In reference i found that a lot of the stamps are uneven on tags. i did a lot of referencing and reading up on dog tags and actual AF tags. and i saved a bunch of images. i wanted that stamped in look and in real life i saw some that were pretty wacky
in this case i made the alpha i think mostly in PS (i tried many dif methods for this whole thing… oyyyeee…) then i used like Drag Rec with like a normal brush with some RF whatever… And when i first saw that it wasn’t as deep etc… around the edges. and not even all that nice i totaly OCD’d out. i wigged out and tried to fight it… then i realized, why? this is much more natural. It looks like a rough cut pumped out tag. So i stopped fighting it and just went with it :). So yeah that was just a result of the brush/RF and my (wack) alpha.
