You've just taken pictures on your own and edited them to make them seamless. If you want to show us that you actually have some talent, make some from scratch. "
Look, I will say how I do it.Quite simple.
1. I take a photo with my Samsung NV7 ops digital camera
2. I put that picture on my PC
3. I open that picture in Crazy Bump.
4. I choose a shape with Crazybump
5. I play whith Crazybump,until I got the desired result.
6. I take a screenshot
7. I open that screenshot with gimp and i edit that screenshot Cutting,change color, here and there, clone etc.And save it.
8. I use Firma to make a room or walle with this teksture and test it with fpsc.
9. I am satisfied then I put the teksture on the forum.
There will of course be simpler ways to make some teksture's
I also take pictures of ordinary things such as towels, food etc.And edit those photos with gimp and Crazy Bump.
