Tri-pic

Saw some other people posting stuff like this, thought I'd just toss this up here...

Money!

I actually went through a few redesigns before settling on this. Originally, I had a vector silhouette of a dude in a bowler had with no face, but the vector art made it look too computer-made for my tastes. So here is the finished product, done entirely with brushes (except for the texture, that was a stock image) and downloaded fonts. I even did the fake signature myself to lend an air of authenticity lol.

Front:

(the banner reads "follow the money")

Back:

(the Latin reads "endless money forms the sinews of war")

Yay selecting stuff and manipulating it to make it look weird

Favorite tool

I have a few favorite tools, one of which is only available in the new CS6 of Photoshop

The top two are the content aware select too (CS6) and the Brush tool. Content aware is awesome and everyone should try the beta to get its full features. I love it so much because it does better feathering than the pen select tool, and it also preserves the background/ fills in the blank space with like pixels once you move the selection.

I also love the brush tool because it is universal, and I have a lot of downloaded brushes from deviantART that allow me to add some additional flair to my images.

My last favorite is the pen select tool (especially in CS6). The freeform pen tool is great for making selections in order to isolate one area that you want to work on.
