Little Zane Is Learning

[Zane]

I've been trying my best at graphics for a while, but only recently got photoshop. I'll be posting some of my accomplishments, and some of my horrible attempts in this thread. Feel free to comment, and enjoy!

This was my absolute first graphic I made in photoshop. Scipio of www.urbsurbis.com taught me how to create a vista button.

Soon after I tried my luck with an avatar size icon which I might end up using on TPP 4.0. At that point I still didn't know anything about image quality; ignore the fuzz.

This is probably my best work yet. I made it just the day before yesterday. I plan to put it up as a teaser image on the homepage of my site while we continue working on it.

This is just a little 5 minute work which I cooked up for some future award ceremonies. Who knows if I'll ever use it?

My attempt at a glossy icon. I actually like this one quite a bit.

Laughter is an instant vacation, let's see you guys prove it. Comments, suggests, criticism, and appreciative comments are all welcome!

Very good zane, that icon is pretty snazzy

I am more of a paint kinda guy and I do like a a good vector drawing

Have a play with the "Plastic Wrap" artistic filter

Ooh, thanks for the tip! Much obliged.

I made that today. I'm still just a beginner, but that doesn't make photoshopping less fun!

Edit:

I gave that a try. No luck. I tried all sorts of settings, but none really seemed to suit the picture.
