Black Hole Tutorial

[tacoX]

Step 1

Create a new image (Mine was 400x250). Fill background with black. Render two lens flare's with the above settings.

Step 2

Go into the twirl filter and use the above settings.

Step 3

Duplicate the Layer. Press CTRL+U, check colorize and colorize to a color of your liking. I used a dark purple.

Step 4

On your new layer, go into the radial blur filter and use the above settings.

Step 5

Double Click your layer, and change the blending mode to linear (or color) dodge. I suggest you experiment with this. If you select darken you will get a totally different, and cool effect

Final Product

If you use lighter colors, I suggest you try doing a 'darken' blend, it comes out a lot cooler (very plastic-like). Thanks for the comment =).

That looks amazing dude. I like it how it starts from very bright, and goes down to almost dark.
