I've been playing around in photoshop, and I have created a multitute of backgrounds, ranging from spacey to the basic abstract. Yes, they may be basic, but I've created some very interesting patterns. However, since my photo hosting sites are being smacktards (strike9 and photobucket both) I can not show off my favorite.

Green Portal -- Kinda spacey, played around with a large amount of filters. Started off the same way: Clouds>Difference Clouds multiple times. Gives for "randomness."

Jagged Clouds -- Started as a base for my Tainted Gold piece, my multimedia teacher prefered it like this instead of the tainted gold. So I seperated the layers and made two pieces out of it...Tainted Gold and This.

Jagged Edge -- Fun with gradients! hehe. Yes, I used a gradient tool and a magic wand to make this piece, and look at the results. Clouds and a light blend makes this overlay.

Nova Hole -- Another spacey one, and my smallest in terms of bytes. Only 67k for this background!

Twisted Steam -- Just some randomness, I made a swirly background and put a steam effect over it. My multimedia teacher likes it better without the steam, but to me that one looks far too plain and boring.

And finally, the favorite of the ones I have to present...

Nebulae -- I actually made a tutorial on how to make this one, in full scale by layers. It's quite a cool make, too.I only had to use an overlay once, which I did not show in the tutorial, but still...looks cool, don't it? n.n


So there you go. Feel free to download and use at your own pleasure. All made in Photoshop, and all are (c) me!

Que Passa!!!!

(Clicks on Green Portal)

:Monotone: I... am... a... dog... Woof... Woof...

The first and second ones aren't even bad... well... the fourth, neither, but it looks pretty much the same as the first. =P

They were pretty much made the same way, just some changes along the way.

I'm working on one now, it's a TON of work, but I just know that it will pay off somehow...

No spoilers!

Yep, looks like playing around in Photoshop alright :P

I like the cloud in the middle on the Nova Hole one.

Not bad, though it just seems like you were applying random filters and stuff, but then again that was probably your only intention.

I'm more interested in seeing any photo manips you've done, since you've insulted mine before and went on about how you can do better, back in the day.

Well, let me put it this way: It's more than I can do. You seem to like the spiral theme.

I'm getting around to that, tick. I'll do a photomanip of myself after my current project.

IT'S FINISHED!!!!!

Electric Portal -- it began as me going pixel-by-pixel around the bubble in the middle, but that was WAAAAAAYYYY too much work for me. So I just took the easy way out, and made it like that. Using a complex layering system, I was able to morph around what I wanted so I can make this what I liked.

Raindrops -- Can you guess what I was listening to when I made this background? I apologize right now if the lyrics are wrong, you can't really hear him well in one part of the song.

Twisted -- It's the basic background of the one above, with the steam.

FLASK -- Do not ask...I do not like Strongbad, but thanks to Radium, I HAVE THIS STUPID PHRASE STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!!! The background is still cool, nevertheless.

The FLASK one is actually isn't too bad, if you took out the text.

Radiohead, eh? THE RAINDROPS.

The Electric Portal is nice, I'd give it an 8.5 .
The only thing I don't like is the pink.
