Monster Party

Here’s my final image! I like how this turned out for the most part, although I may go back and make the frame more realistic, I can’t decide. I may also add reflections to make the screen look more like glass, but I can’t decide how to go about that. I drew the monsters in from scratch, and the frame is a modified version of oneI created using “render frame” (Filter>Render>Picture Frame…), but the original images for the background and the sludge textures are under the cut.

I’ve been working on this photo of the observatory telescope room for a while. I think I’ve added all the monsters I’d like to add, as well as their shadows, but everything still needs texturing. I may also add some noise and a timestamp to make the picture look like it’s from a CCTV camera.

Pen Pressure in Photoshop

A little doodle I made after I figured out how the brush engine works.

I’ve never had the time to figure out the brush engine in Photoshop until now, and after messing around for a while I’ve decided I’m ok with it. I do still prefer Krita for this kind of thing, but now I can at least modify photoshop brushes in ways relating to pen pressure, and change the brush angle. If you want to mess around with brushes yourself, you can find the settings in the brush window (Window>Brush). If you browse through the sidebar, various aspects of the brush can be set to respond to pen pressure by clicking on the “Control” drop down menu below the feature you want, and selecting “Pen Pressure”. Provided you have the right kind of tablet, you can now do all sorts of wacky stuff. Even if you don’t have a tablet which responds to pen pressure, there are still a lot of fun settings in the brush window. I suggest just messing around with them for a while and seeing what they do!
