We have a new PLUS tutorial from Sergio Ordóñez. If you're wondering who he is then review this Interview he did on the PSDTUTS site not to long ago. For this tutorial, we contracted him to create a unique character design just for the PLUS Members to review his working process in creating it. So, for those of you signed up for PLUS you've got a real treat in store. We also included wallpaper-size version of the final presented designs. I've already set one on my desktop.
Sergio Ordóñez
Sergio Ordóñez, the self-proclaimed genius behind SOSFactory, and pioneer in corporate mascot design for the web. You can also find him posting regularily at his blog SOSNewbie or on Deviantart at sergitosuanez.
SOSFactory Style Mascot Design in Photoshop
The tutorial is available as a download package through your PSDTUTS Plus membership. The download includes the HTML tutorial files, the layered PSD as well, the English Version of the tutorial (we also included the original Spanish version as well, as Sergio first wrote this in that language and then had it translated). Below is the Final Image Preview of the completed character design.
Wallpapers - Final Presentation
The tutorial has a Final Presentation section in which Sergio presents some wallpaper-size designs. We decided to make these available to everybody. There are three to choose from below:
You can grab the wallpaper-size version with board here.
You can grab the wallpaper-size version without board here.
You can grab the wallpaper-size version with limited color palette here.

I want more regular tutorials. I don’t want to pay money for a free site.
( )Alex August 20th
I´m from Brazil and visit the site everyday , for me it´s the best photoshop tutorial site. You have great tutorials , but i need to know one thing , now all the new tutorials will be PLUS ??? For 2 days , you guys posted 2 great tuts and it´s only for plus users. If this continues , i guess you guys will lose a lot of visitors. Unfornantly i can´t pay for the plus membership and i´ll need to go to other sites to get good tutorials. Besides this , congratulations for the site and the tuts.

Guys – chill out – I’m sure there will be lots of non-plus content coming our way
( )Raphael August 21st
Isaac, you should be happy PSDTuts give us so good content, even if we have to pay 9US$ month.
Do you know how expensive is hiring those artists?
Well done Sean, I have read the tuto and its trully amazing, really inspiring.
( )Asiris August 21st
Ok. I’ve read this one. It’s great! Thanks PSDTUTS and Sergio for this tutorial.
There is another amazing artist I’d be happy to see a detailed tutorial from. It’s Elias Chatzoudis:
His site: http://www.elias-design.gr
His DeviantArt account: http://chatgr.deviantart.com/
He has 2 tutorials on his site, but they are lack of comments aren’t that detailed as I expected.
Hope you’ll be able to convince him to write a tutorial.
Anyway thank for the current one once more! You’re great!
( )PanPan August 21st
Impressive !
( )Zach August 21st
Is there a way to pay for just one article? Because I really want this one, but I don’t have the cash to sign up for a membership just yet.
( )Dullface August 21st
Awsome, theyre getting a lot more frequent! Keeping your customers happy is a good thing, i have yet to regret signing up yet. By the looks of it, I’m staying! Thanks for a great tut site, i learned so much so far.
( )Zach August 21st

Sergio is one of the best designers i´ve ever seen.
( )I wish psdtuts take care of him and show us more tutorials.
Congratulations, kindest regards
w1sh August 21st
Looks like you could accomplish this by combining a few different tuts from his website.
Make an Envato subscription for $10/mo and I’ll sign up.
( )Dullface August 22nd
Wow, after having had a look at this Tut, it’s worth its weight in gold. Sooo much good stuff in there, besides the tut itself! Wow.
