Metaknight Tut. [PS] (****)

We're making this:



1 2 3 4

My Shear Settings

MAJOR EDIT: DO NOT go to motion blur in step 4. I really meant Filter>Blur>Radial Blur and keep the settings on there with spin.

Post your outcomes here.
My Outcome (I went through the steps like a person would do.)

[Hylian Z]

It makes it really hard to read the way you set it out. Especially on the harder steps.

[Ender]

I agree.

I really like the outcome though. I might try it out sometime

[Wired]

What is hard about it?

[Ender]

Th BG, its got that white with the san lines.

It can be hard to read at some spots.

I agree. I really had to strain my eyes.

But actually, Twilight, I believe this tutorial will be quite helpful. I love the effect of the background and have been trying to figure out how to do that for quite a while. >> I'll probably give it a try, soon.

By the way, what font is that, in the final outcome?

[Razekial]

I love the outcome, but as for the tutorial, the words are quite hard to make out on that background. I would also suggest combining it into one part, as well.

I'm probably gonna give this a try.

EDIT: After doing it, I noticed that, the long steps, make them out in to smaller, seperate steps.


Regardless of that, here's my terrible outcome.

I'll try it when I get a little better in PS.

I just started about a week or two ago...

EDIT: Ah screw it >.> I'll try it now.

But, question: In the first step, you change the brush settings... how do you get to that menu?

Viola! o:

I hope your settings aren't different...

[Wired]

That text I used is Tschich. The pixil one is Silkscreen, can be found on DaFont.com.

And Razekial, I do kinda like your effect on the guy, it looks like glass is coming off his face, haha. It's an ok sig.

I'll try to see if I can make the text more readable. I can read it almost perfectly here, but I kinda have to strain a little.

[Gracie]

Not quite like yours, but not a bad tutorial at all. It gave me quite a few good ideas.

Hm.

Mine doesn't have that.

Oh well.

Nice outcome Gracie.

I'm using CS2, so I don't know, your version might have different configuration options.

[Silver]

I just have to say, DarkShadowLink9, that you are a god among awesome people. Here's my end result:

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1168555815

I didn't square the sheared light layer, that's what's different.

[Ed]

This is a great tutorial, DarkShadowLink9. Man, you have improved heaps in the last few months. I'm not saying you weren't good, you were awesome, but now..wow, you're heaps good. Well I think so anyways . Hm, I gave it a go...I messed around with a few of the steps and smudged some more and duplicated random layers alot and then done some other random stuff, so.. here's my not-so-good outcome.



Meh.

Thanks for the tutorial, it was fun.

I like your outcome DSL9, btw. Schnazzy. To me it seems like Metaknight is in water and he's like jumping/flying out of it. Mm hard to explain. But yeah, I really like your outcome.

[Panique]

Mine doesn't look that great... x3

But a good tutorial nonetheless.

[Wired]

I would just like to point out to people, try some stuff on your own. I mean, Panique your sig is pretty good other than you could experiment with the square-wave layer, maybe trying to lower the opacity or moving that layer down a bit. And Ed6, you could try dimming your sig down a bit, seems just a little too bright. Just experiment with your sigs guys, if one type of blending option doesnt look right, try looking at another and pic the best one. ^_^

Thanks guys for the comments too, they really made my day. =]

Ok, so I took a walk in your guys shoes and tried doing the steps and I'd have to say, it is pretty hard to do, but that's coming from me who made it. I made another one and I acutally did what I said to do (in this post) and some of the settings I had didn't work out that well so I just fixed it a bit, here is my outcome doing the sig over again.

[Pyroth]

Here's my outcome. You lost me on some parts but I think it came out pretty nicely. I think it's one of my best sigs.

[Gracie]

I tried your tutorial again...it seems I can't get the square distor effect to last like the rest of you can. XP

[Wired]

Nice sig Pyroth. It looks really cool with those square-wave things, like it's raining fire.

Graice, that isn't a half bad sig. To make the squares last try moving it up a couple layers.

[Keaton]

Wow, a lot of those sigs look pretty nice. I'm gonna have to try it when I get back at about noon. ^^ It looks hard, though.

EDIT: You lost me multiple times. I added a few of my own filters, and it looks a little eye-burning, but for those of you bold enough:



See my lion? =3

EDIT AGAIN: I made anotehr because I'm bored. I re-did it three times before I thought it was really good. Also a little easier on the eyes.

[Rantick]

i got lost on the steps sometimes but youve gotten me into PS now ^^

[Wired]

Nice sig there Rantick, just try an erase the layers covering up your picture though, so it looks nice. For a comment on your sig also, I would change the font.
