Mortanis 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 I was just monkeying around in photoshop, when I discovered this. It was so cool, I thought I should share it with y'all.1. Make a New Document. I used 400x100, but it really doesn't matter what you do.2. Change your foreground colour to #930606 and your background colour to #0000003. Filter -> Render -> Clouds4. Filter -> Distort -> Twirl Here I used 708 degrees, but you may have to do a little guesswork if your image size is different than mine (this applies to all of the steps from now on).5. Filter -> Artistic -> Plastic Wrap Highlight Strength: 18 Detail: 14 Smoothness: 36. Filter -> Distort -> Ripple Ammount: 100% Size: MediumAnd there it is! P.S. Don't worry if your "pool of blood" doesn't look that great; because the "cloud" feature is involved, it will always look different. Here's on I did from before:Now, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that I came up with this on my own, and any similarities to other tuts are mere coincidence. Also, this is my first tut ever, so feedback would be most welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 nice little tutorial had to do some tweaking myself just to get right but im going to play around with it just a bit more and see what i can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfish 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 It's a decent tut, however the plastic rape is too prominent, and sadly the "pool" affect is relegated to a spiral as per the nature of the tutorial. (some creative use of the polar coordinates filter "might" be able to fix it, but not without more work then is necessary i would think.)all in all not bad for a quick affect. (i happen to like dumbledore's a lot more, just the way the clouds formed i suppose.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albus Dumbledore 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 well thanx :-D if only it wasn't really a spiral, but just ripples in a circular motion around a certin point, it will look as if a drop of blood or somthing was droped into the origional pool of blood..but i still like how mine turned out and his :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mortanis 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2006 yeah, as I said, it'll always turn out different, with the cloud filter. And good job, dumbledore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
