Comment it, critique it, I want every little nit-picky detail, I want to get better so yeah. Tell me what you all think. EDIT: I made another version and tagged it with my other name I use. EDIT2: Yet another version, and is so far my favorite. Tagged it as just "MetallicA" instead of "MetallicACDC": Last edited by Spamitarium on Tue Jun 03, 2008 4:09 pm; edited 2 times in total Author {uZa}mr. brightside Physco Killa Joined: 22 Oct 2005 Posts: 895 Back to top Message Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2008 12:49 pm    Post subject: Maybe a thin stroke layer for the text might help bring it out a little more. Other than that, it looks awesome, dude. _________________ There are many sunsets in a lifetime, but only one for each day.

I just put a drop shadow on it and said whatever lol _________________ Author {uZa}Canadian Girl Post Ho Joined: 22 Oct 2005 Posts: 11776 Back to top Message Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2008 2:17 pm    Post subject: Wow great job!!!

I am going to have to mess with that. It's a 14 or 15 layer sig, I could upload the .psd somewhere and you could look at it...Although it might be a bit hard to figure out what is going on.The brush settings I use to smudge are: 36px Chalk brush Shape dynamics: *Size Jitter: 100 *Angle Jitter: 100 *Roundness Jitter: 100 Scattering: *Scatter: 155 *Count: 4 Other Dynamics: *Strength Jitter: 100 When smudging, it is usually 3 or more layers--2 layers of the render smudged, and then a top layer with the render only slightly smudged around the edges to blend it. Mine was actually 14 layers instead of the usual 3-5, but this was because I wanted a certain area smudged out, and to get more layer effects and stuff. _________________ Author {uZa}Natasha_Fatale Post Ho Joined: 22 Oct 2005 Posts: 8153 Back to top Message Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 8:16 am    Post subject: sorry it took me so long to post about this , but I think you did a GREAT job!
