Anyone know how to make these...

I am wondering how to make the circle(ovals) type things that have lines coming out from the edges. Sorry for the vagueness but the name just wont come to mind right now. strider has a few in his main page image.

anyone know?

thanks in advance.

i'm gonna guess no one has a clue what i'm talking about, or no one knows how. apparently 17 of the people fall into one of those two catagories...

I am one of the ones that does not have a clue what you are talking about. Try to be more descriptive man. Then maybe someone might be able to help.

alright hold on. i'll circle the little thing..

it kinda looks like a gear, like in a watch, or a gear on some
kinda machinary.

Looks like a picture of a compass to me.

But go to www.google.com and search for 'gear making tutorials' or something like that, and you'll find out how to make gears. Then maybe you can apply that, and learn how to do that stuff.

man, that guys' site is awesome! tons of complex art. I'm amazed.

this tut will show you how to make a cog, then getting the results you want will be pretty easy.

no, u can make cogs. thats not a problem. its like the rings that you see on a photo lens. the thin rings with the lines extruding. there has to be an easy way of doing that without manually drawing each line.

Doesn't look like a cog to me - but what do I know!

Its probably a vector object created in Illustrator or something. If youve only have Photoshop you can still do it using numeric transform. Just make one "spike" on a new layer, rotate transform, and then repeat that transformation as many times as you need (i think the shortcut is alt/ctrl/shift/ T). Then merge all the layers you made together.
