Core GFX

I’ve seen that I haven’t posted any tutorials for a while so I decided to create a new one. In this tutorial we will be making buttons again, but unlike in the last one, these are going to be much smaller and easier to make. You can use them for arrows or some small things (like submit, send etc.).

I know that you’re dieing to see how they will look in the end, so this is how:

Here’s a special treat for those more gruesome and dark artists among you. This pack includes 27 fully 3D blood brushes digitally edited.

Long time no hear, eh? Well I’m sorry for not posting for so long but I was really busy with some other work I had so I will try to pay off once again. Today I have writen a tutorial about how to create a very nice stylish glossy button in Photoshop.
I have decided to go for one color but later when you create this tutorial you can repeat it in any color you like or need. There are a lot of ways to do some things but this is the way I’m doing it. This tutorial is going to show all the details so even noobs should be able to understand it. But if you have a problem, or a suggestion or any kind of question, feel free to contact me on my e-mail admin@coregfx.org .

Let’s cut the talking and get down to business. So once you’re done this is how it’s going to look like:

This is another free set of 8 (click “Read More” to view all of them) Adobe Illustrator Swatch Patterns by DesignFruit . You can use them for filling anything you want like shapes, letters or words. It looks much more better than by using some solid color.
They aren’t so complicated to use either, all you need to do is drag them from the swatches panel to the canvas. After that you can drag them back to the swatches panel to create new swatches using different colors. If you don’t know how to use them, I have included a video on the bottom of the page.

These are compatible with Illustrator CS and above.

Here is a pack of 10 one of the best cloud brushes you can find. They are really great and are made for enough high resolution. If you like these brushes you can head over to it’s creator’s Deviant Art (JavierZhx). Here is a preview for the brushes:

Tattoos, Tatoos, Tattos, Body Art, Super Cool Body Paint For Your Mom, whatever you want to call it. These brushes are big, so they are ideal for print work. You can use them for Web stuff as well, but you will need to size them down. Most of them are around 1800-2400 pixels wide or tall. Here’s a few examples I created to illustrate what you can do with the Tasty Tattoo Set:
