    • http://dullface.deviantart.com/ Dullface

      I bet you don’t give a shit about it all, your entire day just became a party because of the first comment, didn’t it?
      You don’t even have a website or something to promote, I just don’t see the point of this crap..

      • m. gartsman

        heh. i dig your style. all aboard the hate-wagon!

      • http://www.dsaportfolio.com.br Diego SA

      • urk

        i agree with Dullface.. this whole “FIRST” commenting trend is annoying.. and 99% of the “FIRST” comments i have seen on the web have NOTHING to do with the topic.

      • m. gartsman

    • http://blog.complimedia.com Montana Flynn

      I am tired of 5 comments complaining of the first commenter. If your pissed about the lack of content of off-topicness of the comment, you are feeding into what you despise by posting another comment.

      Now instead of one useless comment tha thas nothing to do with the post, we have 10?

      • Hana Montana

        Now 11, yay!
        You even jumped on the wagon yourself, even though you just preached about not doing it …

      Hi
      Katanaz-stock, Your credit/link is in the full downloadable tutorial. You did give me full permission to use the image. Sorry for the confusion.

      Mark

    • http://aiburn.com/ Sean Hodge

      Katanaz-stock,

      If you need us to send you the tutorial file to show the credit is in the tutorial, then just let me know. It would be best to contact me through our contact form here http://www.formspring.com/forms/?364609-NkKdO8bOSb or just send a suggestion with another way to resolve the conflict.

      I know Mark is fastidious with image rights and seeking permission before using any assets in tutorials, this is something we take seriously at Psdtuts+, and both Mark and I am happy to assist in any way possible. Thanks!

  • reuber1

    This is a good post mainly because I have never even seen some of these, and I started visiting since the site’s inception. Unfortunately, economy is putting me on the fence on this one.

  • http://yuhmm.com Ary Mega

    Been a +member for months now and it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. Great list.

  • RemingtonM

    Did someone really get paid $150 for this? Because it would be insanely easy, and there definitely not the top 10 turorials of all time. If your going to title something like that, they better be good.

  • http://www.sosfactory.com Sergio Ordoñez

    Hey Skellie, thanks a lot for featuring me on 2nd place, its all a compliment :)

  • http://blog.zoomcom.de ZoomzooM

    awesome links

  • Jonas

    It’s not difficult to conjecture how to get our own line brush… Just use Illustrator, cammon’ you don’t need to make we pay for this

  • MaineG

    Starting to get dissapointed in my plus membership… nothing new that’s like OMFG WOW how did they do that…

    I’ll save my money next month if things dont pick up

  • http://www.yesyes.dk Henriko

    I love my membership even more now! :-)

  • spidermonkey

    Looks like I’m going to have to get my plus membership… That first tutorial is exactly what I’m in desperate need of right now!

  • http://www.crearedesign.co.uk/ Jamie Allsop

    These are some really good tutorials, I do like the Using Typography from PS to Create a 3D Text Render in C4D, Part 2.

  • Ward Cauwenberghs

    After this I just had to become member ^^
    Real great stuff!

  • http://www.alwebdesign.ro BBX

  • s

  • Nutzy

    what does the DOWNLOAD button downloads? is it a link to download the VIDEO tutorial or the PSD file?

  • Nutzy

    guys, can someone please reply to my post:

    “what does the DOWNLOAD button downloads? is it a link to download the VIDEO tutorial or the PSD file?”

    i would love to sign up to the plus account if these are video tutorials not psd files.
    anyway, what is the plus in signing up to the plus account?

  • http://www.graphicji.com mj

    I believe that all the links provided are dead. may you please do something about that? some of these tuts look very interesting.
