Description
Here's an old tutorial that I created a long time ago on how to create bullet metal which I'm reposting for Learnuary.One of my favorite things to create are metallic objects that reflect the world around them.
I don't state my brush setting on this tutorial because I have them stated in another one, but I'll tell them to you now(photoshop 7.0)
Make sure you go to you BRUSH PRESETS and check "Other Dynamics". then click on other dynamics to get more options. Make sure that "opacity Jitter" is set to Pen pressure. This will allow your tablet to have the soft pressure touch that you want it to have. Also I set my brushes with a little "shape dynamics". "minimum Diameter" set to about 60% to 100%.
For smooth blends, sets your brush hardness all the way to 0% hardness, and move the spacing to 30%. this will give you a nice smooth blend brush.

Hey dude. I saw this tutorial ages ago and thought it was great, and i've used it several times.
Anyways, i was on AdsOfTheWorld today and noticed this ad:

And i recognized your bullet. Did you know that they've used it?

I have no idea about this what so ever until now. What is this ad for anyway? If it's a real ad for something then I'd probably be pissed but if it's just a spoof ad, then I would just be flattered. But either way whom ever used it did not ask me if it was ok.

Can I use the image of the finished bullet in a deviantSTAMP if I give you credit?

If credit is given where credit is due, then I don't mind. Go ahead.

Wow damn awesome, would this work with other metal too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It depends, not all metals are tube shaped. Some are flat, some are dome like, some even have dents in them that can mess with the reflections. It depends on the object. Your best bet is to look at the real thing and study it. Drill it into your head until it sticks. And that generally goes for all things.
