Torn Metal Photoshop styles


Just created these.  I was tired of trying to find torn or ripped metal photoshop layer styles or even just torn/ripped metal.  I made the texture of the ripped metal in ZBrush and then created a tiling texture out of the file.  The effects that I was able to come up with are really quite extraordinary.  I highly suggest playing with the colors and overlay modes within the styles to get other looks.

Since creating these eons ago - I found out that somehow the link on this page was erased? IDK - blogger snafu. In any case, I've decided that these are worth at LEAST $1.00. If you want them buy be some gum.

Free Greeble Photoshop styles you want, mmm?


These just about killed me.  Seriously.  I had to go through a lot of discovery processes before finding something that actually looked correct in Photoshop and as a style.  I will tell you that there aren't nearly enough tech shapes out there - at least rectangular or square.  Plenty of circles tho.  I did find a process in ZBrush that let me create the greeble texture.  But that was at 1AM this morning and after discovering it I found that my eyes would not stay open so I had to continue that this morning.

Anyway - I hope you ca get some use outta these.  Obviously they look best against a dark background (like space - go figure) but use as you see fit. 


Same stipulation as always - use for personal or commercial projects (t-shirts, bags, totes, a poster, you sig or website) but you are NOT allowed to redistribute in any way shape or form.

Free Gold Photoshop Styles


I have to admit - this is cheezy.  I was watching GoldRush on Discovery and thought that the nuggets were especially pretty.  I was inspired to make a "Gold" style for Photoshop.  After messing around in ZBrush for the texture and then in photoshop - I came up with three styles.  Great for text, shapes etc.  Whatever gold stuff you wanna use it for.

Of course - same license applies, use them for personal and commercial projects.  Not for redistrubution - just link your friends here.  I'm certainly not going to quit this anytime soon.  I'm having way too much fun.

Free Ice Photos

Not that I'm trying to detract from my own posts but I wanted to share some resources (i.e. images) of ice that I've found on my favorite two free stock sites. 

Now free doesn't mean you can redistribute as-is, it means you can use in your designs, creations etc.  However some of the images may have further restrictions - so please respect the photographer and ask if they require that stipulation.


Icicles - Lots of them, from all sorts of angles and in all sorts of weather.  I've chosen three to show here but peruse around, there are so many more.

Icicles

I published some Icicle stock on Turbosquid recently.  Something I've been working on and really never had a place for it.  At first I was going to publish a UI kit that included these (I still might do so), but got a tepid response from forums that I go to.

But the icicles seem like they are what people want more than anything.

Right now you can purchase the icicle 3D files for 3DS Max on here for $15: Buy Now

or the image pack for $10: Buy Now

Suztv - Best Of the Web

Okay peeps.  I' am going to attempt to give you a weekly "Best of the Web".

This is my interpretation of links, items and other stuff I get during the week.  It will be a mish-mash of digital painting, motion design, 3D, design and other stuff not generally talked about in one blog post.  I'll try to limit the findings to 10 but who knows how long that will last.  Please take a look, peruse and have your brain go ape-shit like mine because I don't limit the amount of stuff that goes in.  It's a little odd at times, you begin to see correlations from one genre to another.

Anyway below is my top ten from the past week or so.  Enjoy!

Folds and Wrinkles Photoshop Brush set


Yeah - you know and I know that creating fabric folds and wrinkles for any project can be the most time-consuming task.  Whether it be for a concept design, in-game character outfit (Second Life, WOW, ZWINKY) or for a design that includes fabric this task sometimes can eat away at the valuable hours of your day.

Well no more of that.  I've created a very unique set of brushes that should, at the very least, ease your pain.  Folds and Wrinkles is a set of brushes that will enable you to create lovely draped fabric, wrinkled vests and subdutaneous folds of flesh on whatever your working on.  These are NOT image stamp brushes - they are dynamic and meant to be used with a pressure sensitive tablet.

Here is a sample of the brushes if you are a little gun-shy about purchasing - the sample includes 2 of the brushes: SAMPLE BRUSHES HERE

You can purchase the entire set of 27 brushes by clicking on the link below:

Quick example video:





Here are the example images for the brush set - most of the brushes are dynamic but I have includes some photo-stamp brushes for use in your designs as well.  Please feel free to use them on personal AND commercial projects.  However - you may not redistribute them without express written permission.

I'm so excited! (Firebrushes for Photoshop)


The other day while perusing the internet (something I do frequently - go figure), I decided to take a look at how my brushes on Brusheezy were doing.  I was impressed and somewhat satisfied with most of the numbers (3k, 5k, 10k) until I looked at the total downloads of my firebrush set.

Wow!  Holy cow, just WOW!  Over 90k!!!  That was just flat out cool as hell to me.

Originally I had created the set because I noticed that although there were "fire" brushes - none of them were dynamic and pretty much were useless to those of us trying to "paint" a scene and I wanted to sell them and possibly make a few dollars here and there (the asking price was $3.00).  However that plan changed when I found out that someone had ripped the brushes and were offering them for free on a virus/trojan laden site.  Soooo - I decided that I would offer the set for free.  Not just because the brushes were ripped, I wanted to circumvent anyone from downloading them and then getting their system infected by a virus and then associating my work with that problem.  Also it was the right thing to do.

I would absolutely love it if those brushes were downloaded over 100k - possibly by next year?  That would be awesomesauce!  So peeps if you know an artist that works in Photoshop or if you are an artist and have friends in the industry - please pass along this link.
