Hey all,

I re-drew an actual samurai helmet that was on a slight angle. I'm using it for my avatar, but it's also for a website I'm working on that is (obviously) japanese themed. http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/undefinedI have already done a few modifications to it, and I'm likely going to colour it...but i'm not sure what colour yet.

I like the grey, have you thought about making it blend with the background like my Avatar?

All you do is take a snapshot of the screen, make a Square with a sample of the gradient the same size as the Avatar. Then drop your current one over it with a 'Multiply' layer and save.

Here's what I thought you could do...

Just crop it around the grey area if you want to use it and save it as you new avatar.

Nice work! I like the slight changes you made. I love the darkness of it. Makes it seem, evil!
