henrys alpha madness time

ok ive kept this one under my hat for all of a few days and its time to take my hat off. i was pondering for many an hour on how to create interesting skin tones or alien wrinkles or bullet holes in alphas, and frankly it eluded me for quite some time. then it hit me like a drunken father hitting a ginger stepchild. electron microscope. thats right people some of the most stunning pictures in the world all black and white all natures own all perfect for that amazing unique alpha you have been looking for. bung it into google images snag a couple (minding the copyrights etc) and paint away. it was too good to keep to myself. have fun. peace!

and here are a few for your very own use. please feel free to post some amazing alphas u wish to share. even if it pains u a little to let them go. set your alphas free.

Hey henrysouth, these are great. :+1: :+1:
You can do wonderful things with alphas. I’ve got a whole load of ink ones I used. I’ll post them some time, but at the moment I’m rather occupied over on the Scared Silly thread (the deadline is looming!!).
Cheers

Hi Henry,
