Twig's work...
« on: August 09, 2009, 06:47:25 AM »
To follow the trend :P
Just posting some random stuff, and deffo not all the stuff I've ever made :P
Also some of my first creations, so doesn't necessarily have to be my best work I'll post here
(No particular order, so old and newer stuff is just mixed up)









Some of my signatures:

Keep forgetting to put a name in this one :P


Don't like the tribals and punisher scull, but that's what he wanted :P

This would be my 2nd animated sig... It goes way too fast fast, but I had to put all the names in there

This would be the first sig I ever made  8) Still think it's kinda cool for my first one



Don't mind the background, I made this one for a tutorial (how to make a swirling text)



This one was for a contest...you had to use that crappy render :doh:


Header for the website of my CoD4 clan





Spood with her freaking lego theme :P haha

Still working on that one, though

P.S. don't mind the © in some of them...it only means I had to make those for school and had to prove the work is mine ;)

In short; you have to duplicate every single letter 10 times, so for "Dark Dreamer" you have 100 layers. Then you leave the original text layers alone, and on all others - the duplicated ones - you go to filter>distort>twirl and add a twirl to every other duplicated layer, changing it's rate every time (so e.g. from 250 to 0, 0 being the original text layer)

I've always enjoyed your work Twigske, and especially now that I see some more of what you have done. Great brushing, and use of animation. On the Andy Warhol effect one, I found a sig I made for DanGero in the related...along with a pic of NwZ...lol, kinda suprised me ;D

Awesome work, they look great! The non-sig ones like the first one and the big last one, what all did you actually do to them? They look like one layer and completely original images.

Long story short again: The last one consists of 5 different images (gothic cathedral, knight on a horse, wings, shield and clouds)...With your pen tool you follow the lines of that doorway, so that you create a map or w/e it's called (can't check as I'm not @ my own place atm :P )...then you erase the bottom of that map, so the floor is back again, copy and paste the cloud image in there twice, cut out the knight which you paste into your work...add "smoke" to the bottom of the image, add a shadow for the horse, cut out the shield and paste it in, same with wings...then you find yourself a good brush so it looks like there are sunrays coming from above and then you'll make some adjustments layers to change the brightness and colours etc.

First one consists of 3 pictures and some brushes. The background is a picture you duplicate and flip so it's "mirrored" or w/e you call it. Then you get your clone stamp tool and erase the edges, so it looks like one picture. Then you change the sky by adding more clouds (brushes). The three on the right is cut out from some picture and then pasted in there...the three on the right is just a brush, the birds are a brush...the girl you cut out and paste in there...and in the meanwhile you make all kinds of adjustment layers, so that the image looks darker and the colours look different from the original
