Step 1 Do any background that has plenty of white space like this. or a background that can be used as a glow enhancer. in order to achieve this you must have at least one layer that is completely white and then set it to color dodge and your set. NOTE:Make sure all your brushing is done in black for the white layer to be used effectively. Step 2 next you get a render that also in black and white like this one. Step 3 and then male a copy of it by using ctrl+j Step 4 now on your copy you want the following settings go to filters>stlylize These are the settings that i used for this render Edge Width 5 Edge Brightness 20 Smoothness 8 NOTE:settings may vary on what kind of render you use. Step 5 then go to filters>glaussian blur then set the blur to between 4-5 just enough to glow and have some shape to it just like this. Step 6 Then put your original render layer on top of your copy and then set it to overlay and your done. Step 7 Next you pick a color it could be solid or a gradient effect just choose which one suits it best Also make sure the colored layer is on top of the render for it to effect as well. For me I went with a solid green color. Step 8 Now for a cool text effect it simple make a copy of your text then go to layer> layer style then click on drop shadow and outer glow at default settings. Step 9and then go to filters> blur> radial blur and use these settings 10 spin good Also to Achieve this as well I recommend Downloading Ringbearer by going here and now you should have something closly resembling this. or

well working with fractals thats the tricky part, to do the depth thing you need to work with several brushes on each layer alternating colors, but you the keey is thought you want to find brushes that give depth into themselves you notice in some of my sigs that I did that and that you need some good grunge brushes to help blend in the sourrounding areas of the depth brush that you use.But for this sig if you take the right grunge brush and and brush it in the right spots you might get the effect your looking for.'Other Then that it look pretty good, blend ing the render jsut a bit and it its even better.

I always teach the younglins like I said in your other gift sig keep at ti and you will get the hang of it.

Well thanks I will add both to my collections, all I can say is keep working at it and you will get better, but since gamerenders.com seems to be kind of um down, i suggest reading some of the tutorials thats we have here and then go to pixel2life.com to read up on them as well.
