Freebie Steel & Water
« on: May 17, 2011, 01:26:13 PM »
Did not know where to put this....

Here are two Photoshop layer effects that I developed.... Chrome& water drops....
you will need to make adjustments based on the image size and resolution.
the water drops require a colored layer behind.

ENJOY! Happy Pixel pushing...Elf ;-)

AWESOME!!!

I have been thinking about something similar for a while (posting free art). We could look into a download section on the new site.

We have had this section for a while but does not see that much action. I put up a Cancer ribbon myself a day or so before Mothers day. 34 people viewed and one person contacted me to download it. I think that people prefer to download themselves and not had to contact the person directly. If it's as easy as a CLICK, I think they would love it. Make it easy and make it free.:)  I also did not have it viewable to newbies. So I lowered it to Newbs. At least this way, you must at least be registered.

I would consider having a basic (open to newbs) free section and on top of that, an additional free art section (viewable only to high contributors here) as an added benefit. Still being free, but only to those who really put in some time to helping others or being a big part of the family.  These occasional free items would have more ""value" to them. Like an actual design that is stock art.

To do any of that, we would need to be able to download larger files. Currently, it's set to 2mb. only unless you wanted to do as Artelf has done and created a download link on his site.

You may also want to include a small step by step on how to apply it.

this is just to give the more advanced user a look at possibilities with layer effects.... and to challenge people to forget the loaded presets everyone uses and go to to another level.

I could explain how to load it... pretty easy for  the common user.. and a little info about adjusting for various resolutions.

As much as I love to give away free stuff, even more I want to see it challenge peeps creativity and sharing. I have one that makes flames... I will do a preview of how it looks but not share :-P

Dan I think in your case the ribbon is a well beaten horse very easy to find any where on the web thats why you wouldn't see to much interest on it. The water drop style is great i remember practicing tuts many years ago on water drops and glass effect its nice to see a style readily available.

I might do a tut about displacing an image behind the water drops.. So it looks magnified in the drops.. :-)

very nice, Dave, thanks. It would be more fun to mess with it and not just apply. That's how we learn, right?

you could just apply the chrome to a diamond plate pattern!
