Zeko Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thx for nice comments guys! @Panic: prize is wireless keyboard with wireless mouse. Would be nice to win it hehe I too think that metal is very tricky to make. I learned that a key to good metal is good shading and that comes with practice. @ghost627: Photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeko Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thought so . It looks very difficult. Any tips ← Some specific part? ← How do you get the frame / metal bar part. And the object on the very top ← Metal: medium grey + little noise + emboss + sharpen. Than it's brushing with burn&dodge tool. In the end adjustment of brightness and/or contrast. Metal hose: linear gradient + little noise + overlayed white lines (lines have "drop shadow" on) + burn&dodge tool Frames: color frames with inner glow + stroke. Nothing special. Spider-like object on top: color orb with decoration on top. Base is smooth metal (a lot of layer effects). Legs or something - custom shape with layer effects (mostly bevel and glows) with dents overlayed. Thats basicly it. I wont go into details cuz there are so many different styles used in that image that it would take a week to explain it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osokdfgr Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Nice so far! Are you required to put it into a working .html/.php file? Do you plan to use tables or CSS for positioning? Edited May 2, 2006 by osokdfgr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Nice so far! Are you required to put it into a working .html/.php file? Do you plan to use tables or CSS for positioning? ← Thx m8! No html/php is required. Only 1024x768 template and a link to a non-flatten *.psd file so they can check if it's done or ripped from somewhere.
