woopidoo2 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Shannon told me to make a tut about something, so I started thinking, and I made an easy tutorial, for those who are new to photoshop. The good thing is, you dont need to download anything. How it will end up: Lets start: Step 1: Create a new canvas, by clicking File>New> (Width 300, Heigth 150)With a white background. Step 2: Grab the Gradient tool, and make sure youve got the colours black and white selected. Dont forget to check and uncheck these: Step 3: Now you drag lines with your mouse, and do this upto 15-20 times, when you see some kind of tunnel showing up. the result: (without the glowing light) I couldnt get it exactly right, the light will come later. Step 4: colour. When youve done this, you press 'Ctrl + U', you click 'colorize' and you start playing with the colours. (Tip: Put Lightness a bit to left, Saturation to Right, and the Hue you can dicide.) Step 5: Now youve got something like this: Step 6: Now press 'Filter>Render>Lens Flare' And put the light into the tunnel, bottom left, the light must not be to big. Step 7: For a 'Grungey' effect, you press 'Layer>New>Layer' and press ok. Step 8: when youve got this layer selected, you press Right click on your Gradient tool(left in the vertical bar), and select the Paint Bucket tool. Step 9: Dont panic, now you select the colour Black and you click on your image, this will fill up in black then. Step 10: Press 'Filter>Render>Clouds' and there will appear clouds, and then you go to the bottom right of your screen, and select Vivid light: Well ur quite done, now we add a border to finish: Step 11: Press the Rectangular Marquee tool: then you press Right click on ur image, Select all>Right click>Stroke Then: press '4 px' in the Center, then click ok. Then you press Stroke again, but this time 1 px with the colour white (instead of black,above) in the Center and press ok then press Right Click> Deselect and ur done! Result: (its 30k, for those who like it they may have it.) I hope you learned from this tutorial, Now you know a bit more about getting along in photoshop, without downloading any extra tools, like brushes :) ~Woopidoo2.

Goldwolflord Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Wow, looks good. I think that'd look great if you recreated it once or twice in a sig, and added a few additions. Good tutorial, but one question: With gradient, you don't need to change it to difference or whatever, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroi_Ame Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Lol, woopidoo, you've inspired me: These are so easy to make I might just forget about MSPaint when creating signatures. Woopidoo-do you know how to make one of these with a render from a site? Also do you know where to get already-cropped renders? I might try to improve on this sort of thing, it's awesome! do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldwolflord Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Too plain; Too little colours, text is too plain, hard to read, and try not to overuse Lens flares... Seldom do you see a sig that actually uses a lens flare properly/well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
