they're all variation of the same pic... the third is ment to be used as a wallpaper... the second one is my favorite, though (it took me FOREVER to get the glass effect right) so what do you all think? ...not much else to say beyond that i think i spent WAAAAAAY too much time on photoshop last night :D

Cool-age. (As Pauly Shore would say). Amazing what sleep-deprivision can do to some people. :D Have you or could you make a tutorial for that one, if you wanna. Very very cool.



P.S.- Is there a tutorial on how to make that film type thing in your sig?

blah... if you mean a tutorial for the glass effect, you're out of luck beacuse i don't remember what i did... i was just randomly trying effects until i thought it looked cool... though if you mean just for the general shape, that's easy: i cheated. :D there's a plugin i downloaded called "sinedots" that does that... here's the site address: http://www.philipp-spoeth.de/ ... but it takes awhile to get used to the controls for it. anyways, for the film-strip look, just line up a bunch of really small white circle on a black backround... or just download a morse (sp?) code font and press "e" repeatedly.

Whoops, that messed up. Anyway I used that filter for my background shown here. Reply to it In my "My First Background" post.

I like your images, especially the ones with that grid in the bg..but I think you should lose the lens flare..they're overused..and throw away reality in your pic...

otherwise, nice work
