Foxxee's Urban Distress

Another damaged filter for those of you who like to fix things

Actually, I was just having some fun and it reminded me of the inner city and all the grime and garbage from years of spray painting, repainting, weathered and worn wood, paper and paint stripped and scrubbed off the surface from concrete and wood structures.

This is just a sample, hoping the filter will show up on Thursday


Using Carl's 'Castle Concrete' to display one of the effects:

ok, since you didnt mind my comments on the other one, there is too much pattern to the 'grime'. break it up, mix it up. that doesnt show much on the first one, but the 2nd there are too many straight lines and at right angles to be 'random grime'. looks great otherwise.

Yes sir! Right away, sir!

But I'll have to wait till they upload it so I can do my famous re-submit

Thanks Persidio, glad you do. I'm not so sure I do though
The inner city is not a place I dream of taking walks through, day or night.
Yep, I new something was bugging me, I couldn't put my finger on it, but when he pointed out the criss-cross pattern in the grime I knew right away that was it.
I appreciate the help and the suggestions from all of you... I may not use them all or find them to my liking when I do (and most I do try, believe me!) but I always appreciate the friendly help

Nice job Foxxee...I really like this filter
