Photoshop Tutorial: Sunblind's Custom Style #8 - EyeHeartGold
This style actually started off as "Bluminum," or in normal people terms, blue aluminum. I was messing around with some variations and found one that resembled some kind of cartoonish gold, so I gave it a name and saved it. Enjoy!

Photoshop Tutorial: Sunblind's Custom Style #4 - The Bi-Polar Attraction Set
Another one of my text styles, "Bi-Polar Attraction" (I suck at naming things :/) Actually, I will be showing you 3 variants on the style: Dark, Light, and Electric. All 3 variants are included in the style download at the bottom of the tutorial. I think the effect really looks better with a larger size font, but that's for you to decide.

Photoshop Tutorial: Sunblind's Custom Style #6 - Satin Pillow
I was messing around with my styles the other day and came up with this. I think it kinda has the same look as those stupid little pillows you see at Wal-Mart with "Princess" or "Cute" written on them. But since "Stupid Little 'Princess' Pillow" is too long of a title for a Photoshop style, I call it Satin Pillow. It kinda looks more like silk, but it's my style and I'll call it what I want.
