My First Skin (Criticism Accepted)

Post by WellsMX524 »

Image

Used a Decal Works premade graphic kit, and added my own flare. I don't remember where I got the PSD from, but whoever it was from, thanks. Let me know what you guys think. Still haven't skinned my rider yet.

Thanks dude, I used a couple logos found on google, but I don't know where I would get them. (probably a stupid question)

You don't really. You just trace them with the pen tool.

I used the wand to get the white out of the backgrounds, if that's what you're talking about?

search on seeklogo.com
they got almost every logo you need, its actually for Adobe Illustrator, but just open the .eps and .ai files with photoshop and done.
Also converting your logos to a smart object keeps the logos sharp.

Thanks man, I'll keep that in mind. I'm sure you've heard it before, but your work is simply amazing.
