Alright, so as one of the 'senior' graphic creators on this site, I’m always looking for ways to improve myself and others. I’ve found that usually, just messing around can get you pretty far. But you need brushes and tutorials to get really good. I didn’t think this was necessary until Firewolf started completely outclassing me in the SOTW Competitions. So here I am, to pass down a little knowledge to you guys in whatever way I can. On this page, you’ll find links to sites that have tutorials, renders, brushes, and anything else that I might decide to add. This page will hopefully constantly be growing as new information is discovered everyday. So without further adieu, here are some awesome resources.

Renders
Planet Renders
Photobucket
Premium Renders

Brushes
Deviant Art
Get Brushes
8 or 9 brush sets that Chaos Theory and I Use

Tutorials
Smudge
Stock/C4D
Chaos Theory’s Grunge

Other Resources
Fractal Bargain Bin

More to come, hopefully.

You could always add the fractals site. Really amazing backgrounds you could use for -whatever-.

Oh..I get ya now. Under Window up the top where you have the layer, select, filter and all that, you can alter the tabs you have open and adjust your workspace so that it is configfured with only the buttons you want to use. You can also adjust how they are positioned, stack them, hide them in tabs and all sorts of customisation to get it the way you like.

Hope tis helps.

I considered it. We’ll have some gimp stuff, but due to the fact that the majority of members are using photoshop or are planning on converting to Photoshop, I’ll keep the title as it is. Besides, I don’t know shit about GIMP.

It’s basically like Photoshop, just different in some ways, I guess.

Cid has given me permission to take control of the resource thread, everyone. I’ll switch out the topic soon enough.
