Out of curiosity, when was this first "discovered" as I had thought I had not seen any mention prior to https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...521#post607521. Equally, has anyone then rotated the image 90° or other angle before making another brush as this allows for the moulding to take on a meshed effect. If anyone, it ought to have been Angelize.
