Announcement
PixelXS.com will be closing over the next few months. I'm in the process of making a new website; Domonline.net, which will contain all of the tutorials on this website, Photoshop goodies, and some of my portfolio work. Links from tutorial directories will be redirected to their new location, so accessing my tutorials from there will still be simple.
Thanks for everything, it's been great fun running PixelXS.com, but it's time to move on. Look out for Domonline.net!
