Skate Deck Design Pt. 2 - Leather band and Background Texture

Leather band
So I definitely wanted to use my friend's leather bracelet as a strap across the bottom of my board. At first I wanted it to look like leather but in playin around with filters it was almost starting to look like a deconstructed fretboard. So I'm kind of stuck on which one to use. I'm thinking given the theme and genre it might make more sense to use the second option, on the other hand both could be quite fitting.
Option 1:

Option 2:


Making these was simply a matter of deleting unused portions of this image and blending in layers, erasing one layer except for the metal parts, then merging them together and adding filters. I've found that Overlay and Multiply are very useful blending modes.


Texture

To make this I used this marble asset, duplicated a couple of times, used overlay and multiply blending modes and did a linear black/purple gradient. I may add more textures depending on how everything else comes along.
