The Process: Happy Halloween!
http://tdimauro.blogspot.com/2009/10/happy-halloween.html
Art, Philosophy, and the City. I had a couple of minutes before I had to get dressed up in my Indiana Jones costume, and decided to dig around a little bit on the web for some nice Halloween Photoshop tutorials. It didn't take long before I found this one. A nice practical guide to creating dripping blood. Secondly, I'm not such a big fan of pinup artwork, but today is Halloween, so anything goes!
