looks cool, though some of the "metal" parts could use a lil bit of texture.

Hmm... maybe i'll make my own mini one... I don't want to copy exactly what you did.. so i'll try to improvise.

[Papa]

Yea i encourage you to do taht. The only thing i have to offer,sides this tut to help, is is take your time. takes me a couple days to do metal sigs

[Shane]

I can't get what you got on the first image... could you maybe re-write the first big paragraph...

The whole thing with the circles etc. i don't really get.

Ok do you know how to use the pen tool? if you do make a shape just liek the one i show u in step 2.


if you do not know how to use the pen tool do this: Take out your eliptical Marquee tool. Form a circle, while holding shift, about the same height as the shape i have now fill teh circle with any color. Now you can deselect. Now duplicate teh circle and put one on the left side, and one on the right. Now take your rectangular marquee tool and make a rectangle in between the two circles filling up all the middle, be sure to make it the same height as teh circles. now fill it on a separate layer. Now position all of them together so they look like this



You may have to move the alyers around a bit to get that. Now select the top layer and hit Ctrl- E to merge the top 2 layers together. then hit it again to merge them all together into one layer. Now just move it to the side like i did in Step 2.

if this doesnt work add me on MSN and i can talk to ya. jus clik my name for it.
