Description I figured a New Year meant a new tutorial. The other one is old. D:

Old Tutorial: [link]

First off, this isn't the "correct" way to make tags. This is just how I do it. There are multiple ways out there on how to make pixels, you'll just have to explore them all and find one that fits you best!

I made this using the Gimp 2.6 but it should work with other programs too as long as you know your program. I tried to be as descriptive as possible and use a lot of screen shots so I'm sorry if you don't understand something. If you have any questions about the tutorial, just ask!

Also, DO NOT USE ANY IMAGES FROM THIS TUTORIAL. Thank you!

My problem is always the shading, I never know how to place shading. Can this work with photoshop too?

Dellesen In reply to GinBearHound [2011-01-19 22:44:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah shading takes a lot of practice. It took me 3-4 years to get where I'm at now. Dx

It should work with photoshop if you know how to work the layers and stuff but I'm not sure because I've never used photoshop. lol
