In case no one has mentioned it.... your work keeps getting better and better.

Love the suspension, btw. The one on the right is very nice and a new one for me.
As always, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, my friend. Often times, though, I feel like I've reached a plateau I can't surpass. As to the one on the right; check your Frog Library, you have seen her before, you just don't remember. Hey, it happens to me too. I have so much stuff I don't remember what I've got stored. That is why I sometimes have five copies of something I think I've never seen before.

Amen to that brother. I also have a habit of not looking at individual work very often so I don't over memorize them and become bored with them. A lot of what I have I've only really seen one time when I saved it, yours included. So yeah you're right about forgetting what I have. That and sheer volume of stuff. I recently bought a 6tb external hard drive to back up another storage drive, if that tells ya anything. But on the plus side, if ya can't remember it then it's like a new one to ya all over again.

Well said and true.

I am thrilled and can only join Wulf in his opinion. The image is a blast.
Right now I'm trying to focus on postwork my images, as the possibilities offered in 3D don't always have the desired effect.

If you could help me out there with some tips on using brushes for whipmarks, bruises and burns I would be very grateful.

Here is something on the first thing I usually do to simulate marks, bruises, etc. I'll deal with the brushes later. I found out about brushes after I had been using the burn tools for a while. Lately I've been also experimenting with filters. Like everything else, just trial and error. Most of the time it doesn't really work and I bet I don't even know the full potential of these tools.
I have also collected cut-outs of wounds that I occasionally use. There is one for burns, I couldn't find.

Here is the brush tool. I hope it is useful, I know there is so much more that can be done with these tools than what I've managed to find out by just playing with them.

@AE, I forgot to add, you can save the different brush settings you use so as not to have to reinvent the brush again.

Thanks for sharing frog.

Along with all the marks, you do an excellent job at matching shading, tint, etc. It's part of the reason your images are so good. They are composites but taken as a whole, they really look like a complete image, not images pasted together.

A question, do you use different layers when you do your welts? IOW, do you have a base layer that simulates the bruising of the flesh, than lay the welt over it?

Something more on color and brushes.
