OK, I am pracitcing how to make some crystalized images. I saw some of you pros making them, and I hell like 'em. I am trying to use some white to transparent gradient with lower opacity. But it always looks n00bish. So I would like to hear how do you make them.

Teach me    

try this link i can't work on just giving you the hyperlink because im working on SLAX OS, or Linux so yeah here; http://tutorialblog.org/adding-a-gloss-effect

Why couldn't you gimme the hyperlink Anywayz, thanks for pointing me

OK, here's something I did in few seconds. Ain't anything special, since it's just a test. I tried to crystalize the head of the second dude.

Bad, huh

Take some time, your rushing it.

You're probably right.  Crystal effect looks better on one-color graphics

Is this a bit better

Nope

Yes, but the size of the crystalization on the head doesn't make much sense to me! Make it a bit bigger. You shouldn't see the end of it on top of the head.. yea try to figer that sentence out first.

The position and the size don't matter now. Just tell me what do you think

Good try Sosoe222...!

The size and the position does make a difference though..! See what I tried on the same image as yours..! 30 Seconds job..! You can get awesome results if you spend more time on this..!  

Actually size is everything.  When doing designs on an image, it's crucial that everything is right on the money.  So size is huge!

Thanks, guys. Well, I'll keep this in mind. This is really helpful. I'll be coming again later to post something more if I could work out

Glad to hear that you find this helpful.

Keep posting your results.  

OK, I will. And of course that this is really helpful...

It's supposed to be.  

Tell me about it, I didn't know
