I started this character and texture this morning for an image . So far I am pleased with the way it's going and the thought occured to me that this might be usefull to others so I may put it in the store , lets say for $5.00-$10.00 or so . Anyway , I still have some work to do on it (if I plan to sell it that is) .

cool a stone Golem :) nice cracks in the "skin", like to see the image when you finish it.

this looks amazing the stone skin is really stunning. Could use this for a few ideas I have. 8)

Excellent texturing :) ladynimue

Indeed,, was the cracks done by hand are did you use the body creases etc. are just sporadic ?

Yes how did you do it? Is there any chance of doing a little tutorial for us? Cheers Cat

Well , it's pretty simple . It was done using Photoshop's bevel and emboss layer style , set to down instead of up then I used a hard edged brush to paint the cracks with the layer set on multiply . The texture only uses Two colors , a dark grey as the base and a lighter grey to make the textured part with a brush set to screen so that I could get a lot of variation . The brushes are just Photoshop 7 brush presets with some adjustments to the scatter and spacing .

Thanks Mark you're an angel, oh sorry that's what I was thinking of using the texture for. 8) Cat

Forgot to ask, when do you think it will be ready for the store? Cat
