Description
edit: Tweaked some things to make it more legible and the file size smaller ...coz 1.9 MB was stupidly large. Should still be readable at actual pixel resolution...but let me know if there are any problems.By request, this tutorial is intended to give a general idea of the way that "elemental tango" was made.
----------
And here are but a few of the many other dA tutorials that probably could have helped me before I struck out on my own to make elements and such:
foam
waves
fireball
fireball 2
firey ring
wall of fire

Eek... I'm commenting again! This tutorial helped me make some lightning also. The technique you've showed us not only helps with making convincing elements but also with many other artistic endeavors that we wish to undertake!

that's great help! i work with photoshop a lot so thanks for the tips!
Do you know how to make earth...also, is air like that too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oddfeesh In reply to pinksy456 [2007-08-07 04:49:13 +0000 UTC]
Honestly, I haven't tried to make the other elements. earth would look completely different, and it wouldn't glow in that same way. I bet you could figure out a way to make air, though; it would probably move and look kind of like the water, but less solid and less blue. You could do a dA search for "earth" or "air" tutorials, and see if anything comes up.
you're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
