thanks bro, very nice.

out of interest how did you do it? just use the rubber tool very close?

pen tool in photoshop, honestly i did it a bit lazily but it did the job sort of fine

i just use a point, select a relatively close or far area where i can wrap the contents between the point around it, as so:

one of easiest, effective, and accurate ways i know.

if you spend moderate time (20-30 mins), it should come out a lot better than i did it.

you could always closely pin points together, making a very accurate, but far more time-consuming render

I don’t really use photoshop that often but thanks for that tip DEFET, should help me out in the future.
