This tut was written on March 23, 2011. It is written using PSPX; I'm sure the same effects are available in other versions.
SUPPLIES A tube. I'm using the work of Elias Chatzoudis. This tube was purchased when this artist was with MPT. You may purchase a license to use this work at PTE.
The following filters: MuRa's Meister - Copies L en K - Trouble Toadies - What Are You?
Font of choice (I'm using "Kato")
Let's begin!
Choose a medium color from your tube, set the other color to white for now.
Open a new image, 600x70
Fill with your medium color, this is only temporary and will be deleted later.
Add a new layer.
Selection Tool - Custom Selection using the following setting:
Fill the selection with white.
Selections - Select None.
MuRa's Meister - Copies using the following setting:
Using your magic wand, click on the spaces between these two lines:
Selections - Modify - Expand by 1.
Fill this selection with white.
Image - Canvas Size to 600x250, putting the extra 180 pixels at the top.
Hide the white layer for now, and delete the temporary background layer.
Add a new layer, fill with the medium color.
Duplicate this layer.
L en K - Trouble using the default setting.
Change the layer setting of this layer to Luminance (Legacy) and the opacity to 80.
Layers - Merge - Merge Down.
Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.
Pick a very dark color from the side of this image - a very dark shade of your medium color.
Effects - Texture Effects - Weave using the following setting, change the two color boxes to your new dark color:
Highlight the white layer.
Effects - Distortion Effects - Warp using the following setting:
Toadies - What Are You?, changing both numbers to 10.
Duplicate this layer.
On the bottom layer, Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow using 1, 1, 100, 1, black.
Change the layer setting to Luminance (Legacy), and the opacity to 80.
On the top layer, Image - Mirror and Image - Flip.
Change the layer setting to Overlay.
Make sure the dark color is your background color, and change the foreground to nil.
Preset Shape - Circle, create on vector.
Starting in the very upper-left corner, draw a big circle (about 240px wide.)
Objects - Align - Vert. Center in Canvas.
Layers - Convert to Raster Layer.
Toadies - What Are You? - default setting (both numbers at 20.)
Change the layer setting to Soft Light.
Duplicate this layer.
Image - Mirror.
Add a new layer.
Selection Tool - Custom Selection using the following setting:
Floodfill with white.
Selections - Select None.
Adjust - Blur - Radial Blur using the following setting:
Toadies - What Are You? using the default setting.
Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise using Uniform, 12, Monochrome unchecked.
Add your tube and a blurry drop shadow (I used Eye Candy 5 Impact - Perspective Shadow).
Add a new layer. Add a 2px Selection border, using your dark color.
Add your name and all necessary copyright information.
For the avatar:
Duplicate your tag (Shift + D.)
Remove all necessary layers.
Crop to 150x150.
Add a new layer.
Add a 2px Selection border, using your dark color.
Add your name (or initial) and all necessary copyright information.
Here is another example, using the work of Michael DiPascale:
