This seems to be a great tutorial…but I’ve run into a problem, steps 7/8/9 are a bit vague because I am not getting the same results as shown??? When using the brushes from deviantart.com, I am not achieving the same effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated…very nice design anyhow:)

admin says:

gens: You need to make a similar shape for the light and about the brushes I don’t know what do you really mean but you got to deselect Shape Dynamics and Scattering then use the last brush in the set in color white, after that change layer’s blend mode to Color. If you have any question, let me know here.

Looks cool, nice result
