This tutorial is written by me on October 30^th 2012.

Any resemblance to another tutorial is not intended,

**Disclaimer, there are many different way’s to do things, I’m not saying mine are the best, but I do things the way it is easiest for myself

If you do a step differently go for it.. These are a “guideline” for tags.. not a rule book LOL

I am using the artwork of Guillaume Ross

you need a license to use his work

you can get one here indie-Zine

I'm using a Forum Set Template by Spawn

You can find his templates here Spawns Forum Set Templates

The template i'm using is Temp 26

No Scraps used in this tag...

The font i'm using is Comic Sans MS

or font of your choice there are tons of Toon fonts around

You can download most of his templates on the right hand side of his blog, or look them over, he has many of them animated... they are not animated when you download them...

Use Shift+D to make a new copy of the Temp and then re-move the copyright layer

We are going to be using the selection tool to do a lot of the cutting of the tube for the squares. You use which ever method you like to use

my steps are

Paste the image behind the frame of the squares and clean out just the face.. No body parts of the tag, unless you wish to add them to one of the 6 squares..

I mirrored some of the face to make it different in the squares…

Flood fill the bottom layer with a color from your tube i'm using a darker red color and i'm going to add Bright noise in Eye Candy 4000

the addon Called Dsb Flux is the add on i'm using

Follow these setting below

I'm adding a white gradient glow to all of the frames on the squares, to make them stand out a bit

On the grey part of the template i'm adding a red-black gradient glow and adding a drop shadow to that layer

Now open a 328x598 tag with no background copy your tube and paste it to the left hand side of that tag, re-paste it mirror it and pull it to the right hand side of your tag, the paste again flip the 3rd one behind both layers, and pull it to the face it even with the other two heads. Merge the layers and use that picture to flood fill the grey section of your template

Add your copyright info and what ever saying you want in your tag and your done..
