Some Photoshop Tips
I’ve been getting quite a few asks about the process for the patterns in my stylized artworks, so I decided to put together a couple of tips regarding them.
Firstly, what you need are
— CUSTOM BRUSHES —
Most of the patterns I use are custom brushes I made, such as those:
For the longest time I was convinced making brushes must be super extra complicated. I was super extra wrong. All you need to start is a transparent canvas (2500px x 2500px max):
This will be your brush tip. When you’re satisfied how it looks, click Ctrl+A to select the whole canvas and go to ‘define brush preset’ under the edit menu
You will be asked to name your new glorious creation. Choose something that describes it well, so you can easily find it between all the ‘asfsfgdgd’ brushes you’ve created to be only used once
This is it. Look at it, you have just created a photoshop brush. First time i did I felt like I was cheated my whole life. IT’S SO EASY WHY HASN’T ANYONE TOLD ME
Time to edit the Good Boi to be more random, so it can be used as a Cool Fancy Pattern. Go into brush settings and change whatever you’d like. Here’s a list of what I do for patterns:
- under Shape Dynamics, I increase Size Jitter and Angle jitter by 5%-15%
- under Brush Tip Shape, I increase spacing by a shitload. Sometimes it’s like 150%, the point is to get the initial brush tip we painted to be visible.
- If I want it to look random and noisy, I enable the Dual Brush option, which acts like another brush was put on top of the one we’ve created. You can adjust all of the Dual Brush options (Size, Spacing, Scatter, Count) as you wish to get a very nice random brush to smear on your backgrounds
The result is as above. You can follow the same steps to create whatever brush you need: evenly spaced dots that look like you painted them by hand, geometric pattern to fill the background, a line of perfectly drawn XDs and so on.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE
— PATHS —
But what if you want to get lots of circles made of tiny dots? Or you need rows of triangles for your cool background? Photoshop can do all of that for you, thanks to the magic of paths.
Typically, paths window can be found right next to Layers:
Draw whatever path you want, the Shape Tool has quite a bit of options. Remember, paths are completely different from brush strokes and they won’t show up in the navigator. To move a path around, click A to enable path selection tool. You can use Ctrl+T to transform it, and if you move a path while pressing Alt it will be duplicated.
Now, pick a brush you wish really was in place of that path you’ve drawn and go to layers, then choose the layer you want it to be drawn on. Then, click this tiny circle under the Paths window:
Then witness the magic of photoshop doing the drawing for you while you wonder how tf have you managed to forget about this option for the past 2 years
You can combine special brushes and paths for all sorts of cool effects. I mostly use them in backgrounds for my cards, but you can do whatever you want with them.
I hope that answers the questions for all of the people who were sending me inquires about the patterns. If you have any questions regarding this or any other Photoshop matter feel free to message me, I’m always up for complaining about how great and terrible Photoshop is C’:
How are Rooster Teeth gonna criticize Rockstar etc for their crunch when their Glassdoor reviews look like this, they don’t pay overtime and they don’t pay their interns??
just a character i painted
She just wanted to feel as loved as her sister… :’’’)
Ever since seeing this, I’ve not been able to get the idea out of my head. Red Lyrium Alphonse is just too amazing for this world. What would these brothers have gone through in Thedas?
Credit for concept goes to @zeowynda and @balamist/dillmoor. It is also available as a print!
Anyone? Ah? AH? Don’t let her hanging!

This steampunk clock writes the time every minute, and erases it before writing again.
This is the most ridiculous, inefficient, and needlessly complicated thing…..
I know. It seems almost completely unwieldy and useless.
I want it.
okay, but this is really what a Steampunk watch should be. Not just a dial watch with a cover made of bits of brass and copper.
yall southern states got dinosaurs running around and yall make jokes about new york having rats
But they are places to be expected.
NY rats take the subway and be trying to sell their mixtapes and shit.
That’s an Australian accent.
That’s a croc, not a gator—specifically, it’s a big ol’ saltie.
The rats don’t sell mixtapes, you’re thinking of pigeons. The rats play acoustic guitar.
4: those things are way older than dinosaurs
5: Australia still has dinosaurs.
6: The dinosaurs won a war with Australia.
7; that victory wasn’t even close
