Thank you for the tutorial, I really hadn´t used Gradient Mapping before :).

I think images are back now? At least I see them now again, had to renew my Photobucket subscription .

Barbieq pretty much already said all I wanted to say but I just have to say the new signature is so cute!

Thank you Welsh and Helen, it means a lot coming from you ! I like the signature competition because it is nice to try out some ideas there, as for the votes I usually don´t get upset about that - it is what it is.

Thank you for another great tutorial !

Thanks for the tutorial !

Click here to view or download it I have made couple of tutorials of wings I thought could maybe help out some beginners: ------------------------- First the bat wings. You will need following plugins for this: AA´s Assistant Drop Shadow Feather and Bevel Selection

We like your images dark and moody too . To get the competition going again I challenge with this, original was bigger size (1920x1080).

Well done the record player, love the background setup and color too. Your work it always pleasure to watch .

Welshblue - really feels like the pieces are flying, also like the black and white color scheme and the lighting. :star: :star: DrewDale - great idea, well done 3D effect, only the sphere feels like a bit of flat. :star: Welsh: x15 DD: x10 Welshblue wins

I see a lot of black color on text, did you use a grey shade to write your text as tutorial says?

You are really good with painting in pdn and portraying people, well done with Barbie and Cool Guy too .

A bit late comments but - great idea with the layered fall leaves, I love the fall colors. I also like the swans, minimalistic setup combined with glossy pearls works great.

Welshblue - really like the flowers and the simplicity too but the plain black background is a bit boring for me Sand33p - all fits together well, a lot of detailed work Welshblue - 1 Sand33p - 2
