I’m doing a site for a tattoo artist and i need to make a large section of stretched out human skin. Needs to look like a tanning hide sort of stretched out and pined down. I’ve tried a couple ideas but nothing looks right. Any ideas or tutorials that could help me? ---

hey that looks pretty good! the first one was just nasty though…gave me the chills. i think redViper knows some good skin colouring technics cause he has done some good face manips. if not then i would use the colour selection in PS and just pick a colour from one of the other ones. ---

Bah, too bad I just gave all my fathers leather to my uncle. He had some tanning hide that would have been perfect to scan in, but alas, I no longer have it. Sorry ☹ The black and white image looks good though, just need to add the color and stuff 🙂 ---

Ya i was trying to find pictures of tanning hide or stretched leather but couldnt’ find any. IT was easy to find the body suspension pics though and it should work our the way i want it. Once the color an the nails are in it should looke really good. ---

I just opend up a new PS file 100x100. Then typed in my name and rotated a bit. Then i croped down. Leave the background transparnet and go Edit\>Define Pattern. Then jsut make a new layer on the image u wnat it on. Then go Edit\>Fill and form "Use"select “pattern” then select “custom pattern”. Your pattern should be in there and then u can overlay it or reduce the trasparancy. Thanks for the compliments. Nails are just about in. ---
