so heres my first post and tutorial,hope ya'll like it

1) make a new 500 x 500 pixels image with black back ground

2) make a symbol whit a size 17 fuzzy bush like this ( try holding shift down to draw a straight line ) :



3) press: Filter > Disort > Twirl , with 200° angle



4) press: Filter > Artistic > Plastic wrap , with 15, 9, 7 as your settings

5) press: Filter > Brush strokes > Angled Strokes , with 50, 15, 3 as your settings

6) press: Ctrl+Alt+U ( and make sure that the "colorize" box is checked ), with 193, 82, 0 as your settings



7) duplicate ( Ctrl+J ) your layer 3 times, and name the 1st layer "layer1" and the 2nd layer "layer2" and the 3rd layer "layer3"

8) set the blend mode to "lighten" on all the layers

9) on "layer1" press: Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal

10) on "layer2" press: Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical

11) on "layer3" press: Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal and then Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical

merge the layers together ( Layer > Flatten image OR Ctrl+E 3 times)



12) on your only layer press: Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates , with "Polar to rectangular" as the settings

13) duplicate the layer ( Ctrl+J )

14) on your new layer press: Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical , now set the blend mode to lighten and merge the layers together ( Ctrl+J )

[K3V1N]

Kevin21 was me okay, just thought i'l change usernames..

well the problem was that my shape wasnt realli in the middle so when i twirled it, the shape went different, which made the whole thing look different to yours, but neways i made it look similar though..

[lazo]

nice work m8

[Jamie Huskisson]

i'd stop at step 6 to be honest, theres no much use for the rest of the tutorial

or maybe step 11, as that could possibly used for a logo...

but thanks for adding this, nice one

[IceRush]

hey thanks dudes,K3V1N try having a dot in the middle and then holding shift and clicking at the spot where u want it,it turns out better

[DeathWish^!]

Don't think of me bashing, because I know you couldn't of stolen it from me because I made a tut on my site long ago, but it hasn't been arround for a couple years, but images look identical.

newho it is cool
