Someone has lately pointed out the lack of general knowledge in graphics, so I checked out some tutorials and came up with these. Don't really like this, but I liked the idea. I actually kinda liked this one, it was a gift for BT. Followed a tut mace suggested, really don't like the outcome. --- No tut involved in this one, made it for SOTW and though it's simple and I kinda like it.
Nope. You can't follow tuts. Aaaah, I missed the rage. Second is your best, but there looks like only two flow effects. Add more, go beyond the tutorial.
