*UPDATE*

Tutorial now online here: [link] have put a cut down version online. Seems like the images are broken at the moment, hope they fix that at some point soon. Silly CMS systems *tsk*




fresh



One of those rather boring self promotional journals this time around. The image above is actually something I did for a tutorial in this month's issue of Digital Arts magazine. Finally giving away those shiny 3D text secrets ;) The use of the word 'fresh' was meant to be a bit ironic as I am asked to do this style of lettering so often now it has become anything but fresh. Not to mention the mass of 'heavily inspired' pictures I have seen by others. Anyhow, it helps pay the bills :}



stats



The above stats are a 6 monthly report of how Shinybinary.com is doing. There's been some vague growth this year but not much really. It's not surprising considering the lack of updates though, I really need to redesign that sucker at some point...



Buy high quality prints




I have also started selling high quality prints with Clickforart.com, a new startup where a select group of artists can sell prints of a quality not normally offered by art sites. It's not really meant to compete with my DA prints as these are generally high quality wood or canvas sizes up to enormous sizes, and priced accordingly. And yes I realise the irony of my last journal and their website, but I'm assured it's only a temporary design :}

and that's yer lot.


P.S. Job done with the rippers

You know.. thats kinda.. that tutorial is as helpfull as showing someone how to draw:
1. make a new document, I'm going to go for 400x600 but you can pick anything biggger, as long as its minimally 400x600.
2. now, go to the tool box, and pick the brushtool. (it's shaped like a brush)
3. now set the settings of the brush tool to what you feel comfortable with. you can do this in the upper left corner. of your photoshop window
4. you can go to anywhere from this step, be creative, Good luck!

:p It's kinda useless...
