Actually, I didn't use any alphas for that. Unless there's a very specific detail I need I rarely use alphas. I prefer to use Tool > Surface > Noise on layers, turn down the opacity, and then pick out the most interesting shapes and details I see in the chaos. I suppose I should try to work some alpha stamps into that workflow, but at the moment I feel I waste too much time photomanipulating and tweaking settings rather than doing artistic shit. Which is funny, because when I use Maya I tend to get super technical.
