Does anyone have a good link for a dust texture pack?

AwSmash, that's awesome. Probably your best work that I've seen.

Jamjam22, that's solid. Only complaint I've is the blending of the textures. Go about it again. I think if you follow TC's steps carefully and use the 'Gradient Map' for the layers that you're required to set them as 'multiply/darken' and 'screen' respectively, you'll get a better result. Other than that, it's fine.

This tutorial looks to be a kind of stepping stone for us all. Hopefully we'll get more of these.

Shadow_Boy1181, type 'dust or noise textures' in Google. You'll see numerous sites that have them. Or just set your search to 'images'. You'll get a lot of them.

Oh, you.

I think I made a better one before the forums were changed. I don't remember if I posted it though. I love that CM Punk one though.

Your's is awesome. I think it'd be great with a different background. It looks awesome. This one signature tutorial has made everyone amazingly better. Hopefully all artists on the forum have a look at this tutorial.

Try changing the colour of the text to white, and having a red shadow/outline rather than yellow. Just to add a bit of contrast. Also, desaturate the final grungey texture you used. And hold shift when resizing images, the left background image is out of shape as well.

This is wrong in my opinion, the font style doesn't have to be grungey at all. Mine wasn't, the textures and inner glow with a bit of noise added should add enough of an effect to make it look good.

Smash, your's is a good effort, I think the text could be blended a bit better, as could the main image, The colour could use a bit of a touch up to me, the depth of colour on CM Punk could be better, and I'm not too sure about the rose tinted-ness of it all either. Still...probably the best effort so far.

ABK, I don't like the colouring at all tbh, and the red font doesn't work, and CM Punk looks mis-shapen. Maybe try another with a darker background, and a different font colour. Also, TAKE YOUR TIME.

Lizard, not sure you got any of what I said to be honest. If you're not sure of the techniques used, just read up about them a bit.

First off, AwSmash you've made great sigs before the section was altered, no doubt about that, but tbh I can't think any of your the sigs you made that you got almost everything right.

Thanks TC. I'll come up with one shortly. I rushed it

kingfunkel, that's an excellent try. Don't be too bothered about your texts, you'll get better with time and I can't see anything wrong with the one you used either although I'd like to say you should try to keep it as simple as possible. You'll get better eventually. That's what I tend to do in virtually all my recent sigs. We all will get better with constant practice and patience.

wwecruz, that's awesome. Might as well say your best work I've seen so far. This tutorial has really really helped us in the blink of an eye. Wow. Can't wait until we get more of these.

Once again, big thanks TC for the time and effort to put forward such a helpful tutorial

I'm happy with this one, it has the scratches and stuff, it's nice and dark, I personally think the background and text fit well, it isn't my opinion that counts though, what do you guys think?
