Description Big, big file. Also, I use photoshop elements 7. I don't know how this would work in gimp or other programs, I'm sorry.
Please ask if you're unsure about something - I'm not very practiced at making tutorials.
I like making my own textures, and I like art nouvou. Somehow I ended up combining those two while trying to recreate a kaldeiscope filter and this method was born. Ever since I've used the effect for fun, and I had a friend over earlier who was interested, upon learning that I made the design myself, how I did it. I wrote up a tutorial because of her.

The main trick to this is experimentation. It can be done with a mouse as well as a tablet, or pen tool.

I'm aware that, as far as graphic design goes, this piece is not a master peice. I kind of hate the bottom actually, but I wanted a tutorial that was simple and didn't clash color wise, so I think I succeeded in that.

Examples
[link] I used this technique for the magic circle at her feet, and the background texture.

Thanks for reading~!

I'm glad. Hmm... There's a great traditional media one for that on here, actually. Tribal style stuff is a similar concept, also with great tutorials. But, if it's just for one project or two, I can totally understand using this~... Though, now I want to try making knot work using this.
Have fun!

You're welcome! I hope it's really helpful~. They're intimidating when you start drawinging, I know that... Thank you very much.
