Helping a friend with Her Website....

So I'm helping a friend with her website and she asked me to make her navigation bar for her. Easy enough. The catch was that she wanted to make it look like it was punched into metal and then rusted. That posed to be a little harder. I thought about it and I was initially going to do it in 3d. Then after thinking it through I though "I can do this entirely in photoshop and it would be easier to modify if need be. Then I don't have to worry about shaders and lighting and rendering... all that good stuff."

Here's the result:

Entirely don't in photoshop with a series of masks, blending modes and layer styles. I like the result. I think I may make a tutorial on how I did it.

Hello again!

I know I don't post a whole lot, but I've been busy, as everyone always is. I'm working on getting some new stuff on the web since my internet presence has been lacking lately. Here's a little sketch I did the other day. I really like here and I think I'll do her up right.

She's cute right? I need to make her a good male counter part to be in love with. Perhaps a Valentine's day card is in store.... Maybe that's a bit early.... Ooooo.... I just got a great idea... bwahaha! I will make my new idea happen. Just you wait.
