this tutorial is like this topic... i`ve gathered everything i learned from there...
all the credits go to ASHAR and the other people who contributed to it... i just wanted to simplify it... hope no one gets upset...

 

so start Adobe Photoshop and let`s begin... :meuh:

 

1.create a new document of any size... i usually make them in 1280x1024...

 

2.press D to load default colors

 

3.fill layer 1 with black (alt+backspace) double click on its thumbnail and make these gradient options (or do what OsquiGene says in post #8 in what color u desire)

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora1.jpg

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora2.jpg

 

4.create a new layer ctrl+N

 

5.using the pen tool draw a path like in the image (be sure to have your pen tool set up like in the image)(if you made OsquiGene`s background make the curves over that background)

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora3.jpg

 

6.now click on your brush tool and set its size to 5px (opacity 100% and flow 100%)

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora4.jpg

 

7.click again your pen tool, then right click on the path,select stroke path, then in the dialog box select brush (simulate pressure disabled)

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/untitled.jpg

 

8.repeat step 5 and step 7 until you think you have enough curves

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora5.jpg

 

9.now double click on layer 2 thumbnail and apply these settings

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora6.jpg

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora7.jpg

 

10. final result

 

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa287/cellblade/aurora8.jpg

 

i hope i didn`t upset anyone... i just wanted to simplify everything you can find here

 

enjoy... :meuh:

 

p.s.: all colors are optional feel free to do this in what colors you deserve

No thanks for the author of the original wallpaper ?  :cry:

 

For the background

Quote :

I think it's not a good idea because the result is very straight.
Use a background color and with a brush do the lights and shadows, the result is realy better.

 

Sorry for my english :beurk:

Well... here's my idea for something like that. Make a liquified radial effect what you have a tutorial for. Then use pen tool, with big brushes, add some blending and that would be everything I suppose :tongue:

well pen tool i agree... but it`s kinda hard to do it like in the pic... lot`s of pen tool skills are required...
and he considers him to be a noob... but i say that he has more pen skills then i have...

Or maybe he used some nice Brushes and added blending. I have some brushes like this one. Search up on dA.

ok, sorry i've been away for like a week but i will explain as best as i can :jap:

 

1. For the ripply blue background make a radial gradiant foreground to transparent blue or whatever colour from the corner to however far out.

 

2. Go here http://forum.crystalxp.net/index.php?showtopic=22001 and do steps 5 - 9 to get the liquified radial effect from the corner.

 

3. Now do what this great tutorial explained here but instead of from top to bottom, make it so it spreads out from a corner and occasionally over laps over one another. ( if you want you can style it and bevel and emboss it ) Then go Filter>Distort>Wave and mess around a bit with it until you see what you want to see happen.

 

4. Make a new layer and ctrl+click the previous layer fill it with white and give it a white outer glow. this will give the original line more "power" to it.

 

5. Make a new layer and ctrl+click the layer that was made in the tutorial and dump white into it, then if you want you can style it by giving it an outer glow, Deselect, then go Filter>Distort>Wave and again mess around with it until you see it look as if the lines are twirling around the original one.

 

6. Repeat step 4 for more swirling lines, what i did was style each one differently such as give one a slight inner glow or a slight outer glow. ( I only made 2 extra twirling lines around the original one both with slightly different styling settings )

 

7. for the fade out effect on the outsides, make a reversed foreground to transparent gradiant with the foreground colour being black and increase the opacity stop somewhat until you are content to where the fading begins.

 

8. Make a nother non-reversed foreground to transparent gradiant with the foreground being white from the corner and out a little to make it seem as if the lines are coming a "great source of power"

 

9. and least of all, tweak it a bit, make it look like what YOU want it to look like, that includes changing colours, styling techniques, and sizes.

 


 i know this is very brief but i am very short on time at the moment busy with work and other stuff, sorry but i think it explains decently enough.    Thankyou.

 

( oh and here is the .psd if you want to look at what i did Download pzzow.psd)
