Just testing...


Okay I know its huge, sorry. I went into it to try out some chrome but ended up airbrushing for my first time. Pretty cool tool. Besides the size and the fact that it cuts off on the right side(ooops) I wouldnt mind hearing what you think.

Um, whoa. You've been hanging out with Ktulu, master of chrome.

Well, yes it's way big. The beveling also seems to distort the circle. And the section on the left seems to be sharp, while the section on the right is blurred. I'm confused.

Well, it falls prey to the single largest 'airbrush art' foil: everything is soft.

For some reason, people have come to accept that 'airbrush pieces' are allowed to have these soft and often far to grey edges, and so many pieces get by without criticism (look at all your mall/beach airbrush carts selling cheesy t-shirts and license plates!). I alwyas find that a little odd with PS airbrush work though, since the principle really isn't quite the same as with a real airbrush.

It needs a huge amount of cleaning up, and I think the bevels are all a bit too exaggerated.

Yeah, the chrome thing isn't working for me. Try to airbrush more life into the solid white and solid black portions of the chrome, then run a curves adjustment on the whole thing.

And DL is right, with an airbrush tool of 1px the soft edges can be eliminated.

What has really helped me with airbrushing is doing the image at a much larger size than you're ultimately going to use. That way, when you scale it down it'll be much sharper. Check out my bomb sig in the sig competition for this month. I used a 3d grayscale model and airbrushed everything on to it (well, except for the letters and decals), and then scaled it down.
