Uhm.. Where do you get the stock ?

Blackbird97 In reply to NhomaCoVo [2009-09-07 18:59:04 +0000 UTC]

Do you mean the background stock or the character? Character is from Planet Renders and the background stock can be found from a stock photography site, just try googling it, and you can even find some on google images.

NhomaCoVo In reply to Blackbird97 [2009-09-07 21:19:06 +0000 UTC]

Ohh, I was talking about the stock btw, I will try to find it.

hidndragn In reply to Blackbird97 [2008-09-01 20:30:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for that, here's what I did using your tut [link]

It was a really nice tutorial, my only question is how do you get those rectangles to work? It worked find with the splatters, but the squares wouldn't work. I had some text in there, it said complete control, but it didn't fit well and I took it out.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Blackbird97 In reply to hidndragn [2008-09-03 02:00:20 +0000 UTC]

Great result!

And I'm not sure why it didn't work if it worked on the splatters. :\

And yeah, never use the method I did for text in this tut; how mine ended up is awful. xDDD Nowadays if I can't get text to look good, I don't do any at all.
