Maxamillian, you are like, teh uber teh! :p
Awesome tutorial. It's very unquie and original. I want to use this as my current, but it looks very much so like yours. And I guess that's a good think by following your tut, but still.
I'll make my own using your... pointers. :wink:

I think it looks different enough.. When its based on a tutorial, its gonna be similar. I didn't have any good brushes so I just googled some of the ones he mentioned ;x

I wish I had used this other photo of the same thing from a slighty different angle ;\

* Aequitas considers doing an anatomy/physiology series.

Le sigh...
"SigsSuck_MaxStyle" Maybe Max can convert you back into the fold. :wink:
And that anatomy series would be nice, I am currently failing it. >_<

I didn't know about the stroke thing. i just used lines around the text. I think this turned out well. (see current sig). Although I couldn't get it below 70kb without making it a GIF, and seriously reducing the quality. I don't know how you people do it, while still keeping it as a jpeg. Any tips on filesize reduction without quality reduction?

Redid the one from above and did a new one.. I guess I'll do a few more if I can find some more interesting anatomy photos. I like how clean the style is, Max.
