Light/Energy here?

Is this the kind of effect you guys were looking for? A light/energy effect? This one is kinda simple... I think... heh... took me about five minutes to do, so its not really that hard... Let me know what you guys think of the effect... not the composition :p

thats kinda what i got.

Is it just using the airbrush and a bit of motion blur?

No air brushing.

well how then?

Start with a cloud layer. Duplicated it, and do "find edges" on it three times. Invert the layer, and set to color dodge. Then scale the width of it down a ton. By sixty percent or so. Transform the height to a factor of about six hundred percent or so. Then, remove the excess parts from the layer below it. Merge them down and bam! :D

sweet. i'll play around with it a bit later

cheers man

Swank... Heh... its still kinda basic, though... Mind showing what kind of effect you got to try and make that kind of effect? (not using my way that is... I'm curious as to what you got...)

sure, i will do

Anyone else wish to comment? :p

If u want I can tell u "you are good," on the other hand I'd say you don't explain that well... :(

So what about restating how u did it? Maybe u left off something essential or maybe my f£&%"£g photoshop italian version doesn't know what color dodge is... :confused:
