Week 16 - Alphas and VDM Brushes

In order to do alphas, we had to create a high contrast monochrome image with soft edges for a seamless repeat pattern. This involved using colour filters and adjusting the contrast, and using an airbrush and clipping brush. 

Here is the alpha (I figured out how to make it in firealpaca)

And here are the results:



You can adjust the settings like Z intensity too

VDM brushes:
