Sasuke Chidori Signature Tutorial - Really old one from back in the days 2009-04-06

[cc.RadillacVIII]

I just stumbled on my very first tutorial from the start of my tag making, posted at 6th of April 2009 to be exact.
Found it on a Swedish torrent tracker/forum so it has never been shown for foreign eyes before.
Therefore the tutorial is written in Swedish, and I have no PSD to go back and edit, so time to learn a new language peeps.

The English terms I use and the images would be enough for you to get through the tutorial without understanding Swedish.
But if it's still too hard I have an ace up my sleeve, a video capture of the tag making procedure, it's cropped to the tag canvas but it does the job.

On top of a tasty video I provide you with a resource pack, as always

Hope it may still be able to help newcomers with their tag making and maybe for some of you that want to create a quick tag too

Be sure to post your outcomes and please ask if there's any part that you don't understand, and I'll help you with it.

Well, it looks like I just got a BIG win for being swedish!

Cool end result but the stripes on the right looks a bit wierd. Almost like they are poping out in front of the rest of the effects.

I didn't really understand the term "depth" back then, so thats why it's all evenly sharp

Someone needs to teach me how to smudge. :\

As you can see in the tut I used the spatter and leaf brush for smudging here, and in the video you can see how I stroked but you can't see the brush settings.
Check out this tut of mine for some scatter setting which are good for this kind of smudge: http://www.gfxvoid.com/forums/showth...by-Radillac-lt
You can play around with the brush settings to get different kind of smudge effects.

Hope that helps you to get started with smudge
