[cheffart]

umm could u put more stuff for the boosters?

[Brittle Ice]

Great Tutorial!!!

^_^

[Sparta™]

Thanks Ned! I now have Inverts on here! ^_^

---

umm could u put more stuff for the boosters?

Why? I gave you 32 steps, more than the others! Did I not explain enough? :(

[cheffart]

oh sorry i just saw the pic and not the rest my bad VERY NICE TUT

[Sparta™]

Thanks! ^_^

[iKiller]

Nice Tutorial(s), but images and a better format would help greatly :D

[Sparta™]

Ok, I'll add examples of what it should look like. ^_^

[moneypony]

boosters,there are quite a few but this is quite good although nowhere near high quality

recolor,isn't the good type of recolors,they have the whole thing colored and i made a tut on how to recolor already

holo,there is one but this still works,although setting the holo layer to color dodge maeks it so much cooler

invert,can be done on MSPaint and way too easy as it's a 1 click step

 

overall still good tuts for people who don't know how to do them.

[Sparta™]

This is for gimp people who are beginners, so if you aren't a beginner, why are you posting here? Anyway, thanks for the heads up, I could use a few tips on how to make these easier. ^_^

[cheffart]

ah u added more stuff, yeys!

[Sparta™]

Your welcome, I also added my custom holo sheet! And the custom 1 is red.....

[Zaca]

Don't recreate my tut.

The booster one is my tut.

[Sparta™]

The rest aren't, but since your concerned, I'll give you credit. ^_^

[DarkArmedDragon118]

Nice tut!

[Sparta™]

Thanks! ^_^

[Sparta™]

Update: We now have a tut for dark synchros!

[Zaca]

Get rid of the grey sqaure around the dark synchro stars.

[Sparta™]

I can't, I don't know how. :(

[iKiller]

Zaca, that would be giving away the sacred Dark Synchro star of realisticness. Anyways, I've done it, and they look great. Just don't let loose or shops will go out of business.

[Sparta™]

Thanks! ^_^

 

P.S. I definitely won't let loose, I don't know as much as everyone here anyway so......

[topmatthew]

Cool tut it really helped me. Heres my dark syncro:

[.Requiem]

I don't understand what you mean make boxes all over because when I make a new box the hold boxes go a way. For the Dark synchros

[D-Striker]

Cool tut it really helped me. Heres my dark syncro:

 

Way too light, the background color should match up with the star background color.

[Cowboy Dan]

I like the tut. You will be receiving a rep!
