Beautiful work!

How did I do the inside of the butterfly? Well, it kind of built itself and I am not 100% sure I can remember all the steps. The muse was really flowing at that point. But, I'm sure that's happened to all of us here.

So if I'm a little vague I apologize.;\

What I remember...

I selected the outside of the largest moth form and contracted the selection by 2 px.
Created a new layer below the moth shape but above the background.
Filled the shape with black and did Mark's layers effect on it.
Copied layer twice, linked them and merged.
Lock the transparency.
Filter/distort/displace with the same settings I used for background.
Set layer to multiple.
Created a layer mask and render/clouds.
Then Filter/Pixalate/Crystallize.
Then Image/Adjust/Threshold.
Create a new layer.
Load the selection from the shape you created.
Fill with a linear gradient using the silver metallic gradient.
Filter Noise/Add Noise
Filter/Stylize/Diffuse/Anisotropic
Set Layer to Hard Light.
Create a new layer.
Load the shape again.
Render/Clouds
Filter/Noise/Add Noise.
Lock the transparency.
Filter/Stylize Emboss.
Set Layer to Overlay.
Copy the layer that you applied the Displace to and place it above the layer you just applied emboss to.
Set layer to Exclusion.
Image/Adjust/Hue & Saturation/Colorize and move the sliders to you like what you see.
Create a layer mask and follow the same steps as you did when you Created the first mask. Play with the Threshold slider.
Create a new layer but place it at the very top.
Load the shape.
Render Clouds.
Do the Crystallize/Theshold trick again.
Select and delete the white but leave the black.
Gaussian Blur 1 px to smoth any jaggies.
Set Layer to Overlay.

Enjoy. Have fun. A bagel is calling my name.

Sorry Scorpion!

With all of us posting at the same time, I did not see your posts. [oops]

Your background looks good. I'm not sure where you are getting stuck except your glass texture does not look like my crosses. Are you choosing the right texture when you run glass? It looks like you may be using tiny lens. Click on the texture button then choose load texture. From there, choose your displace.jpg. Also make sure that the smoothness is set at 2.

Gotta go. Good Luck.

its the texture in the shape of a cross i don't understand ur description was "Select all and stroke inside the selection with black at 2 px width."

i don't understand can u save that as a jpg so i can see what its meant to look like plz

Scorpion...
Excellent metal texture you made, i really like that. It's like perferated metal siding of some kind. [righton]

ljiljana...
Great job on the tute. Perfect results. [righton]
Don't be afraid to change the type/colour of gradient as well as the face of the type to something of your own.

I just used metal as an example.

In case anyone's interested, heres a "Grid" filter to help make the effect Moth did. The filter needs to be run on a prefilled layer. So just use white or black. You can remove the bg colour with the SELECT>Color Range filter afterward.
:B

Pretty cool that you can make filters.

Unfortunately, I have a Mac... :{

First... i didn't make that filter. Wish i could, but math bugs me... A LOT! [doh] The author offered to make this filter for me to my specs. And he did an A1 job of it too. His nick is "Kangaroo". In case you wanna search for other filters by him.

Second... ya sorry about that, it's a PC filter. I only know of one place that offers Mac versions of Filter Factory filters: http://showcase.netins.net/web/wolf359/plugins.htm

Just above the master filter list is this link: Open a new window to view FX samples of each Gallery and Collection. Use it to preview the filters.

He has a kazillion or so filters. If you see any you like, just email him with a request to have them converted to Mac. Read his notice about that also.
