Well, unlike some of my other pictures, this is one is really just a very simple edit of the MOAB, which requires minimal skills to do.

1. First, I take the picture of the M.O.A.B., then desaturate it and adjust the brightness and contrast a bit to make it grey.

2. Then, I apply a Chisel Hard Bevel & Emboss to the MOAB layer so that it has a metallic look but not too shabby, making it look like it was reinforced with some extra armor.

3. Then, I create a new layer and put a black Iron Cross shape on it.

4. Afterwards, I type the text "I.B.F.", which automatically creates a Text Layer on top of all. I warped it so it has a curvy and stylish look, as well as applying a Smooth Bevel & Emboss and a slight stroke to the layer.

5. Then, I create another layer and use the Pen Tool (a.k.a. Bezier Tool, note that it's not similar to a brush tool in any way!) to draw the propulsion system, and its fan, give them appropriate color, then apply a Smooth Bevel & Emboss to give them a notably softer feel than the main body.

6. Afterwards, I create yet another layer and again use the Pen Tool to draw the cannons. Make them grey, apply Smooth Bevel & Emboss, and I also apply a slight Satin to them to make them stand out a bit more, and a slight Drop Shadow too. (though I've started to regret applying the Drop Shadow, it looks kinda weird)

6. And finally, I create a final layer, use the Magic Wand Selection Tool to select the cannon holes in the previous layer, go to the new layer, then apply a blackish gradient to make a more convincing hole than just pure black, which looks kinda awkward.

And... that's about it. Not much compared to some others. :/
