I like the background/wallpaper tut, really simply and gives a good foundation for building something on our own.

Thank you.

But this makes it even better TY !

ShadowPride In reply to ShadowPride [2007-03-19 16:31:03 +0000 UTC]

Btw i don't get why your have to do merge visible..
You don't have to, to get colors in it. Just do ctrl+B and then do what you think is fine. And no layer merging. Now you can still erase parts you don't want after you did the coloring.
And uhm... ctrl+U and then figure out what color, it doesn't work with me
But nevertheless thanks a bunch

Kazyole In reply to green-tk [2006-02-15 04:57:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. This time I made an effort to make the sig all in photoshop as opposed to using other rendering software. This will hopefully allow the tutorial to be useful to more people. If and when you make one, send me a link so I can see your result. Seeing it will help me to make my future tuts on slightly more complex styles. Thanks for the too. Greatly appreciated.
