dude what is ur problem all you do is make bad comments about me and everyone else you think you own this place you need to stop and alot of other people think so too!

Well, he's right. It's not a complete tutorial, it's pretty basic, and we really don't need a sticky on it

but i mean other times too like, he doesnt help me at all! all he does is say bad things about my stuff while others disagree..

Getting kinda off-topic, but yeah, i second that. Constructive Critisism(sp?) are keywords. People don't like coments like "bad" and "sucks." Thats just spam [-X

Back on topic: I Like The Tut! Good going!

well all it is getting a brush, brush a few tmes, puting a render and adding a colour balance, no need for a sticky

Ha, first you were frustrated with how to use PhotoShop. Now you've written you're own guide

Nice guide, anyways. Grundges are supposed to be *moderately* easy to make

Still good info

BlinX · **Posted:** June 18th, 2005, 9:31 pm

Aye thanks bill lol! funny eh? actually if you havnt already read it i got ALOT of help from another forum for this guide i acutually new how to do this because i had another program with layering and stuff the brushes were already in the photoshop so the guide was kind of easy to make and i KIND of new how to use photoshop now..
