Last year I was learning how to use the 3D features in Photoshop and I did an image mixing a 3D robot with a photography and some dragons in vector. After quite sometime I was checking my images and found it, so I decided to write a tutorial showing how I did that. And, also play a bit more with the new 3D features in Adobe CS4.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create an sort of video-game style image with dragons, fire, smoke, robots and other crazy things.
The wallpaper of this week is really cool space scene created by Patrick Monkel, also known as Monk. Patrick is a graphic designer from The Netherlands, with great sense of color usage and a repertoire of nice light effects in his compositions.

The book suggestion of this week is about colors, one of the most important skills for any designer. The book is called Color Design Workbook: A Real World Guide to Using Color in Graphic Design and it's not only a very useful book, it's a very well designed one.
