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