Torn open sheet metal or sliced sheet metal

Hey folks,
Currently I try to do this pictures with the transparent hood of the car. Therefore, that i am not realy satisfied with the way the Transition looks like,i thought about making it look like, the sheet metal has been torn open in two diffrent ways.

First I want the to have it look like a giant raptor or mechanical paw has torn it open or sliced it. On both side you need to see the Curly sheet metal.

Sencond I want to do a bigger hole, looking like it was cut out with a sheet metal cutter, where you can see some left over, so itshouldnt be do precise. you see the curly sheet metal on both sides, but there will be a big hole.

I just started using photoshop in version cs5 and tink, that i will need a special brush.


How would yu do that?


Thanks winam

Look through these links: photoshop metal torn edged brush

Brushes would be one way to go but...have you considered ripping/tearing a hole in a large tin can and taking that image as a starting point...might work.
