There are a lot of things that I don't like about this image, but many things that i like. I like how it's incorporated many of the techniques that I've learned, including ones that i will. I like how it's got the teammates. And I like how this is only the start. This is where I see my photoshop career going, but much better. This is just some amateur junk I put together, but when I really get going, i'll spend days and weeks on a one image perfecting each part. Hopefully.

Actually, there's a flaw. If you look at the bigger version, you see that the corners of the letters are jagged! This is actually because the instructions are for a smaller size, and if you use arrow keys to move in photoshop, the distance moved is not absolute but depends on how zoomed you are. In the case of this 1680x1050 file (size of my desktop), I had to zoom out a lot to see the whole thing. So this caused the move to be relatively large, not that I could notice it zoomed out.

Usually I would've skimmed for these types of things before I publish or go back and fix it, but nah. This was simple and short, and it's not too bad. So let's keep it and learn from it. Plus it's pretty cool jagged.

Not bad. Personally, they instructions for this one was awful. I couldn't figure out why most of the things weren't working, so i just did it my complicated-ass way. it took twice as long as it should have. And it's 4am! I hope the other ones aren't this hard.

It looks nice! I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't figure out how to use the texture/grain effect. It was greyed out and I didn't know what was wrong. Hopefully I'll figure this out in the future]]> 40 Dark and Futuristic effects http://psdtuts.pikanpie.com/blog/index.php?itemid=5 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:49:48 -0400 http://psdtuts.pikanpie.com/blog/index.php?itemid=3 General http://psdtuts.pikanpie.com/blog/index.php?itemid=3 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:31:46 -0400
