Spacey References

Been looking around for some more helpful Photoshop Tutorials. Here are some more that I liked, and listing for future references.

This page has a list of tutorials for many different types of outer space images, such as of planets and more. So many to go through, I don't know where to start. I guess I'll try recreating the twin planets of Crescent Legends while using these tutorials.

Here's one for creating a simple outer space image with stars and nebula gasses. Very flexible, easy to do, and looks great.

 Here's a nice tutorial for a habitable planet. Probably what I would use for most planets that would take place in an Earth-like environment.

And here's a set of brushes that you can download and put in your Brushes folder for your Photoshop for techno themed shapes and patterns. I haven't tried them yet, but these will come in handy for space themed things, surely.

And another, huge list of brushes. Quite a lot of them here, and among them are some more techno themed stuff, as well as other things too. Definitely something to look into when you start getting more advanced with Photoshop.

That about does it for now. I plan on making some more graphics to decorate this blog with, using these tutorials and brushes I've found, among other projects. The more images I make, the better, so hopefully I'll get around to doing all this for the blog soon. Expect to see more things be on the blog, like the Labels list on the right. It's a great way to sift out topics of your interest out of all the things I've been posting here.

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about the Promos I'm doing as well. If you'd like something of yours featured on my blog, contact me.

Ever since I started working on this blog, I've been a lot more productive in creating things like images and such. So naturally, I have been using some tutorials on certain skills for Photoshop that I find online. This one being a very basic brush that you could download anywhere, probably, but teaches you how to make a sparkle-effect brush anyway.

Again, another basic tutorial, and one that's very easy and quick to do to add rays of light shining down (or up, if you want, I suppose?) in your image. I like the amount of versatility these photoshop tricks and stuff have in making images, so it's very helpful to have.

Next, this isn't a Photoshop tutorial, but another site that I had recently used to get some references on some HTML and Javascript codes to use on this blog. They're some simple stuff, and some of them only work for Internet Explorer, which sort of disappoints me as as FireFox user, but I managed to find some codes that were worth noting.

It would also be great if I can find some tutorials that I've used in the past, back on my previous laptop, Lappy, which I don't have the .psd files for anymore. When I do, perhaps I'll post them here on this blog so that photoshoppers like myself can look at the hand-selected tutorials I've picked out to add neat ways to enhance their photoshopping skills. ... I say skills, but these are mostly beginner stuff, I guess. ._. Perhaps I'll eventually get to the point where I can do a lot more technical photo manipulations and some sketching using the mouse or something in the future. But until then, these tutorials will do.
