Wow...nice work. May I ask what tools you used? Thanks.

TLe2006

lol I didn't notice the leg was chopped I guess I was too drunk.

AsAkite

Thanks!
I use PS-CS6. No real tricks or anything, just reproduce what I think the background is.
Cut n paste, fading things together, and then freehand (mainly the wavy texture on the blue thing)

Nice! One of these days you and/or Seize need to hold a tutorial I'm still using CS2.

Seize

I really need to get a newer version of PS. This is what I've been using ever since I started.

AsAkite

Yeah, I remember that...
More bells and whistles that I rarely use, and the interface is a bit different. Don't get me wrong, CS6 is definitely advanced quite a bit, but I don't claim to be a "professional" level user that can wring all the benefits out of it. As far as basics, still pretty much the same.
It's got a bunch of 3D stuff I haven't even bothered trying to figure out.

Seize

Yeah, I'm far from being a professional level user as well. I probably only know how to use a very small fraction of Photoshop's vast capabilities. For most of what I do here (on CL) 7.0 is more than adequate for me. If I were to upgrade it'd probably be to do photo editing, like color correction and stuff like that.
