Nice stuff, perhaps you should design some wallpapers with that technique. It would look kickass. |

How did you discover how to do this? Was it on accident?
Those are some AWESOME flowers. I should think of something I can do with them. |

The Petal
1.) Okay, start with a 4x4 inch Photoshop document with a black background...
2.) Create a New Layer
3.) Using the "Pen Tool (P)", set it to "Paths", "Exclude overlapping path areas" and Check the "Auto Add/Delete"
4.) Now that you're set, we will create a petal. Create a long, board, slightly curved line. Then Follow up with a broad S shaped line and connect.
5.) Right click on the path and click "Make Selection"
6.) Using white, press Shift F5 to fill the selection
7.) Go to Select > Feather and set it to 5 pixels
8.) Press Delete and Deselect (Ctrl + D)
Congrats! Your first Petal!
Making the flower
1.) Duplicate that layer and goto Edit > Transform > Scale
2.) Change the size to whatever while holding Shift, and rotate for a better effect
*try changing sizes, rotating, then position them into a blossom*
3.) Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you are satisfied with your flower.
4.) On the "Layers" tab, click on one of the layers containing a petal, and link all your petals together and press "Ctrl + E" to merge them.
Congrats! Your flower is created!
Adding some plasmic smoke
1.) Duplicate your flower
2.) Goto Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontally
3.) Position the bottoms together
4.) On the duplicate, Goto Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. I entered these settings:
Angle: 45* Distance: 6
*If it does'nt look right to you, adjust the settings until you are satisfied*
5.) Link the layers and merge
Colors and stuff
1.) Create a new layer and set the blending mode to "color"
2.) Fill the whole thing with any color you want. I chose "0071BC".
*You can play with gradients and or color clouds on this layer!*
Extra stuff: The things you don't have to do...
1.) Set a brush to 4 pixels in width and 100% hardness
2.) Click on the "Toggle the Brushes Palette"
3.) Use these settings:
-Brush Tip Shape:
--Roundness: 100%
--Spacing: 22%
-Shape Dynamics:
--Size Jitter: 100%
---Control: Fade 300
--Minimum Diameter: 3%
--Angle Jitter: 10%
---Control: Off
--Roundness Jitter: 6%
---Control: Off
--Minimum Roundness: 25%
-Scattering:
*take off "Both Axis"
--Scatter: 1000%
---Control: Off
--Count: 1
--Count Jitter: 100%
---Control: Off
4.) Create a new layer under the colour layer and set the blending mode to "Color Dodge"
5.) Drag the new brush from the bottom to the top while curving to give it a special snow effect!
Easier done than said, believe me! Phew!!!  |

G...just...how...wow.
If that's some sort of easy to-do with symmetric-like effects, I sure as heck wouldn't know it. That looks coooool. |
