2008-10-22T02:38:00.001-07:00

Maybe you've asked yourself: 'where is this font from?' or 'i want that texture!'. Okay, you want to find it with Mr. Google? Say goodbye. Resources for graphics are usually from small websites that [maybe] you can't find with Google. Or even, from blog/journals! Here, I'm posting some of my favorite resources:

FONTS
dafont.com: YES I ONLY HAVE ONE RESOURCE FOR FONTS. Believe it!

BRUSHES/TEXTURES
deviantart.com: lame? YES. but there are like, a million brush (okay, hiperbolic here) in deviantart. it's up to the keywords when you search for it :)
obsidian dawn: holy mother of all cows. this site is GORGEOUS *___* free brushes, and other resources. what else do you want?
appendix squared: another gorgeous and full of graphic resources site. with their retro style and poparts, they're going to blow you up!
celestial star: ah the all time favorite <3
textura: not a big site, but full of big and beautiful textures!
texturize@lj: this is what i call heaven. almost all of the texture maker in livejournal promote and give direct link for their handmade textures!

More? Well, maybe I'll post moar /shot.

How to make this:

to: or

Yeah people, this time I'm posting my 'how-to-make' an icon. I'm using Photoshop CS 2 (and I think this can be applied to other Photoshop versions too, but I don't know about GIMP)

1. First, prepare your base. I'm using this:

2. Now, click 'Layer > New adjustment layer > Selective color'.
Here are the settings:
Reds: Cyan -100, Magenta +39, Yellow +49, Black +9
Yellow: Cyan +100, Magenta +6, Yellow -100, Black +100
Blues: Cyan +100, Magenta -100, Yellow -100, Black +78
Whites: Cyan +61, Magenta -68, Yellow -81, Black 00
Black: Cyan +35, Magenta 00, Yellow -29, Black 00

3. You'll get this:

4. Then click 'Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation'
Add this settings:
Master: Saturation+6
Red: Saturation+24
Yellow: Hue-22, Saturation +44
Cyan: Hue +2, Saturation +16

5. Your result:

6. Want more? Create a new layer, fill it with #2b0785, set as exclusion, and turn the opacity to 21%

7. My final result:

Easy right? XD

Any comment? Or maybe you want to ask? Post them here!
