This is a tutorial that I found on graphics-illustrations.com go check it out, they are part of Green Bulb Gang a creative community. I receive monthly e-newsletters with great hook-ups and tutorials of the month, so I suggest becoming part of that community for some great insight in the world of graphic design.

Here is the original image from the tutorial, I know it’s a little blocked with the writing and the window. But the just of it is a light background image with a dark feathered edge.

I came up with this, a mix of my own background and a quote from Napoleon Hill. I made the background using some brushes I have, mixing the size and the brush. I placed a quote from a great author Napoleon Hill to create a main subject,  the tutorial creates a white subtle space in the middle which is perfect for whatever you can come up with. This was a very easy tutorial a few steps and your done, the only time really needed to spend on this is coming up with what you want for a background and a foreground.

I am really excited about this one it’s really cool looking and teaches some possibilities that lie in the filters. I found this one over at cgtutorials.110mb.com fly on over and check it out for yourself.

Here are the bloody veins of the original tutorial, nice and gross right? I think it’s very much a horror film style really awesome.

Here is my go at it and I like it, very easy to do with an awesome outcome! The tutorial was very easy to follow except when you get to the filter-render-lighting effects stage, you have to click on the little light bulb and drag a new light source in there and get rid of the old one by dragging it to the trashcan. The original light source  just did not give off enough light to show the image, it was actually pretty dark and black with nothing really showing in the image so I had to figure that one out for myself.

I thought there were some more possibilities with this one so I changed a few things on this one, just for fun. I changed the font, messed with some of the colors and messed with the filters a little too, trying to make the veins a little more intense and juicy. This is one more tutorial that shows you the possibilities using filter-render-clouds and filter-render-difference clouds. The veins were created using those filters and 2 other filters no line drawing or hard work, just messing with the filters. I think overall it was pretty easy, very few steps and an awesome outcome.
