Save as a .PNG with maximum quality. Thanks! PLEASE guys, give me credit if you do this and show someone. Not that I made it, just that you did it from a tutorial. Thanks. Also, try playing around with the transparency and blend modes. I got some interesting effects from that. Updated (June 19th, 2009); I just found out that the custom brushes plugin as now considered archaic, so...new link for custonbrushes mini.

(800x600 max dude ><") I really like that though.

Winterfest, you're good. How long have you been using PDN and designing in general? I like that new pic! =D

Updated; Added video tut for my grunge heart piece! GRUNGE HEART VIDEO TUTORIAL

I made a video tutorial for my Takes Heart pic (above) here.

-,- Yes, 100% PDN, background was a photo though, of parchment. Heart was done by a friend which I then edited into that with splatter custom brushes.
