    Hmm…this looks like a good tut. I was seriously considering getting a membership until I realized you guys were affiliated with Creaticca who constantly rejects my design submissions for who knows what reason other than being jerks.

      Maybe your work isn’t as good as you think it is?

    She liquified behind a premium account. FAIL on me…

    It looks cool, kind of like a fusion of a lot of different tutorials up here a while back. And displacement maps are always fun!

      You freakin’ guys, do you ALWAYS have to place a negative comment on this site? Please go ahead and make your own tuts or art but don’t bother this creative community. This tut looks amazing to me. Keep up the good work! :)

      • http://aevion.net AEVION

        Can you read?

        1. I said first off that it looks cool
        2. I thought that it looked like a mix of a lot of techniques that we’ve seen before… which is a good thing, to show how they all fit together and stuff.
        3. I concluded with a light hearted note that I like playing with displacement maps, because they are fun

        I don’t know what you read that sounded negative, and if I accidentally made it seem that way, it was not my intention. I really like this

        constructive criticism is part of any ‘creative community’. We’re not just here to pat each other on the back and tell each other how great we think they are.

      • http://tutsplus.com Aaron Osteraas

        Hey mate,

        Criticism is encouraged across the Tuts+ Network. So as long as what you say is constructive it will be allowed.

        There is however, zero tolerance to any personal attacks against anyone who uses Tuts+.

        All comments are moderated but sometimes things do slip through, if you notice anything that you feel shouldn’t have been approved you’re welcome to contact us via this form

    So it seems as though realistic paint splashes are the new light streaks. Sheep.

    crap tutorial and keep teaching idiots to make more crap

  • http://sexidesign.com Melody

    Okay, so this is admittedly a TOTALLY unrelated comment to the post. Does anyone else notice the naked black chick on the pixel (creattica) advertisement? LOL wtf?!
    Um…anyway, interesting effects. It seems like a cool tutorial on the effects separately but I just wonder if all the effects are necessary all together..(splash,smoke,shatter). Still cool though.

    Used similar effects here http://deathpen.deviantart.com/art/Petaled-Memory-150184443?q=&qo= I can’t see the whole tut, since I don’t have the appropriate membership type, but I do know that if you try to replicate something like that – first of all, you’re gonna need to have a lot of patience.

    Cheers!
