  • Design old school death metal demo style artwork using Photoshop! 💀
    In this episode I walk you through a tutorial making death metal demo style artwork in a really gritty 90's style. We photo-bash some sweet stock PNG's from Envato Elements and some cool environment photos that I took in a sick location, then draw extra detailing over it and finally texture it up using a lot of noise and grunge for that authentic old school aesthetic.
