Spikes?

Can anyone tell me how to get the spike effect, much like prototype's sig is?? any help is appreciated

ok wat does his sig look like??:confused:
[edit]i saw it and it looks like you would have to draw each spike on it own layer or somthin to keep it organized[/edit]

Prototype's sig is made in some 3d program he has
Here's the url to his tutorial

Hey can u do anythin like that in ps I dont wanna install 3d max coz of too much stuff on my pc it's either flash mx or 3d max and I've neva used it be4 so anywayz any help plzzzzzz?

Just draw them. I´m planning on making a tut for stuff like that on my site, but haven´t found the time....

But a quick-quick suggestion;

Make a selection in the shape of a spike with the LassoTool/PenTool. Then fill the selection with a color of choise. Then use the Dodge/Burn -tool to make the top/middle part lighter and the bottom/outer parts darker. That´s the very basics of making a 3-D feel to it. Then just keep going, "drawing" everyOne of them. Avoid copying the same spikes for as long as you can (..till you drop..lol..) ...Experiment. :D

you can draw it just use a couple layers
and make part of each layer a little darker
then merge them and blur
then change the lighting
if you want you can add a little noise
than do a motion blur in the direction of your thingies
yeah
that should work or I'm just typing for the hell of it
