Oooh, purdy!

I haven’t posted here a while, so hi.

Yes, it’s nice right?

I was just wondering, does anyone have any ideas or any tutorials/links that tell me how I can create those metal realistic thingies in the middle along with those nice looking electric gears and whizes and thingamabobs?

I have an idea: I think they use gradients for the metal and than airbrush/brush to make the rusty parts. And all types of stuff…

I really wanna know how they make that real metal middle-bottom stuff that says “voice or america” on it!

And then there are those speakers on the left, how do I make those :)?

I was also wondering if anyone knew how to make real looking stuff like old radios and stuff.

Like on 24-7medias lanalandis’s site or something…

Thanks :te:!
