OK guys this is my first tut ever and i got a few comments on the BG of this
so im gunna teach you (hopefully) how to make this BG (its the same BG only withourt the green tint), i want to announce that i borrowed some ideas for the first few steps from Shadowraith on gimptalk.com, just the B&W part the rest is mine however.

i used these brushes so get'm if you want
set 1(Keep-Dreaming-Ultimate-Vol-2)
set 2(Ad-Hero-s-Reactions-Brushes)
set 3(Sentinel-GFX-Cloud-Grunge)


first open your canvas i used 400x120 but you can use w/e

1. fill it with black



2. make a new layer
then set your FG color to white and stroke around with a brush from set 2
set to normal at 100%



3. make a new layer
set your FG color to black and brush over the white with a the same or similar brush from the same set, but make sure there is some white showing
set to normal at 100%



4. make a new layer
change your FG color back to white and make a few clicks using the same or a similar brush from set 2
change your FG color back to black and make lik 1 click towards the bottom with an ad hero brush
put it on normal at 100%



5. make a new layer
do edit->copy visable->paste
go to filters->blur->motion blur
set the length to 80 and the angle to 165
set to normal at 100%



The following layer is optional and unless u place a render in the center of the piece like so it can really ruin the flow (thanks for pointing this out sonic beam)

6. make a new layer
set your FG color to 4d6583
use brushes KD_Ultimate_Ed-02-41 and KD_Ultimate_Ed-02-45
to create some flow to the right side of the tag
set on normal at 100%



7. make a new layer
set your FG color to white
use the SentGFXCldGrng1-5 once on the left side
then rectangle select the entire layer and copy it
make a new layer, paste it in and flip it (shift-f)
set on normal at 100%



8. make a new layer
your FG color should still be white
use the SentGFXCldGrng1-7 once on the right side
then rectangle select it and copy
make a new layer, paste it in and flip it
set on normal or grain merge at 100%



if you skipped step six it should look kind of like this



I know it may look kind of plain in the center, but thats where your render goes lol
lets see some examples!!

NO RIPPING!!!

This is actually a pretty good tut.
The only bit I don't like are the blue lines it ruins the blending.
I'll make an example soon.

alrite
as i went back i noticed that as well, i've never made just the BG b4. i used the blue lines as coloring for later, you set them to overlay or something lik that once you've added in your render and they change colors a bit to match the render, or atleast it worked that way 4 me.

Netrix: OMAIGWASH! Netrix is back!!!

Anyway, not to get off-topic, the blue lines seem to be distracting. Without it, the BG tag will surely be uber!
