Very nice! Although I wouldn't know how I ever get to punch a hole that small on a penny. :p

Beautiful Pete

Thanks Arun and yeah you're right Andy, i wasn't thinking. It's also bronze effect so technically it's all completely wrong

Although, a drill works pretty well (except that technically it's illegal to deface Sterling!) lol Nice work.

Just to add, that's the Bronze Effect - Metallic section in DPX4 I haven't adjusted anything, only added a bit of drop shadow to the face pieces of the image.

(Edit- Sorry i think i played with the lighting a bit)

it came out really nice.The colors are brilliant

yes, I like it, and lucky objects just as much, well done pete

Great work Pete
Did you use the eraser tool to punch out the squares of the port culis (or whatever it is)??
Love the texture and the grime

Actually no, i used align left to right with set gap and then grouped it and then used align top to bottom with gap. Then cut that out of the lower image... And now you've just told me a much easier way thanks

Minus the effects

The actual image before effects is really simple. Drawplus sorts all the hard bits out

Ha Ha!!
You bamboozle me with set gaps and alignments -I am a mere artiste
