Congratulations everyone, can’t wait for the tutorials :)
I was JUST about to say… that’s almost a complete duplicate from NoPattern, so I hope he gives adequate credit.
Congratulations to all the winning entries and runner up submissions, great looking winner tut!!…it will be interesting to see the fruit tutorial too :o)
cool results!
i love the citrus one
looking forward to seeing them
Congrats winners, I too am looking froward to the citrus one, and I don’t like citrus fruit!
Will be cool to find out how the Chuck Anderson effect is created if Jeff’s tutorial is published here :)
they deserves to be a winner.
I really like the first one in the participants section. I hope it’s published I’d love to try to do it!
nice designs / tuts, those fruit look good enough to eat,

YAY!
Congrats winners! I can’t wait to do these tutorials!
Nothing like ripping a friend of mine in the first one there Mr. Stout.
@JoshB: Chuck has done some tutorials for Computer Arts that show you how to do that, as well as several tutorials on this site teach you the same methods, it’s all in the application and colouring. :)
@Geoff, I did indeed credit Chuck Anderson. In fact the name of the tutorial was: Inspired by Chuck Anderson. His piece, Godlike, was always one that I admired so I went about figuring out how to produce something similar. Not trying to steal work or anything. I hope Sean is interested in publishing this tut, too.
Congrats to the winners
none of them contents look good!
my opinion
Congratulations everyone! Can’t wait for the tutorials :)
yay I’m a participant haha.
Congrats winners, i would love to see Jeffrey’s tutorial.
Why the hell did third place get third place? Anyone who thinks vector is good should quit photoshop and start painting already. There’s even a freaking vector tutorial within the past week on this site, and it’s better than that too!
Awesome! Great work :D
Oh boy those are gonna be cool!
congrats to the winners and participants. Hope the tutorials will be published soon!

Sorry, but you’re mistaken there. There’s no such thing as better technique. What matters is the final result.
And I think this image is amazing. I think it deserved first place.
This is a such fantastic pleasure to me of winning this contest.
The first time I earn so much of money I think, hehe.
wow CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners, all are nice…
@ Jeff Stout – Good on ya for crediting C. Anderson’s work… just a little close of a match that’s all. Using subject matter other than a parking lot would have made it more your own.
@ ViniMan – Congrats, but tooting your own horn is quite pompous.
nice post! i really hope that you guys post Jeff Stout’s tut! Thank you!
Congrats to all who participated.
Like to see a similar contest for nettuts soon.
congratulation to the winners i would love to see Jeffrey’s tutorial..great post
they are all winners.. hope to read another tutorial….^_^
great tuts! love the site as well!
Great contributions. This shown how PSDTUTS Users are learning from the site.
Can’t wait to see these tutorials posted on PSDTUTS, especially the one by Tom Miatke. I love this effect.
