Lighting Textures & Brushes

[propaganda_live]

Well everyone, it's been quite some time since I've written a tutorial, but I really enjoyed the way this icon turned out, so I figured I' throw it out there. Will be posting it for my Ed challenge at iconfiend100 once I get another good sized batch ready. Well, without further ado-

That is fantastic. I'm just venturing into textures and am really having a hard time getting them to cooperate (what colors to use with what, what settings to use, etc), so the timing of this is just perfect. Thank you!

That's really a beautiful icon. I love how all your lights and textures enhanced the picture instead of smothering it. The tutorial was really easy to follow, too. Can't wait to play with it. : )

Thanks, I hope it produces some good results for you.

I can't see any of the images. They're just red xes. :(

I think my bandwidth took a momentary dive, it's all working fine now.
