I did 2 of your tutorials Esper, I enjoyed them very much.

What do you think?

I know your question was directed at Esper Wallace, but I hope you don't mind me wading in...
I think the Viking one might also look good on a dark timber.
Would you be interested in humouring me and posting it using the attached pattern or any other dark timber you may have?

Yeah... sure thing FB, I'd like to try that out. Give me a moment and I'll whip that up.

Here it is. I hope that this is the pattern, it was the only pattern with the name 'Woodblack". What do you think. I think the grain is very tight, like oak or some other really hard wood. I hand drew the pattern I used for my Viking text image.

Looks great. Nothing wrong with your wood pattern either :bigthup

for creating it yourself.
To me the coloring on the letters was just a bit too similar to the wood background.
Good job.

Not a problem FB...
I see what you're saying and yes I agree. Even so... Esper's tutorials are top shelf in my book. What we do with them and how other see our work is important.
Thanks for the suggestions. I wish more people would do the same.

Don't forget you can always scale up the pattern before use (right click the pattern) to make it look not so tight.
