Metal

In yet another one of my expiriments in photoshop I came up with this metalic like thing that I’m pretty happy with. Needs some tweeking but I just thought I’d show you guys.

Oooo strokes it

oh thats sweet! i havent really experimented trying to do stuff like that in a while. that came out really nice though!

lol
soul - knowing you, I’m just going to assume that’s a compliment
dippy - you should always expiriment, it’s fun

very nice. so how did you acheive that effect? was it just some custom brushes with bevel/emboss type effects added, or there more to it than that?

It looks super cool btw :thumb:

it looks cool, but I reckon you should tone down that lightsource in the bottom left - it’s kind of overpowering! nice work - would love to see a tutorial :slight_smile:

Yes, I only stroke nice things :wink:

This is what I did, I set up a gentle gradient from light gray to white on a layer. Then I did a new channel and made an x with a spikey lookin brush. Then I went back to the gradient layer and applied lighting affects to it. I used an omni light and and set it to shiny, metallic, and fully mountainous. Then I went through and added my own blue details to it and used different blending effects.
