This tut was wrote by me one July 27, 2011. This tut is 100% my idea and any resemblance to another tutorial is purely accidental.
Supplies Needed:
Tube of Choice with a close-up. I am using the Georgus work of Elias Chatzoudis. You can find his artwork
HERE! Please do NOT use the same tube as me without a license!!
VM- Distortions- Small Pox
VM- Distortions- Radial Pox
Ok Let's get started!
Open a 600x250 canvas. Now choose two colors from your tube. Change the background/fill properties to a gradient then click on the color and change your gradient to a foreground-background gradient with these settings- angle 45, repeats 1, and style linear. Flood fill with your gradient.
Now go to effects/plugins/VM distortion/small pox with these settings- frequency 189, strength 235, direction 54. Now back to effects/plugins/VM Distortion/ radial pox with the default settings.
Now open your tube close up then copy and paste as a new layer. Position to your liking. Duplicate your close up then go to adjust/ blur/gaussian blur with a radius of 35. Now lower the opacity to 78 and change the blend mode to hard light. Now go to effects/texture effects/mosiac-antique and use the default settings. Move the duplicate below the original. Change the blend mode on the original to Luminance(Legacy).
Now open your regular sized tube then copy and paste as a new layer and position to yourliking.
Add your copyright information.
Ok now using a font of choice type out Freaky then apply and convert to raster. I applied a slight gradient glow using Eye Candy 4000. Now type out Fairy and convert to raster. Apply your gradient glow again using a different color.
Now add your name and apply the same gradient glow you used above. Now save and you are done.
