# Hey
i was studying your art again, and before i shower you with stunned amazement, how was that done? Is a tutorial a thing where they give you all the pics and you only assemble it? Or did you design this concept and only use their techniques? Because if you did, this is really extreme high end stuff. And if you just did a paint by number that is a different song completely.

# I just took some of the
stock used and recreated the original concept using whatever techniques I saw fit at the time.
You can make of that what you will.

# not sure what you mean
I would have to see the tutorial, i went to the magazine and tried to order them, but prob with the US credit card i guess. Are you saying the layout was there with all the pics and you applied your painting techniques? Like the irredescent layer in the timepiece, and the right hand bottom corner machine?

# The timepiece
was done in the same way in the original but it's not a technique that was new to me. anything metallic placed on a difference layer or with a difference layer adjustment will always give the same effect. Just duplicating it ad then changing layer opacity will alter it, you can do this as much as you like.
All the rest of the stuff on top of the timepiece was painted on by me.
The thing in the corner ( steampunk brass spider ) was something I added myself as I came across it by accident whilst looking for brass stock to use.
I go to Adobe seminars and as a long time Adobe customer my registration allows me to view their video seminars and tutorials so just because I use techniques that others use in a tutorial does not mean I'm learning anything from it, just using techniques I am familiar with and then embellishing it myself.

edit:// and stop asking me questions that elicit a long drawn out response only for you to not at least acknowledge that you have read it because it's getting to the point that I'll not bother.
