Introducing the third installment of The Shop's popular photocopy noise textures, the photocopy noise texture pack volume 03!

 

This time, the set features twenty-nine (29) base textures. They were printed using an unhappy laser copier, low on toner. Then, they were scratched, creased, crumpled, rubbed, and scraped, to unveil some lovely wear patterns. The wear ranged from soft, subtle, all the way to nuclear devastation.

 

After that analog processing, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, adjusted for lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.

 

Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.

 

Additionally, the set features each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).

 

Noise and dust textures are perfect to add a subtle depth to your designs. Using them is very simple: just switch your layer's blending mode to "Screen," and play with the opacity slider.

I'm excited to finally share these. After working hard on my brush stroke textures, I wanted to also play with watercolor again. I painted a lot, and ended up with a total of 34 textures.

 

The twelve textures in this third (and final) batch have been hand-painted on paper with various grains. They have been carefully scanned in at very high resolution (1,200 ppi), in order to output crisp pixels sized at 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Yep, you read that right: each texture is 18"x24" @ 300 ppi.

 

There are two more packs in the set!

Introducing the results of The Shop's most recent play session with black ink and paper: the black ink wash textures, volume 02!

 

This pack includes a series of 11 black ink wash textures, focusing on making the results as dark and painterly as possible.

 

After scanning the textures in at very high resolution, they are processed to fit a canvas roughly equivalent to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Other than resizing the textures, the editing process includes light color corrections, and straightening.

 

Additionally, the set also includes a version of the textures post-processed as negatives of the original ones. This gives them either a grainy, cement-like aspect, or in some cases, the aspect of bleach on colored paper. The negatives are obtained using adjustment layers (curves, black & white) in Photoshop CC, maintaining a non-destructive workflow.

And we're live! After a few weeks of scanning, editing, tweaking, and fine tuning, I'm happy to announce that I've launched my first three packs of vintage paper textures.

 

These 15 textures include ink smears, stains, creases, folds, and all sorts of grit accumulated through the years. The set has been carefully scanned in from a late 1800s typography reference book.

 

A bit of technical data:

- At least 7,750x5,000 pixels

- Scanned in at 1,200 ppi

- Complete pack file size: 443 Mb

 

Don't miss out on this great launch celebration: this texture pack is available as part of Design Cuts current bundle, "The Essential, Creative Design Arsenal" - http://www.designcuts.com/design-cuts-deals/essential-design-bundle

 

You can have a peek of what's in the pack in the attachments.

 

Finally, note that there are two other paper textures packs captured from the same booklet!

- Vintage paper textures volume 01

- Vintage paper textures volume 02

- Vintage paper textures volume 03

Surprise! I spend the afternoon making some delicate yet grungy (delungy so to speak) textures. I've combined them in a texture pack that you can download here. Enjoy!

Textures help us to add depth to our digital art, and to break away from their flat, clean, and precise origins.

 

In juxtaposition to this, "analog art" is made with pens, pencils, markers, brushes, and paint. With this pack and its sibling, I wanted to bring some of these basic analog art tools to the service of the digital. The goal was to make the mark of the paintbrush visible, almost tactile, in order to be felt in the digital art.

 

These nine textures have been hand-painted with acrylic or watercolor paint, on various paper kinds (canvas, bristol, heavy watercolor paper, etc.). They have been carefully scanned in at very high resolution (1,200 ppi and above), in order to output crisp pixels sized at 18"x24" @ 300 ppi.

Universal Hud System

Basics Pack 1

L$0

 

This is the Hair Texture Pack that will be included in every style, for free. If you lose yours, it'll also be in every demo or just up on the wall in a vendor.

 

The *NEW* Universal Hud System was supposed to be launched ay Hair Fair 2020, but since it has been cancelled, I've started my soft launch of the system.

 

It is a "One hud to rule them all!" system, basically meaning that you only every need one hud of any type, and it will work for any of the hairs you purchase.

 

This system will be used on all Normal Textured hairs(Like the Hair Texture is Hair, no like fur or something) going forward. It wont be implemented for special hairs, for example Kitchen Magnet(Spoons, Forks and Knives) or Hugely Studded(Spiked Metal). Those will still be sold as single textures(They have always been sold discounted).

 

All 2020 Hairstyles have this new system implemented already. I will pick favourites from the past to do as well, as per my discretion. This might mean your favourite might not be updated. It all just depends on time.

 

This new system will help save my inventory(and yours) as well as allow me to make a larger series of hair textures, much like I use to have in the store. I'll also be doing fun promotional packs and free gifts and things, so there will always be new textures to collect.

 

Special Editions and Limited Editions, as well as hunt hairs, might not have this system implemented for the hunt versions, but when released as a full release, they will be scripted and work across the board.

The Shop is proud to introduce the little brother to its most popular product, the photocopy noise texture pack, volume 02!

 

Each of the ten (10) original textures were obtained by printing a black sheet through a laser copier of questionable quality, and then mistreating them with various scratching, folding, and rubbing techniques.

 

After that, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, slightly adjusted for even lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.

 

Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.

 

Additionally, I decided to provide each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).

