Hey,

Still being pretty new to Photoshop, I am just wondering where you guys find all your textures and images to use in your volleys ?

Do you use your own photography or just find it on the net etc ?

Just curious. There are some great returns in these battles/matches.

mymac

<-- own photos/stock/family archive, clipart, scans.

google image and collected magazines for reverence material or textures.

own photo's / stock / google

stock.xchng is prolly one of the better sources.... [especially since googling images might get you a frown]


I'm without scanner or digital camera myself, so I'm looking forward to Unmondo.com's return... sharing and using images from fellow members always added a kind of connection to the images and artwork created...

Dustin D'Andrea provided me with a number of his digital photos that I could use in Photoshop images. He and and are currently involved in a match (see mymac vs art3). I do have my own digital camera and did use my own photography for my first serve to Icculus.

However, sometimes others have some great material/photos that fit much better with the image you are working on.

It is kind of cool to be using your "opponents" photography during your volley's back and forth with him :-)
