Manc, that is really cool. Love the emblem design on the rings. My only suggestion, in the future, when dealing with Metallize, is to run Gaussian blur (2-4 radius) immediately after to smooth it out. That's a tip from Sarkut's gold metal tutorial.

Lance took the words out of my mouth. What he didn't say is the colour of the metal - I like that very much! Well done!

Curves and Metallize are roughly the same thing. Metallize automates using Curves.

Manc, great sig! Love the new pieces but probably the second one is my fave because of the darkness in it. Wonderful piece! I look forward to seeing more!

First off, nice sig. About your shields. I love them. I think it's the color that gives the shields a war-like feel to them. Awesome!

Shields are superb Manc. I think the second one with the different colours is the best and the logo in the centre looks amazing. Nice choice.

Manc, I'm glad you finally worked out the linking of the images. I deleted the extra gibberish in your post a few post up. Nice work you did. Keep it up, Manc.
