Originally, I was going to do some grass textures this week to help usher in Spring. Then I realized that there just isn’t that much grass around here this early in the year so I though I’d take the idea in the opposite direction. Hopefully we can get to the grass textures soon, but in the meantime enjoy some cracked dirt ones instead!

For this weeks textures I tried something new: mixing and layering several individual textures together in Photoshop to achieve a certain feel. It’s something I’ve tried previously in a project called Nebulae Grunge, and I’m pretty happy with the results, what do you guys think? Next week I’ll get back to filling requests though, so don’t worry ;)

This week I’ve got a treat for 3 lucky Windows users. My friends at Electric Rain have just released a new Swift3D plugin for Photoshop CS4 Extended, and to spread the word, I’ve got 3 copies to give away! It’s WINDOWS ONLY, (sorry Mac users) so please only comment if you have a Windows machine. If you aren’t familiar with Swift3D, its a 3D modeling and animation software. The plugin aims to add more 3D functionality to Photoshop and it’s packed with features. Some examples can be found here. Good luck everyone :)

A couple of weeks ago Gene requested that I do some liquid textures, and seeing as this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time… I decided to try my hand at it. The other day I was thinking about how there needs to be more “colorful” textures out there, so I’m pretty happy with the way these turned out. I created them by mixing drops of various food colorings with a little water, and voila! Enjoy!
