This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.
Supplies Needed:
~Gimp (any version will do).
~Tube of choice. I used the art of Elias Chatzoudis, you must have a license to use this art which you can now get HERE.
~Banner style template. I used the Signature Tag Template by Rieka Rafita which you can get HERE.
~Font of choice. I used Velvenda Heavy, Pixelette & TheNautiGal.
Let's get started!!!
1. Open a new layer ( I prefer a large canvas, so I make mine 1050x656). Make your canvas transparent (Layer > Transparency > Color to Alpha).
2. Open template in PSD format.
3. Open 2 tubes, merge the tubes together (Right click on top tube layer in layer box > Merge Down) Once the tubes are merged together smudge the tubes together using your Smudge Tool in your tool box. Be sure to erase any excess that may smudge outside of the size of your template. See image below for an example of smudged tubes...
4. To get the glow effect you see in the bottom right corner go to Filters > Light & Shadow > Super Nova. Change the color to match your tubes.
