It's a start, but it needs more color variation. Try not to make anything with a monochromatic tone to it. Anyway, I've just completed another "Sci-Fi" type texture. I think this one is a lot better than the previous one. 100% hand painted (or rather made from scratch).

Both of those look fucking awesome Squirrel!
Do you always have to make a simple model to do a normal map?
Very cool stuff, squirrel.
Hey Squirrel, really nice tech textures, awesome detail.
I have a question, it might not be of any importance but
I wonder anyhow, what size are they supposed to be in?
And did you have an idea for what game they could be used in?
I mean they look like a close up of a bit of a wall or something,
for source the fittings looks to big when a player is about half the size of a 512 texture...
Just wondering. 
Had no thought about the scale of the texture when creating it. It isn't even supposed to be used in-game. It was just meant to help me improve my overall hand-texturing abilities. Practice, if you will.

Well they look fricken great. What did you mean by the gradient tool is so good?
Any chance of a quick tutorial on how you did them? Even 5 minutes of your time would be invaluable.
Good job.
Its a matter of experimenting, really. I mainly use the gradient tool for objects that I would see curving around surface, as if it were a pole or something similar. You can also use dodge/burn, but I find the gradient tool better for a smoother representation of the surface. Its all just a personal preference. It's ALL geometry. I used the shape tool (press 'U' for shortcut) for almost all of the texture, and brushed details such as wear and tear on top of it all. Its really hard explaining, as everyone uses a different method, but as I said at the begining, just experiment. Creativity is one of the greatest tools at your disposal.
is it supposed to look cartooney?
i think so, i mean i know peri can easily do photo-realistic. looks good none the less, very WoW-style.
Maybe make the paper so it isn't see through? Otherwise, looking good!
looking good peris.
tcos style 
That looks awesome Pericolos0. Fix the paper though.
you have to see it like this, its hanging in a saloon, beers have been spilled over it, its all sticking to the wall... its not transparant, just brownish paper :wink:
And me, I thought it was a crate ;P
Thing is, the wood grain is really showing through it--that's the worst part to me.

It's very clean now, I'm gonna rough it up more, add some models etc... The new thing is really just the texture.. Expect more updates on my site! In a couple of weeks =)
C&C ? :~]
(are you still working on your HI map? i didn't know you were making one)
Could we see the flats?
Skjalg :
looking good so far , but i suggest takeing out that dock and maybe adding a custom one so people dont feel the hl2 .. you know what i mean?

I think it's just a placeholder.
