Sexy Forum Set

"Sexy" - Forum Set

What you Need:

Tube of choice, I used artwork by Simon Han

Font of choice, I used Licorice for my name and Lithos Pro Regular for the wording

PSPX2

Animation Shop

Template Set, by Me HERE

Let's Begin!

1. Open a new transparent image

Open all of your supplies.

2. Flood fill the transparent image with a gradient or color of choice

Copy the tag template and paste as a new selection.

Delete the template layer and crop to selection.

Doing it this way instead of just flood-filling the template will eliminate

the "jagged edge" look around the tag

3. C/P the tube of choice as a new layer

Mine had an included close up so I used that.

Duplicate several time and re-size a few layers to give it a look

similar to mine above.

Merge all tube layers together, but not with the background layer

Apply a layer blend of choice.

I used "Overlay".

Apply a texture if you wish. I used "blinds" from the texture menu

Under Effects.

C/P the main tube again as a new layer above all layers

Re-Size as needed

Add drop shadow

I added a double drop shadow to give it more depth.

4. Apply a wording of choice

I used 1 font, and the first layer I blended with the background using

the "overlay" option

The second font layer was the same font, but the outline only

Apply Drop shadow and do not blend

Add copyright info & name now

*We are now going to build our frames*

5. Merge all layers visible

Open another transparent image

Flood Fill with a color of choice

Copy the tag and paste as a new selection over the color

Go to selection>modify>expand>3

Crop to selection

Using your magic wand tool, click on the border color

Go to Adjust>add/remove noise>add noise

Make sure the "monochrome" is ticked

It doesn't matter what percentage you use, whichever you like is fine

Once you have first setting chosen, Save as frame1 or however you want

Go back and hit the "undo" button until the noise is removed, but the selection still

has the "dancing ants" around it

Repeat, changing the % each time.

You should have at least 3 frames

6. Open Animation Shop

Open your frames using the animation wizard

Choose your speed, I used 15 fps

Press play, if your happy with the settings, save and your done!

7. These steps should be repeated for the avatar as well.

I cheated and went back to the forum tag I had made and simply hit the

"undo" arrow until the layers appeared and there was no border.

Then I copied my avatar template and pasted it on the tag as a new selection

I moved the layers around and removed some until I found what I liked.

And then I simply repeated the border steps to create the animation.
