Blending always scares me, but reading this tut makes it less complicated -- I now have a better understanding of the techniques. (I still need a lot of practice though. :D)
I'm so glad it was helpful! You're more than welcome, it's fun to write these things (I wish I could write my thesis as smoothly and quickly as I did this xD).
But... But... You make so beautiful stuff!
Blending is like everything else in the graphic-world not a science, so there's no right or wrong and nothing to be scared of. :D Oh dear, I still need a lot of practice too. :D
I've been using vector masks for ages, but I never thought about the pen tool. Will definitely try it out.
I also like the way you toss all the images into the canvas and move then around until they work. I usually do that with textures, but I never thought of doing it with images (duh!).
Vector masks are amazing. :D It took me a while to get a hold on the Pen Tool but now that I did, it's a great addition. I mostly use it for vector graphics though.
I started doing this, when i started making tumblr-graphics, because they have the best size for it. And it certainly is a lot of fun to make. :D
It's true, tumblr-graphics are a lot more flexible in that sense. Thankfully, I tend to start out my graphics big and crop them towards the end, so what you're saying is still very useful.
