DD + new brush set?

Journal Entry: Thu May 12, 2011, 10:44 AM
So I got my 6th DD yesterday, thanks to ^KasumiCR! It seems like just yesterday that I was hoping I'd get my first one, which ironically is now in storage because of how horrid I think it looks.

The DD was on my brush set, which is awesome, because for once it wasn't about displaying my artwork, but providing a valuable resource to people who can benefit from it. I've had a good set of brushes for so long now, I sort of take it for granted. I forget what it was like to have no idea where to get a good base set of brushes, and just messing with a bunch of crap I was finding all over the place, which was never what I needed.

Of course the easiest solution is to make your own, but that's a little intimidating at first, and the results the first go around are usually.... interesting, and not in a way that helps, haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for all the support over the years guys, and maybe I can get an advanced brush pack up soon. The only reservation I have with that, is that many of the brushes I use regularly are modified versions of other people's brushes. And while I don't think they'd mind, being as they supplied them to people in the first place , I feel a little funny about re-purposing without crediting, and I've had some so long that I wouldn't know where to start.

That said, maybe the solution is to just say, "If you recognize this brush, let me know and I'll credit."

As always, take care everyone, I'll have some new artwork very soon. An epic space battle, including wallpaper versions, and hopefully my Mass Effect painting by next week.

its taken me years to collect all the brushes i actually use including some of yours. my computer had a little mishap recently and i back it up regularly, but do you know if file backups include brush presets? so if i have to install photoshop again i can still have the files for my brushes? im a little worried about that. i dunno if that's something you'd know but i figured since ur mentioning brushes and this just happened to me you might know =P

If you re-install, you'll need the ABR files for all your brushes. I actually do that occasionally, where I save my entire library to make sure if something happens, I can re-load it. If you've just loaded brushes into PS over time, and never saved them, I'm afraid you might be out of luck.

Getting a DD is always exciting, no matter what, isn't it? :D Plus your brush pack is awesome and it totally deserved the feature.
