In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to create this Chained Arm with Blood Stain Effect in Photoshop. This is an intermediate level tutorial so some steps can be a little tricky, but why not have a try :)
In this tutorial we'll use Photoshop CS to create a shiny new chain. We'll cover creating shapes using a knockout techniques with Shape Layers to applying some fairly sophisticated contours with Layer Styles. This tutorial will help you rethink how Photoshops Layer Styles work and by the end you'll not only have a damn sexy chain, but have learned some new techniques by thinking out of the box on how we assume things should work. Time to get to it!
