Halloween approaches once more, so it's time to give you a toy to celebrate. I decided to do a long overdue custom of the Shrunken Head template, & also redo the original blank for digital customising.

I have included 2 colors in the download with instructions on how to make the hair.

With 1 month to go till Halloween, here is a Photoshop Layer style to help you make your posters & invites etc for your partys.

Download from deviantArt. Enjoy

I'm working on a wallpaper for my new PC, and.. oh yeah!! I got a new PC. It's a lot faster than my previous one, with a much better GPU.

Anyways, back on topic. The wallpaper. I really like the Steampunk look, and wanted to incorporate my other online passion of GW2, so here is what I have so far.

I want to add more detail, so it's look awesome, and I have no time limit on it, so I can experiment as I go, and swap things up as my skill level improves.

This is a basic Banner. Made using Illustrator & Photoshop. Each aspect of the banner is on a separate layer for easy coloring & adding layer fx.

The curved text is a Vector Smart Object, so Illustrator will be needed to edit. If you just have PS, you can always delete the Vector layer, and add your own text using Photoshop.

This is a Mock-up template which can be used for either a PC game box, or a small paperback book. All you need to do is use the Smart Objects in the Photoshop file, to change the Front cover and the Spine.

The reflection will automatically reflect the changes you made. The background can be chaged or removed to suit your needs.

Leave a comment with a link so I can see how you used it please. It's always nice to see what people are doing.

I created a scrabble tile as a backing for text. Done in Ai, then exported to Photoshop to apply lettering. Nothing too flash, but if it can be of any use, feel free to use it.


I only did the tile, and added an A as an example, so you will have to put the letters on yourself.

This project took me a little while to get how I wanted it, but I got there in the end. The hardest part was vector drawing the buttons & joysticks.

The completed PSD file, has multiple Vector Smart Objects, and Photoshop Smart Objects. The result of which, means every section of the machine is easily customisable. This does mean you will need Photoshop & Illustrator to customise the Machine.

Some of the highlights are done using the Gradient Mesh tool, so a basic knowledge of how to edit them will be required, but it really isn't that hard. It's just a case of re-coloring each of the anchor points to the desired color.

The image below shows the standard PSD version, and 2 customs that I did.


Please click on the image & get your own copy of the PSD file, from the deviantArt Page. Let me know if you use it by commenting here or on deviantArt, then I can share it on the blog.

The requested piece I did about a month ago, for the Woodhaven Warriors Jacket Logo, is now finished.

The file was sent to the Embroiders, and below is the final result, worn by the recipient of the new Jacket.


I think the jacket turned out awesome, and it's a real bonus for me to see the final result.

This is the original post.

This a mixed pack of resources. Covering Movie film, Camera Film, & a bit of Hollywood thrown in too. The pack contains .pngs, .psd files, .ai vector files, & Brushes for Photoshop. Ideal to print & cut-out for scrap-booking use.

Hope you enjoy using it, and will let me see what you do with it.

This photoshop style is based on a Magma appearance. I played around with the link between pattern & texture which can make for a really glossy deep textured style.
