Wallpaper of the Week #118 by Abduzeedo
Wallpaper of the Week #118 by Abduzeedo
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial for Digital Arts Magazine.

The tutorial will be available soon, but stay tuned because I will post the PSD file so you guys can take a look at how I did it.
