My son crosses over to Boy Scouts Monday and will start to have a little free time.

Cub Scouts will be done soon and I'm looking forward to the little break.......lol

That's my update, for now!!.....lol ♥♥♥

Elias Hero Tut...

For this tut you will need Eyecandy 4000-Gradiesnt Glow and Mura's Miesters-Copies
Everything else is on your PSP.

Tube of choice, preferably a action hero looking tube or villain.....lol
I'm using the fabulous work of Elias Chatzoudis and you can get his tubes at PTE

The font I'm using is PTU, so here's a link to some FTU comic fonts for this tut HERE

Lets begin...This is fun and easy!!

Open a new image 600x300 and fill with the color from your tube.
You will need 2 colors.

Paste the smaller tube as a new layer and use your Mura's copies and use the preset menus and scroll down to the Wall Paper-Rotate.
Press OK and go to your Effects-Distortion Effects-Pixelate-11-OK.
Adjust-Blur-Gaussian Blur-5.00-OK
Effect-Artistic-Halftone-Circles-3.
The top color is the color that will be left on your tag.
This is where it's up to you.
It can be lighter or darker.
Mine was a lighter color.
Ok....Lets add s word.
I chose MEOW.

Type your word-convert to raster layer.
Open your copies again and the drop down preset menu.
Wall Paper-Perspective and the top number your want to be between 20 & 50, OK.
Add your tube as a new layer and add a white gradient glow to your tube and resize if need.
Add a drop shadow.
On the word layer add a word box from your preset shape.
Back to the tube, the blended layer selection to your right change the selection to Hard Light-Duplicate-Merge Down.
Looks a little comic bookish.....lol

Before you merge all, arrange your tag how you want it to look.
Merge ALL!!

Add a new layer-Selections-All-Modify-Contract-3-OK-Invert.
Add your color from the tube.
Use your majik wand and click on the inside of the border you just added.

Zoom in a little fill the line bellow the border you just made.

Add a drop shadow and merge all.

If you want to animate you may do so.

Place the name of the person receiving the tag.
Convert to raster layer-add drop shadow.

Ok...Adjust-Noise-50%-Uniform-Merge All-Copy-Paste as a new animation in your animation shop.
Ctl-Z takes you back to where the noise is gone.
Re add the noise and merge all and copy-paste in animation shop-before current.
Repeat last step again and paste before current in animation shop.

Long time no tut........

If you are a designer who makes kits, a tagger who enjoys your hobby, someone who tuts for friends, ect... You know who mojo is and what it does to us!! My mojo has been on the low side do to some family issues. I'm not going to say what is going on at this time, but things are looking better and hope to tut more in the month of April. Thanks for understanding.

Rac Lucky-FTU

The only thing you will need for this is a tube of choice and also DBS Flux-Bright Noise and Mura's Copies.
I'm using the work of Ismael Rac and you can find his store HERE.

Open your new image 600x300 and fill with the color of choice from your tube.
You can either use a shamrock tube that's already on your PSP or make one using a preset shape.

Place it where you want as a new layer and open you Mura-Copies and in the preset menu use the Wallpaper(perspective) and just play around with the number at the top.
I believe I used about 30.
Merge All!!

Place your tube as a new layer.
I used a close up on the left and a med size one on the right.
You can play with how you want to place them, my tag just gives you a idea.

Adjust-Sharpen and add a drop shadow of your choice.
Duplicate and then it's just playing around with the layer blending mode on the right of your PSP.
I used Hard Light and Color.

Merge all and lets add the borders.
Selections, select all, add a new layer, selections, contract 6, invert.
Fill with a color of choice from your tube.
Grab your majik wand and click on the inside of the border you just added and contract 3 and invert and fill with another color from your tube and click off and merge all.

Add your copyright and license number.

To animate, grab your majik wand again and click on the border you want to animate.

Open your DBS Flux-bright noise.
Mix-35%-ok.
Paste in animation shop.
CTL Z helps you go back until there's no more noise on the pate you are animating.
Bright noise again 40% and ok.
Paste before current.
Go back and do this again and make the bright noise 45% and paste before current again.
View your animation and your done!!
Enjoy!!

Make Your Own Stamp(s)...

Ummm.......Just need working knowledge of animation shop and psp and your good to go.

Open your template and type anything you'd like.
You can add a picture too.
(I will eventually tut that one too.)

Once you have what your typed added, convert to raster layer and duplicate 3 times.

Adjust-Color Balance-Manual Color Correction.
Left click on the color your font is and right click on the color you want it to be.
(You will be doing this step again 2 more times...Maybe.)

Once you have the color you want, add a drop shadow and repeat this process.

With your majik wand, click on the boarder-adjust-noise-random-50%.
The top 2 layers of your font X out and merge visible.

Paste as a new animation.

Go back until you have just marching ants and no noise.
Re add the noise and X out the bottom and top layer of your font and merge visible,copy and past before current.

OK...Go back until you have only marching ants and no noise.
Re add the noise and X out the bottom and middle font layers and merge visible and paste before current.

In animation shop you should have 3 frames with 3 different colored fonts on them.
View your animation and if you need to change the speed use ALT+ENTER and change it to about 25 or so.

Resize if needed and enjoy!!

Make Your Own Animations...This Is Easy!!

Need working knowledge of animation shop and psp!!

No outside filters, but you will learn a little something new if you didn't already.

"Right Click" and save image to your computer and open up in your psp.

Go to Adjust-Color Balance-Manual Color Correction-Make sure Manual color target is checked.
Click on the image and left click will make it the color of the image and the right click will make it the color you would like it to be.
See how easy that is!!
This comes in handy when you need to change the color of a object when making tags......lol

Ok...Now that you know how to change the color, lets make some animation!!

Make 3 duplicates of your image.
Bottom image leave black or change the color.
Add a drop shadow and go to the middle image.
Change color, add drop shadow and do the same as the top image.

OK...Go to the bottom image and copy and paste in your animation shop.
Go to the middle image and copy and this time you are going Paste Before Current in your animation shop.
Do the same for your top image.

ALT+Enter will change the speed of your animation and I have mine about 15.
View your animation and save and your done!!

Enjoy!!



To resize just use CTL+S and make it the size you want.
