Glowing Cat Eyes Tutorial

[aceeccc]

Ok, this is my first tutorial so I need opinions.

1. Open a new Photoshop document. (I used 500x500)
2. Fill it with black.
3. Filter-->Render-->Lens Flare, put one in each corner and one in the center.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+U. (You don't have to do it. I just invented this backround with this step.)
5. Duplicate the layer and set the blend mode to lighten.
6. Filter-->Distort-->twirl 500 degrees.
7. Duplicate the original layer and drag it to the top. Set the blend mode to lighten
8. Filter-->Distort-->twirl -500 degrees.

9. Merge all layers
10. Ctrl+U to colorize image. Check colorize box hue: 110 saturation: 100 (optional).
11. Duplicate the layer and set blending mode to lighten.
12. Filter-->Distort-->Polar Coordinates click rectangular to polar.
13. Ctrl+U to colorize image. Check colorize box hue: 286 saturation: 50 (optional).
14. Merge the two layers.
15. Filter-->Blur-->Radial Blur amount: 100 method: zoom quality: best.
16. Press Ctrl+F twice.

You don't have to do it, it's just I invented this with that step.

It's not bad, if you used better colors and added more effects it might look better... I'm definetly no photoshop GOD, this is just my opinion ^^ This whole twirly abstract thing has been done a lot, so it just gets a little repetative, but it's still a nice effect. If your tutorial had even more pictures that would be awesome. But overall, it's not a horrible tutorial. ^^
