and youre done.. hope you enjoyed this tut


please comment

This is your first tutorial? It's pretty awesome, much better than my first one. Might want to include more pictures though.

yeh more pictures would be great cause some photoshop designs get bored reading the tutorials and not seeing each outcome if you get me but nice tutorial.

I agree it could do with a few more images. It's much easier to follow a tutorial with images to reference the major steps. Nice first tutorial though!

Cool result, but yeah, people like images and not too text
Thanks for adding

thanks everyone

yeah its the first tutorial, sorry about the lack of pictures

Very nice!

Why dont you use that for your sig? Looks way better than the current....

No stick to what you have oneshot, that other is just another grunge sig in the masses.

yep

i like " unique " sigs, not common ones

my outcome:

Very good tutorial, I used the wrong colors for my backround though, lol.

Nice Tut.. Alltough i would like to see some more images (screen shot's) ^^.. And Some better explaining..

Yep more screens on your progress. A guy new to photoshop might want to try it out but doesn't know what you're talking about.

sorry again for the lack of pictures.

It's nice for a first and gives a decent outcome. I suggest adding more pictures, though.
