good one for the collection,

dark - easy on the eyes, how i like it (no bright yellow or other colour that makes u wanna pour acid in your eyes)
smooth - well smooth tongue.gif
simple but attractive - i like them simple

okay, here's a quick tutorial for photoshop 7.

1) make a new document
2) press "d" to reset the colors
3) filter -> render -> clouds
4) filter -> sketch -> chrome (mess with the settings a little bit, i used detail 10 and smoothing 0)
5) filter -> sketch -> bas relief (the settings i used were detail 15, smoothing 4, and light top)
6) filter -> blur -> radial blur with the zoom setting to 100, quality best. i did this twice.
7) press control-u, check "colorize", and slide the hue/saturation until you get to a color you want. click ok.
8) filter -> stylize -> glowing edges with the settings on edge width 2, edge brightness 6, smoothness 5.
9) press control-u again, but this time do NOT check "colorize". slide the "lightness" bar up to +8. edit: and REDO THE COLORS, missed that part the first time, sorry folks.
10) filter -> pixellate -> mosaic with a cell size of 2.

you're done biggrin.gif

Betaguy your tutorial is seriousily flawed and unprofessional,

I followed it EXACTLY and recieved this.

Actually... you DO press colorize again, then find the colors you want, and it will be as you like smile.gif

EDIT: Actually, I also find it nice if you add a slight gaussian blur after setp 9. It makes it smoother, I didnt do step 10 either.
ЀVÌ£ Ïñ Ðì§gûï§€
yea step 10 doesnt make mucha of a diff.

who here after doing the glowing edges thing gets 2-3 colors??

i think betaguy is still hiding something from us tongue.gif
ЀVÌ£ Ïñ Ðì§gûï§€
ok guys got it biggrin.gif

its like i said betaguy was hiding something from us tongue.gif

9) press control-u again, but this time do NOT check "colorize". slide the "lightness" bar up to +8. edit: and REDO THE COLORS, missed that part the first time, sorry folks.
