Well, I recently got photoshop, and decided to revamp my avatar for most forums and sites.
All of these were done with a touchpad/trackpad on a laptop, using only the tools provided in Paint.Net/Photoshop respectively, without any reference photos or tutorials.
This is the avatar I've been using on most sites up until now (Including this one) -
(Done in Paint.Net, and as a last-minute thing if I'm correct)
Now, after having Photoshop for about 3 days, I figured I'd take it a step further and try it out. I'm pretty happy with my results, which are here -
(EDIT - Added a lighting demo version, as to I've gotten replies about the 3D realism being off)
(With the letters) (With the letters + Lighting)
(Without the letters) (Without the letters + Lighting)
I'd love to get some feedback, to see if there's anything that stands out greatly that needs improvement. Thanks for checking out the thread!
(By the way, the pen in the picture is a Lamy Safari for anyone interested; quite a nice pen)
