3 images: Capitol + Wood + Bark

Here's the progression of layer orders. Note that some layers were made later (for example the "emboss layer" which provides a little depth trick and the "color layer" which I used to even out tones and tint the sky).


I figured out that if you want an overlay to show on blank white areas I can dim the whites by using levels and the slider to eliminate the top end of the scale to limit the image to black to grey tones. I would guess the same can be done with solid black.

This is great Kadi - and thanks for posting all the steps. I'm going to play around with emboss myself, and definitely will use the levels trick for allowing textures to show on the white bits!

Great work! It has an almost fossilized feel to it - very deep and majestic.

The camouflage-like background seems to loom ominously over the capital.
