Marco Polo Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I was wondering how is it possible to make a spiral background, with a light-like effect. What I tried is this - [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Valkyrie_Brunnhilde"]http://yugioh.wikia....yrie_Brunnhilde[/url] or this [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Valkyrie_Dritte"]http://yugioh.wikia....Valkyrie_Dritte[/url] What I could was this - [img]http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8924/valkyriebacky2.png[/img] I thought it was a simple twirk effect, with outer glows, outer shadow and a bit of blending. But it wasn't. Can anyone tell me what I was doing wrong? I can guess the answer for it is "everything", but my goal is making that background, since I got a few renders to fit it quite well.

Marco Polo Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Anyone? I want to learn how to create something which doesn't look like water colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Alda Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm not sure what you mean by "background". Do you want it on the card itself (like a template or skin) or on the back of the image (behind the monster)? I might be able to help in the first case, but I won't in the second case.

Marco Polo Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 The background behind the girl. Could've figured out just by looking at my example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Too many colors, it doesn't match the others. Also, work on the edges. Make the entire thing a spiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's a smudge technique. You'd probably need either advanced knowledge of smudging, and possibly a graphics tablet. Quite a professional business. Otherwise, the best thing I could think of is a slightly blurred, warped, banded gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judαs Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Here's my result after messing around for ages: [spoiler=Big images.][img]http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee471/ToxicPizza/Toxic%20Pizza%20Work/BlueSwirl.jpg[/img] Pink swirl: Version 1 [img]http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee471/ToxicPizza/Toxic%20Pizza%20Work/PinkSwirl2.jpg[/img] Pink Swirl: version 2 [img]http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee471/ToxicPizza/Toxic%20Pizza%20Work/PinkSwirl.jpg[/img][/spoiler] Could use some more polishing, but I like it What do you think? You can use Radial Blur if you think the edges are too sharp and conflict with your render. This is the base I used for the pink swirl before twirl etc. made from scratch xD [spoiler=Base][img]http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee471/ToxicPizza/Toxic%20Pizza%20Work/PinkSwirlBase.png[/img][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
