Saint-michael Version Of Neon/plasma Glow mine look better XP

[Saint_Michael 3]

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

Also to Achieve this as well I recommend Downloading Ringbearer by going here

 

and now you should have something closly resembling this.

ooo looks my spidey girl to me. Pretty nice tutorial but you forgot the most important thing - How'd u get that "buildings-like" brush??!! All you said was to brush and leave white spaces. I have another question coming along with it though which is how you upload the brushes that you provide in ur filefront "profile". I downloaded the file with the plain word "brushes" on it. I downloaded the zip file and extracted the contents. I believe its a .abr file but the "upload toolset" option in the brush toolbar uploads a different extension. Need your help maybe you can tell me something I've missed. Thanks!Oh yeah forgot to comment on the tutorial. Although its a pretty good one i should say with a bunch of blurs giving the "plasma" feel, I still believe the "go crazy" type of plasma background generation is more interesting and would generate much more randomized graphics - no offence on your part. I would give a try on your idea though, great tutorial and i like how you made the spideygirl sort of leans her right elbow on the background itself. Great job!

make sure adobe is close then load the brushes in your preset folder and then open up photoshop again but have to warn you im using Adobe PS CS2 so anything lower the CS most of the brushes might not work.the only blur i used was the glaussian blur and only did that once its the glowing edges that does the work for this,and with the brush i used its in the S brushes just scroll half down and your their, but i wouldn't recommend using the same brush you can but its your creative mind that you have to use different brushes to get the same effect.
