So far what I've mostly been doing is combining/modifying images I've found on the interwebs, kind of like Jeff describes on his site about homebrewed transfers. I would definitely want to get better at the "art" aspect first, though. So maybe in the long-term, selling some transfers for beer money could be an idea There's obviously not a huge market for this, but I would imagine a small cadre of folks would really appreciate it. Admittedly, I've had the thought multiple times in the last week as I'm fiddling at my computer trying to figure out these damnable programs (or watching YouTube videos thereto) like, "You know, you really should be painting right now." Hell, see my first post in this thread! Jeff is right that this process can be such a pain the "payoff" at the end will be great.but a lot of people aren't going to have the time or inclination to spend on it. You know, I hadn't really thought about that last point, but it's true.

I have a big issue getting my LBMS two part system ones to work for me- I reckon that is because I'm a clutz.

Plus you have control of the design if you need fifty similar ones.
Properly sprayed and protected home brewed decals are just as sturdy and workable as many commercial versions. But the rewards are high if you learn the tricks.

Then when you update or re open your PS document the changes magically update.Īll this may sound complicated- because it is. The good part of using "smart objects" is that if you decide to update a symbol then you only need to update the original art. You can then repeat and copy and paste duplicates. Place them as "smart objects" then scale them to fit your grid. In PS use "Place" image (or it may be called embed now) to bring in your designs. That way you have a whole list of your high res images outside the printable document.
For example you might want colored surrounds in one file, and symbols in another. You can either draw around them, or hold them up to a light and shadow judge them with the paper.īuild you basic art designs in separate files. Test print your grid in BW and make sure it aligns with your shields. You can make a template guide of the shield outline on another layer if you need it- usually the grid is good enough. Make you own grid guidelines that can be greyed back on a bottom or top layer which can be locked. There are a number things that make things work best (PS techniques). GIMP is an adequate substitute for PhotoShop (I have an old version of PS and it still works so that's great).
