Difficulty :
• Step 1: Create a new image (something like 500 X 200 is good here, you can crop the result later). Make sure the RGB mode is selected, now click ok!• Step 2: Go to Filter>> Render>> Clouds. Then go to Filter>> Render>> Difference Clouds.
Press Ctrl + F (Command + F for Mac users) about 5 or 6 times.
• Step 3: Go to Filter>> Blur>> Radial Blur and use these settings:
Amount: 51, Blur Method: Zoom, Quality: Best or Good.
• Step 4: Go to Filter>> Texture>> Patchwork. Set the Square Size to 1 and the Relief to 2. Then go to Filter>> Sharpen>> Sharpen.
• Step 5: Duplicate the layer (Layer>> Duplicate) and just use the default settings. Next, go to Filter>> Stylise>> Extrude. Use the following settings:
Type: Blocks, Size: 5, Depth: 30, Random. Keep the boxes below that unchecked.
• Step 6: Go to Filter>> Blur>> Gaussian Blur and set the radius at 0.7. Now change the layers opacity to 50% and merge the layers (Crtl+E is merge).
• Step 7: Now it’s time to add some color. Press Ctrl + U, check the ‘Colorize’ box and simply move the sliders around until you get a nice color. Also, hit Ctrl+L to change things until you get the lighting how you want it.
That’s it! I hope this helps. Remember to keep coming back.
Here are two I did while doing this tutorial:
Final
This tutorial will teach you how to create a simple blood effect.
Difficulty :
First you’ll need to open a new document in Photoshop. I chose to use 400 X 400 pixels, with a white background.
• Next go up to, Filter >> Render >> Difference Clouds. You will want to repeat this step 5 times, you can press Command + F on the mac, or Control + F on the PC, five times. This will Redo the last used filter. In this case, it was the difference clouds filter that was last used.
• Now go to, Filter >> Artistic >> Plastic Wrap. I left all of the settings at the default settings, so just hit OK.
•Now hit Command + U on the mac, Control + U on the PC. This will open the Hue & Saturation dialog. You’ll want to click the check box that says “Colorize”, then slide the saturation slider to 54 and hit OK.
•Now you’ll want to go to your tool pallet and click on the Burn tool.
•Now you’ll just need to “burn” highlighted areas all over, you can choose to burn the areas you’d like, I usually burn the really bright highlights. There is no specific way to burn, or any certain pattern you should follow, you just need to burn it to your liking. Your final result should resemble the image at the top of this tutorial.
