Any chance you could add Fire, Poison and other common effects used on weapons?

Still a WIP, fire and poison will probably be added under Advanced Effects which is not done yet.

ok my sword looks good but the handel is S*** go into further dtail on the lines on the handel plox other than that its good

I'll try to make it more clear :)

This will be a good tutorial when it's finished. It's already good as it is now. Good luck with it.

Thx mate, and yeah I WILL finish it, I've just had to much to do lately :/

As for the color things, I have already made thoose descriptions and they are somewhat like your's, I probably won't update this thread though as the tutorial is nearing completion.

Seeing as a few of your colors are missing, Yellow tends to be something "Holy"-related, and Purple tends to be Unholy or Death magic (especially if it's purple and green = undeath or purple and red = demonic)

Off topic to ghostwind:
The magic words here are "tends to be".
I can use a sword with a golden shining effect and call it sword of darkness if I want. It would not be conventional, but it would still be right if the map/game/book and so on, I am working on has that in the "story" or "rules".
That is the nice thing about fantasy, everything goes:cool:

And to goos:
Really great tutorial. I think I will install gimp2 again just to try this thing out:)
This can help people with more than warcraft actually. I can make use of this for the game that I am working on:) +rep to goos

Edit:
I need to add that after trying it, I need to ask: Do you use gimp? beacuse I do and I could not make any sense at all out of that:(
This is just a suggestion, but can't you make some kind of , crap, don't know the english word for it "tabeller".
like this:

Brushsize: 2
Opacity: 15%
and so on..
for each isntance of the tutorial, just to make it easier to understand for us beginners?

It was my first try ever! Well I sugjest that you add shield/armor/gems/coins tutorials as well. Why not make it a really big tutorial? Good job so far!

This was the first time i used Photoshop "for real" (b4 i've only liquified stuff for fun) and imo it wasn't bad at all. Very Pro guide, keep it up!

note: It would be nice if u add other things too.

This tutorial is great! Have been finding something like this, but always end up with the importing stuff. This time I found it finally.

And, oh, great tutorial :D I do quite alot of these things in Photoshop myself, and your tutorial is brilliant :D :D

Because it's a WIP, hopefully I will get to work finishing it sometime soon, but I'm gonna finish the pile-up of requests first :)

You could always "buy" it.
(I assume I could say that :D There have been many others saying similar things, for example: You cannot export/change any model made in Maya into a .mdx or .mdl format. "Buy" 3DSMax 5 or find Milkshape somewhere.)

Or, use The Gimp, a free application similar to PS.

It's not really possible to make a tutorial for MS Paint.
It's so complicated to use, that nobody in the world knows how to.

I suggest getting The GIMP. It's free, and similar to Photoshop.

There's no need to buy anything.
Just use The GIMP. Link in post #33.

You know, you could buy Photoshop Elements for a tenth of PS's price - if it turns out you don't like The Gimp ;)

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled
