HO MY.... when i saw your pic, i was like "eh, it's good, really good, but it aint amazing."
But when I saw those videos...oh man. I was speechless. You get maaad props from me, bro. The stuff you do on there, I would never think of. And it took you 3 1/2 hours only???? Something like this would have taken me 30 hours! I am not nearly as efficient as you in PS (plus I don't have a tablet). I still proudly use 7.0, which I am so accustomed to that I don't wanna use CS. I am a novice at it right now, so everything takes me long cuz I don't read tutorials, I try to figure out stuff by experimentation.
When I saw your vids, I wanted to ask you some specific photoshop questions.
(1) Which tool did you use to make the curves, i.e. on the bridge and the railing, so that it gives a more "perspective look"? I can't explain it, but you used something on the second video when doing the background and I saw where you bent linear lines to make them curved. Is this tool available on 7.0?
(2) Which tool did you use to make the bridge? I noticed you just added lines after lines. You couldn't have possibly made that with the tablet pen right?
(3) This question may seem a little elementary to the average PS user, but I want to know how you highlight only certain areas in a picture.
(4) This is also very elementary: how did you get the camouflage as the skater's pants? Did you upload it from some pic you found online or was it one of the styles you found on photoshop? Did you have to highlight the area where you wanted to paste it, and how did you do that?
(5) With the fox-girl coloring you left the entire scanned pic on a darker shade. Then much later you used this tool to highlight her entire body and have a white aura around her with a few clicks. Which tool did you use for that?
Sorry for all the questions, but you seem to be very skilled and cool about questions, tutorials and stuff, so I thought it was appropriate for me to ask you this stuff. If you don't mind, I'd like to learn more from you. Come check out my gallery so you can critique or something. I only got one pic there right now...
Whoa! So many questions! I'll answer them anyway...
1.) It's "Warp", available in later versions of PS, probably CS...
2.) If you're talking about the stairs on the back in the part 2 video, yes, I brushed them all... The video was just too fast...
3.) A layer in overlay... Try to watch the "Wacom" video, it might give you an idea...
4.) Sponge effect, contrast it a lot, then assign the colors. If you want more colors, repeat the step and erase one color on the new layer.
5.) The dark shade is the background. (Usually light gray) The ink is in a new layer, then I color it in another layer below the ink and above the background. Then i'll just add more layers for the shades and shines. As for the white aura, You're probably talking about the stroke effect applied on the base color layer.
I hope I answered your questions!

Wow thanks! Which wacom vid? If it's on that video site, then don't bother linking, I'll find it. As for question #4, I was asking about the suspension bridge all the way on the top left of the image. That seems like it was done with some tool b/c that would be impossible...even with a tablet...right?
It was totally awesome watching ya do this pic in the video. Some of the techniques were too quick to catch but I think some were asked in PrOFKaos's comment and thanks for answering them.
I found it very useful.
Oh, that... Line tool...
The vid's in the same site... I uploaded all of that kind of vid in that site, nowhere else...
