Signature Tutorial

[Askyria]

Mmkay, well, I decided to make my very first tutorial :0

It's not that great, and it's more like a walkthrough. It's basically a mash of techniques I used. Some of it might be a little hard to understand, but I tried my best without resorting to make it like 5716765 px long. I watermarked the images, cause, yeah, I'm paranoid, and it was made for estella for her use only. Anyways, yeah, here we go. Btw, I posted this over at estella's forum too, and it better not be posted anywhere else >:O

Hope it helps.

I have always wanted to design my own set. I want to get photoshop, but even the older versions are so expensive. I will try to remember to refer back to this thread whenever I do acquire photoshop. You have great tips, and a nice walk-through. Thank you. XD

@ ShushKebab: Displacement maps are images that you use to distort other images with. Here's a pretty good tutorial on displacement maps if you need more info ~
