Just two here, since I screwed around and experimented a lot while doing the door ajar one which meant a lot of time used on things that I didn’t even use in the end =P
Still using that lance from a few lessons ago. The gradients that use alpha are fun. Started with a light blue gradient for background, but then flare glow to each side of the lance, and then erased the outside of the zone between the flare glow edges (selections tools made erasing that super easy) and then added a darker bg. It’s kinda silly but I like how it could be used for like tails/trails and now the lance somehow looks like it’s doing something

Although the result isn’t what I had in mind, lotsa things happened here and in the end I just decided it was time to just clean up a bit and call it a day with this one. Still had fun messing around with different kinda gradients.

I tried to experiment a little with different gradient types, but this is about all I got.

Do you mind if I set the duck as a custom emote on our Twitch channel?

I decided to extend the previous challenge with this one, making four new items with shadows/outlines of the missing item. This time, gradients were also used.
helmet helmetShadow First, I started with a helmet for armor.
NewShield shieldShadow Then, I went with a shield.
orb orbShadow I changed things up with a new border and did an orb with an engraved symbol.
key keyShadow Then I decided to go with a simple golden key.

I tried it with a fire-enchanted sword, an ice-enchanted axe, the silhouette of the axe (with shading in the background) and a not-at-all Diablo inspired Level-up icon :wink:
