I have a new Photoshop filter, and I am not afraid to use it.

Comicbook maker Photoshop Action

I liked the comicbook effect so much, I’ve turned it into a Photoshop Action. Just download it here and drop it into your \Presets\Photoshop Actions folder in your Photoshop directory. Start Photoshop and load Greywulf.atn from the Actions pallette – Comicbookify is right there. Load an image and hit Play.

Here’s a few more samples.

It works with real photos too! Give it a try, and post your results in the comments.

Enjoy.

Reasons to love DAZ Studio # 536. I couldn’t paint like this if life on Earth depended on it, but give me DAZ Studio and a darned good Watercolour action for Photoshop and even little me can create something worth printing and sticking a frame around.

Click on the image to view large. It’s well worth a peek.

Oh, and that DAZ Studio tutorial…….. Part One will be up later this week. Just so you know :D .

I just found out how to blow things up

(and if that title doesn’t send the dumbfucks in government who think that RSS and Twitter feeds are terrorist tools running for the hills, nothing will!)

I’ve been re-reading and loving Crimson Dark, which is, quite possibly, the best sci-fi webcomic ever. Not only is it beautifully written with great lines, terrific characters and created using a compelling blend of 3d renders and ….uh…. more 3d renders (and more than a little Photoshop), but the creator, David Simon, is also an awesomely great guy.

Among his pile of tutorials I found this little gem, a You Tube video showing how to create explosions in Photoshop. Using clouds. Yep, the fluffy white things in the sky.

Y’know what – it works too, brilliantly.

Here’s proof. Take one sub-par boring render of a sub-par boring spaceship………..

Add space background, follow tutorial, and…………

BOOM!

DIRECT HIT! TAKE THAT, SUCKERZ!

Not bad for a first attempt. Not bad at all.

I love you, Internet.
