Im making a custom wolverine theme but need a battery. Can anybody hook one up or tell me how to make one?

Go to Photoshop Tutorials, Flash Tutorials and More! P2L Tutorial Search and search for photoshop tutorials like "metal" or "liquid metal"

Some examples:

sweet, thanx man. I don't have photoshop, i have a program called GIMP. Does mostly the same stuff, just gotta figure it out. So i just use the empty battery as a template and gradually fill it over 17 pngs?

Indeed, that should do the trick. I'm glad it helped you!

Alright, so i might be getting a little ahead of myself but... I was just gonna do a plain liquid metal battery. So i searched for tutorials and pictures i could edit to look like liquid metal and more wolverine pics for my theme. While i was doing that, i found some awsome battery images and got an equally awsome idea. I know its totally possible to do this i just have almost zero photoshop skills. I found an empty vertical battery image that looks like the weapon-x chamber. (youd have to know a little about wolverine to know what im talking about. Hit me up and ill explain) Anywayz, i want to put another pic i got of wolverine inside (behind)the "chamber" and have it gradually fill with liquid metal. I just need help with transparency and other photoshop stuff to get it to work. Can anybody help???
