Thanks

Thanks for the links
I did the first tutorial, the result is not very good (it seems stone ^^)

I'm going to do again later.

That's pretty good for a first try, you may have some potential. Keep it up.

Edit: I moved this topic to the new BFME mod graphics subforum.

I can't do the relief efect and the metal efect who nertea did. :(
EDIT: I can't do that:

You mean the designs on the scales?
Nertea probably used a combination of burn and dodge brushes to give the appearance of relief in the scale, but you can also create a new layer, remove the fill, and add some easier bevel/emboss effect.

PD: Mirá che dónde vengo a encontrar otro argentino... te mandé un pm, a ver si te puedo encontrar para una partida o para enseñarte un par de trucos.
Saludos!

Good to see some people looking at my older tutorials

The relief effect can also be done by drawing the designs on a different layer and setting that layer to be partially transparent.

The second try I think a few better.

Add shadows between the scales... The rows will stand out better and look more realistic.
