im sure i could mix up a tutorial on clipping masks and displacement maps.

btw...displacement maps can be found in filter > distort > displace.
most people stick with the default settings. now it'll ask you to pick a PSD or signature file which has the layers etc still saved seperately [a PSD - photoshop document lol]. Choose one. It'll then distort the layer with the template of that signature, then you can erase the bad bits..:D

if you still need tutorial on that one, id be happy to do so..

and pentool comes from experience and fiddling around with it...
then if you can make the lines using the tool, ill make a tutorial if i have the time.

FreeStyle that helped me so much. I really appreciate it man. Props. 100 points on the way for a thank-you.

Yeah. I'd appreciate if you made that tutorial on the displacement maps.
Like on munky's tutorial, #7, idk how to do it lol: http://signaturebar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9389

Not so much of the pen tool but I would like to know how that works so in case in the future I know how to make good curves and glows etc..