 

Noise and dust textures are perfect to add a subtle depth to your designs. Using them is very simple: just switch your layer's blending mode to "Screen," and play with the opacity slider.

These rolled ink textures were born from a desire to have a set of ink textures at hand. The textures have been created with black ink and rolls (one foam roll, and one rubber roll).

 

The type of effects obtained ranges from subtle noise to heavy smudges, and can have a variety of applications: noise pattern, background color, ink wash, rough borders, and more.

 

The textures have been scanned in very high resolution (5000 x 7800 pixels on average) @ 800 dpi or more.

 

Buy them now over at The Shop, my Creative Market store!

Destruction is an act of creation (that's a paraphrase from Pablo Picasso). In our context, it means that when that house got destroyed in my Cleveland neighborhood, I got access to a lot of cool things to use as the basis of new texture packs.

 

After the rusted blue metal textures, the brick textures, the extreme scratched metal textures, and the painted wood textures, I'm happy to bring you the weathered grime textures!

 

The set is made of thirty-seven (37) base textures. They feature some cool grime/mud/miscellaneous scum patterns, in all their smeared, dusty, dirty glory. Think of dripping sludge against the wall. What's amazing about them is that you can use them to build up the most intense of background, or to have the most organic of masking element.

 

They were edited using Adobe Camera Raw, and Photoshop, for minor adjustments (lens distortion, color, exposure, orientation). They come in many different formats, to be as versatile as your workflow demands: color JPGs, black and white (positives, negatives), transparent (positives, negatives), and Bitmap TIFFs (positives, negatives).

My latest tutorial for Design Cuts is now live.

 

The current DC bundle includes a product called Overprinting Press, that helps to quickly put together pieces with an overprinting effect.

 

I wanted to explore that approach, but without the semi-automated PSDs.

 

The quote we're "illustrating" during the tutorial is "Sadness flies away on the wings of time" by Jean de la Fontaine.

 

It's a slightly longer than usual tutorial, but I believe worth sticking through until the end.

  

Introducing the results of The Shop's most recent play session with black ink and paper: the black ink wash textures.

 

This pack includes a series of 12 black ink wash textures, featuring various types of brush patterns (diluted, heavy, subtle, intense, etc.).

 

After scanning the textures in at very high resolution, they are processed to fit a canvas roughly equivalent to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Other than resizing the textures, the editing process includes light color corrections, and straightening.

 

Additionally, the set also includes a version of the textures post-processed with an HDR-like feel to them. This second set transcends the various artifacts of each texture, and showcases an out of the ordinary level of details. The downside of that alternative editing process is that in some cases, the results are over the top.

 

Since I couldn't decide between the two, I decided to share them both as part of the product!

 

---

 

- Twelves (12) ink wash textures

- Two different editing styles, so twenty-four (24) textures total

- ~18"x24" @ 300 ppi (above 5400x7200 pixels)

Introducing The Shop's third set of vector textures!

 

This set is the tool you'll need if you want to create subtle vector speckling. The thirty (30) textures, patiently hand-generated, scanned, and digitized will provide you with an extended range of options to address your speckling needs, from subtle to dense.

 

Additionally, as these are vector based, they benefit from unlimited scalability.

 

A little of technical data:

 

- Thirty (30) textures in vector format (Ai and EPS CC 2015, CS6, CS3, CS, and PDF)

- Sized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @300 ppi

- Bonus: transparent PNG versions

- Bonus: vintage color combinations, inspired by 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s packaging & posters

 

The set is now available at The Shop, my Creative Market store: crtv.mk/s0IAb

 

Finally, a quick reminder that there are two other sets of vector textures in the same vein:

 

- Vector noise textures volume 01: crtv.mk/a027c

- Vector noise textures volume 02: crtv.mk/j09K3

- Vector noise textures volume 03: crtv.mk/s0IAb

Introducing the third installment of The Shop's popular photocopy noise textures, the photocopy noise texture pack volume 03!

 

This time, the set features twenty-nine (29) base textures. They were printed using an unhappy laser copier, low on toner. Then, they were scratched, creased, crumpled, rubbed, and scraped, to unveil some lovely wear patterns. The wear ranged from soft, subtle, all the way to nuclear devastation.

 

After that analog processing, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, adjusted for lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.

 

Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.

 

Additionally, the set features each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).

 

Noise and dust textures are perfect to add a subtle depth to your designs. Using them is very simple: just switch your layer's blending mode to "Screen," and play with the opacity slider.

Introducing the results of The Shop's most recent play session with black ink and paper: the black ink wash textures, volume 02!

 

This pack includes a series of 11 black ink wash textures, focusing on making the results as dark and painterly as possible.

 

After scanning the textures in at very high resolution, they are processed to fit a canvas roughly equivalent to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Other than resizing the textures, the editing process includes light color corrections, and straightening.

 

Additionally, the set also includes a version of the textures post-processed as negatives of the original ones. This gives them either a grainy, cement-like aspect, or in some cases, the aspect of bleach on colored paper. The negatives are obtained using adjustment layers (curves, black & white) in Photoshop CC, maintaining a non-destructive workflow.

