Stone Work 2

 


Step 1:

  1. Create a new image, 200 x 100, 64M colours
  2. Select the fill tool, pattern and load in your chosen stone pattern, you can use one of these if you don't have one.

 

Step 2:

  1. Apply your text

Step 3:

  1. Save the text selection to an alpha channel
    1. Selections, Save to Alpha Channel
    2. Save it as Stone1
  2. Clear the text (Delete)
  3. Restore the selection from the alpha channel
    1. Selections, Load from Alpha Channel
    2. Select Stone1
  4. Invert the selection (Shift-Ctrl-I)
  5. Apply drop shadow

Options

Repeating the drop shadow, gives a stronger carving.


Re-invert the selection (so it just selects the text shape) and colourise the inside. This is Shift-U for RGB, Red=20, Green=10, Blue=0. Then darken the selection to taste.


This is same style, but Red=-20, Green=-20, Blue=100. Then I've re-applied the selection invert and drop shadow.
