The letters A to E are somewhat basic in design. As this progresses so do my abbilities. That's why I'm doing This.
These are flat reliefs with bitmap textures applied working with different hieghts etc. The letters are reliefs themselves and in most cases these are placed on a flat relief just a tad bit larger than the letter as an outline, This outline makes the painting much easier by giving you a crisp edge to paint to.
The C,D & E Add additional releifs around the outside.
 The C uses two bitmaps One for the background that the letter sits on and a weave pattern bitmap around the perimeter.
 The bit maps I'm using are from Dan Sawatzky's Texture magic collection.
  I should also mention that these letters are all done Using High Density Urethane Sign Foam, Then the Majority of the finishes are from the Modern Masters line of metalic paints.

Only 21 more to Go u-all come back now ya here.