- Eleven (11) original, hand painted, ink wash textures

- Positive, and negative textures, for a total of twenty-two textures (22)

- 7926x5468 pixels @ 300 ppi (above 18"x24")

Textures help us to add depth to our digital art, and to break away from their flat, clean, and precise origins.

 

In juxtaposition to this, "analog art" is made with pens, pencils, markers, brushes, and paint. With this pack and its sibling, I wanted to bring some of these basic analog art tools to the service of the digital. The goal was to make the mark of the paintbrush visible, almost tactile, in order to be felt in the digital art.

 

These nine textures have been hand-painted with acrylic or watercolor paint, on various paper kinds (canvas, bristol, heavy watercolor paper, etc.). They have been carefully scanned in at very high resolution (1,200 ppi and above), in order to output crisp pixels sized at 18"x24" @ 300 ppi.

The Shop is proud to introduce the little brother to its most popular product, the photocopy noise texture pack, volume 02!

 

Each of the ten (10) original textures were obtained by printing a black sheet through a laser copier of questionable quality, and then mistreating them with various scratching, folding, and rubbing techniques.

 

After that, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, slightly adjusted for even lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.

 

Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.

 

Additionally, I decided to provide each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).

 

Noise and dust textures are perfect to add a subtle depth to your designs. Using them is very simple: just switch your layer's blending mode to "Screen," and play with the opacity slider.

- Sized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @ 300 ppi

I'm excited to finally share these. After working hard on my brush stroke textures, I wanted to also play with watercolor again. I painted a lot, and ended up with a total of 34 textures.

 

The twelve textures in this third (and final) batch have been hand-painted on paper with various grains. They have been carefully scanned in at very high resolution (1,200 ppi), in order to output crisp pixels sized at 18"x24" @ 300 ppi. Yep, you read that right: each texture is 18"x24" @ 300 ppi.

 

There are two more packs in the set!

These noisy and dusty textures come from an unlikely place. You know these little plastic pockets in billfolds to hold extra credit and ID cards? Well, now you know.

 

I've had that leather billfold for a while. It's old, and all worn out (see crtv.mk/sYYa for leather textures extracted from that billfold). It's been at the bottom of countless pockets and bags. And it has accumulated a lot of dirt, dust, and other lint particles.

 

I pulled out these little plastic pockets, cut them down in flat "sheets," and scanned them at very high resolution (on average 5250x7400 pixels @ 2400 dpi). These textures are the result of that scanning process.

 

The pack contains 4 variations of each textures:

- Black speckles on black (JPGs)

- Black speckles on transparent background (PNGs)

- White speckles on black (JPGs)

- Transparent speckles on black (PNGs)

 

Put them on Screen or Multiply, and noise things away. Add a specific color overlay, and add subtle speckles to your backgrounds. Paste them in your layer masks for subtle weathering.

And we're live! After a few weeks of scanning, editing, tweaking, and fine tuning, I'm happy to announce that I've launched my first three packs of vintage paper textures.

 

These 15 textures include ink smears, stains, creases, folds, and all sorts of grit accumulated through the years. The set has been carefully scanned in from a late 1800s typography reference book.

 

A bit of technical data:

- At least 7,750x5,000 pixels

- Scanned in at 1,200 ppi

- Complete pack file size: 443 Mb

 

Don't miss out on this great launch celebration: this texture pack is available as part of Design Cuts current bundle, "The Essential, Creative Design Arsenal" - http://www.designcuts.com/design-cuts-deals/essential-design-bundle

 

You can have a peek of what's in the pack in the attachments.

 

Finally, note that there are two other paper textures packs captured from the same booklet!

- Vintage paper textures volume 01

- Vintage paper textures volume 02

- Vintage paper textures volume 03

These seventeen (17) textures were printed on a copier with a faulty toner, which gives them a grainy feel, along with noisy artifacts similar to risograph prints.

 

The colors are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, then red, green, and blue, then ten hues following a rainbow spectrum gradient.

 

Each of the texture has been scanned at 2,400 ppi, then lightly edited in Photoshop (contrast, saturation), then resized to generate a crisp 18"x24" @ 300 ppi document.

 

- Seventeen (17) textures

- Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black, Red/Green/Blue, rainbow spectrum gradient

- Sized to fill an 18"x24" document at 300 ppi

 

Note that the high quality of the textures makes for an archive bigger than Creative Market's allowed product size limit. The archive you'll be downloading contains a text document with the download link to your full product, along with the preview images.

KaTink's My 60L Secret Sales for the weekend of Aug 29, 2014

You'll never now when good textures are at hand. Turns out, houses being torn down are a great place to look for them. After the blue rusted metal textures, and the brick textures, here come the extreme scratched metal textures, from the same house.

 

There are seventeen (17) textures in this set. They comes from the very old, very worn down, very damaged, excavator used for the demolition. I captured elements everywhere, from the cabin to the bucket. They are all very, very, very distressed.

 

The textures features deep gouges, scratches, rust, paint drippings, and more. They come in a variety of formats, for extra versatility in your uses. They are stellar at masking elements, or as building blocks for backgrounds, or other surfaces.

 

I can't wait to see what you create with them!
