Painted Foliage Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Stephanie — Sun, 29 May 2011 20:51:09 +0000

This set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes is made up of various foliage that has been painted by hand, on a canvas. So, you’ve got that nice canvas texture, some paint texture, etc. Included within are various stems, grass, and leaves – some single, so that you can put them together however you like, and others already arranged in bunches.

This set was made to accompany my Painted Flowers Photoshop & GIMP Brushes set. That one is made up of various flowers, all with the same pretty canvas texture.

These are all very high resolution images, with the average brush size being about 2000 pixels.

Painted Flowers Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Stephanie — Thu, 26 May 2011 18:31:33 +0000

This set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes is made up of various flowers that have been painted by hand, on a canvas. So, you’ve got that nice canvas texture, some paint texture, etc. These flowers are not very detailed, just some basic flowery shapes. Some fun embellishments to add just about anywhere.

This set also includes a few brushes that are made to either add or remove the center from a flower, in a semi-circular shape. For example, if a flower that you like doesn’t have a center “dot” and you’d like it to, you can use one of those “center circle” brushes to create it. And the same applies to the opposite – if you want to remove the center area of a flower, use one of these as an eraser to get rid of the flower center. They have the same canvas texture to them.

I also made a Painted Foliage Photoshop & GIMP Brushes set to accompany this. All kinds of foliage, from leaves to stems for the flowers to grass, all with the same pretty canvas texture.

These are all very high resolution images, with the average brush size being about 2000 pixels.

Fur Painting Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Stephanie — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:07:11 +0000

This set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes is composed of brushes used for painting animal fur. There’s some single hairs, some doubles, and some groupings of several hair strands together. All of them are made to scatter and change their angle just slightly, so as to make the fur look realistic. They will also just slightly alter their hue, saturation, and brightness to allow for the distinguishing between individual hairs, as you can see in the preview image.

Most of these are not terribly high resolution, since in most cases they won’t need to be. They’re about 1000 pixels on average, but should be scalable up to the maximum brush size without any loss of quality if you actually need them that large.

I’m writing a few tips on using these below, so scroll down if you’re experiencing problems using them or just want some help in making them look as realistic as possible.

Stephanie — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:01:25 +0000

If any of you out there still have links to me under my old URL (www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com), I’d really appreciate it if you could change them to the base domain (www.obsidiandawn.com). Thanks so much!

Snowflake Vectors Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Stephanie — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:28:15 +0000

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to let you all know that Obsidian Dawn’s releases might be a bit slower for a month or so. We’re relocating/moving in a few days (not the website, my house), and I’m not entirely sure when we’ll be settled in at the new place. Things should pick up again in February or so. Also, there will be no CDs available until that time, either. I just won’t have the time for it, sorry! Check back in February!

A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various snowflake shapes, all as vectors. These are all very high resolution, about 2000 pixels in size.

These brushes are composed of various shapes of snowflakes. Some are perfectly symmetrical, some are more roughly hand “drawn” (much like those unique real flakes!).

They are also available as Snowflake AI Vectors and as Snowflake Custom Shapes!

Frost Photoshop & GIMP Brushes

Stephanie — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 16:37:51 +0000

A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of frost shapes. These come in several different types. First, you have a few icy and frosty frames to frame photos. Also included are some single frost shapes – the standard feathery shape. There are also some that are in the shape of lines, some swirly frost shapes, and some pre-made frost textures that you can just click once to create some frost. Lastly, we have lots of brushes that were made to paint the frost in textures. These are so easy to use, and you can use them to create your own wintery frost textures! (They are, in fact, what I used to create the textures brushes and the frost frames.)

No releases next week, as I’ll be out of town for Christmas. For those of you that know me or have been following my blog posts for a while, I just wanted to let you know that the hubby is back home from Iraq safely – and here to stay for at least a year! What a Christmas gift, eh?

May all of you have a wonderful Holiday season!

A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various flower sketches. Most are around 1700 pixels high or wide, so they’re very high resolution.

All of these were drawn by hand, so they won’t be symmetrical like our Flower Vectors Photoshop & GIMP Brushes were. They have a sketched look to them, as well. Within this set you will find many various flowers, including a few on stems.
