The readers (or regular visitors) of Marcofolio.net, must already know that I'm a true programmer. Although this is a fact, I do love to kick up Photoshop some times and create something outstanding. For that reason, I'm also subscribed to the Dutch version of Advanced Photoshop - a great Photoshop magazine. The magazine shares some great Photoshop techniques, as wel as good written tutorials and inspirational articles.

Last year, I placed an article online called "Advanced Photoshop Covers (NL #01 - #10)". As you could have expect, this is part 2 of the Dutch Advanced Photoshop Covers that are so inspirational, that you'll surely get your design fluids flowing.

The pictures are taken by me and I apologize for any "reflections" on the magazine. If you like one, I recommend you to check out the portfolio website from the artist. Be ready to get inspired!

It has been a while since I placed my previous high resolution texture pack online. Today, I'm presenting you another texture pack called Water Splashes. This pack contains 8 textures (1500 px of width) of some great water splashes behind a speedboat. I made these pictures while traveling to Camiguin (Philippines).

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.

Don't forget to check out some other great high quality textures that are released on this website before.

Inspiration can be found everywhere. Whether it's the colour of toons or the colours of game heroes that can get your inspiration fluids flowing, the fact remains that you can get inspiration from them.

Today, we're looking at the animal kingdom to draw some inspiration from. Not the full animal kingdom, just a specified part: colourful insects. Some of these insects have amazing colour, while others like to keep it on a suble yet noticeable green hue.

Here are over 50 pictures of amazingly colourful insects! Other than the colour, sometimes the weird shapes of the animals can be enough for inspiration too. Bugs, butterflies, spiders and another colourful insects can be found right here.

I absolutely love computer graphic (CG) 3d art. Some renders look absolutely stunning and almost don't have distinction with reality. One of my previous articles showed some superb badass 3d fictional characters from CGTalk.

CGTalk is the forum from CGSociety. This is a great place where great CG artists like to show their work. This article rounds up 20 breathtaking realistic CG portraits by CGSociety.

Be prepared to see some amazing CG work. If you didn't know these were all created with a computer, would you think it was real? Don't forget to visit the CGCociety, a very inspirational place (Both for 2d and 3d).

Do you think it's time for another great freebie? Yeah, I do to. This time, I present another high resolution texture pack called Jungle Flora. This pack contains 12 textures (1000 px of width) of some beautiful flowers in the jungle. I made these pictures in a local zoo in our neighborhood.

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.
