Techimoto will rebuild the current tutorial archive, and is pleased to announce the addition of Ms. Abby Janus to head up this effort. Abby will be responsible for providing content that will appeal to the individuals coming to the site for Photoshop tutorials. As Abby states; “I plan to conduct an on-line poll of those coming to Techimoto for these tutorials, in order to sharpen the focus of Techimoto’s design section. My hope is to add relevant content, in keeping with Techimoto’s current and future technologies focus, with a bent towards architectural, landscape, and web design techniques and innovations.” Abby earned a B.A. degree in Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, in 2001, and has been an innovator in the field for over 15 years.

The Webdogpro.com domain will be redirected to techimoto.com and all photoshop tutorial links will stay the same, We hope that this merger will help build awareness of the techimoto brand and regain interest in the photoshop tutorial archive.

First create a new document with a canvas size of 500*500 pixels (feel free to use other sizes, I just find 500*500 easy to work with).

Rename Layer1 to ‘Splatter’

We will generate some clouds by going to Filter -> Render -> Clouds

Next, go to Filter -> Render -> Fibres (this option may not be available to versions prior to CS). Apply the fibres filter with the following settings.

Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness and Contrast. Apply with the following settings.

Create a new layer called ‘Color’, place it above ‘Splatter’.

This layer will manage the colour of the blood splatter. I used #6A0303. Use the Paint Bucket tool to fill the entire layer with that colour.

Create another layer, call it ‘Background’, and place it above ‘Color’

Hide every layer except ‘Background’

Find your Gradient Tool (hidden underneath the Paint Bucket Tool) and set your gradient tool to Black and White. Drag the gradient from down to up. You may want to start a bit below the canvas.

After applying the gradient your layer should look like this.

You’re almost done. Make every layer visible.

Go back to layer ‘Colour’ and change the blending style to Screen.

Then finally, on layer ‘Background’, change the blending option to Darken.

The finished product should look something like this.
