Phun with PhotoShop

Sometimes I play with a new technique or do a tutorial just to see if I can do it. This one was just to put an image and type together, I think it's an interesting effect. I'm still not sure how good the overall illustration is? I'll let you be the judge.

Since you asked ;)
How about having the blade come into the "O" from behind?
This way the "O" will read less like a "C"...
I'm a real fussbudget about keeping the integrity of letters/characters.
Alot of times it is the negative space that defines a letter. Especially when you show only part of a letter or bend/twist/distort it.
A good exercise (with a pen) is to just roughly draw the negative shapes of a word. An "O" would be a dot, a "B" would be one dot over another, etc. It gets you thinking in another direction.
Other than my fussy nitpick, methinks it's cool :)
 
Wally, you hit the nail on the head, that's why I was wondering if this worked or not. As far as just the negative space on letters, I used to do a lot of that back in the late 60's, as well as just about everyone else that was desiging Pschodelic posters and graphics. :cool:
 
I needed a new signature for PhotoshopCafe , and I found this tutorial I thought would be interestting.

Better use a "sheath" there, buddy. ;)

Phil, ol' Jared at Subway got nothin' on you, man. Leave it to timmy to expose a guy. Anyhoo, that bowie pic is exceptionally cool. I agree with the thought about the hollow grind, but I think with the blade that size, the pic would lack a bunch of otherwise excellent detail.

Keep it up, Phil. I love lookin' at your stuff.
