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. ![](images/smilies/smile.gif) |

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!!! ![](images/smilies/annoyed.gif) |

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. |
