Oh, awesome! I'm taking your transparent brush set. xD I've been trying to get the transparency pattern for a while now, and I finally found a brush set, which is even better! Thanks for the brushes -and- the tutorial (you used a picture of Calintz! *squeal*). Masks are so helpful.

I didn't know the character's name, so woo! :D Thank you for clearing up my mystery XD

xD You're very welcome. The pic you chose is one of my favorites. *giggle* I like his Crimson Stigmata outfit more than the one he has in Phantom of Avalanche.

the only thing i don't get (because i'm just now starting to use photoshop) is this: Where do you change to multiply mode or screen mode?
