# yes it's a chorizo
and the fog is just a well set up airbrush, numerous selected areas with a good feather then brush in. Might have added a touch of wind (distort) filter, not sure, then a touch of burning and dodge for depth and then reduce the layer opacity.

# ah.
and the lully shiny things on the swords in the second one?

i've been using strategically placed lense flare filters for mine...but yours have a nicer shape to them...

custom brush?

edit:ah...i never use the dodge and burn tools because sometimes, they produce some strange colors...
i just shade with variations of the main color, and then use the smudge tool to blend it.

# probably
just a standard airbrush ( I sometimes reset the taper if my pen does not give enough fade on standard ) then I create a layer, put it on top and fill with black. Change layer yo screen and then draw a selection using the polygon lasso tool like a star, feather it a touch and brush in that selection with a ligh colour fading to the edges. de-select and paint the centre. Add a glow in blending options of the same colour and you have a nice glint.

I can get carried away with stars.

# those are great stars though!
heh...i like that one...

i get carried away with shading sometimes...i know it's possible to get a decent effect with
just the main color, a shadow and a highlight color...
but i like the look so much better when you use like...8 different colors for the shadows alone...

sometimes the pictures take me a while because of this. lol.

# haha, I know what you mean
I think that the apocalyptic rhino and the deviant ( in my profile ) stand me at over 30 layers each.

# she is.
we met in art class...she used to bring pomegranates to class and share them with me...

we always "accidentally" flicked the seeds at our teacher who we shared a mutual dislike of.

she is cooking me dinner tonight! *dances*

# very nice
for those sword glints, it looks like you could just draw a line on a screen layer, then duplicate and rotate it loads of times.
