Work a lot with layers... Use different brushes and different brush methods on each layer... Then change the blend mode of each layer to your liking... Just by doing this you can create something pretty good...

Maybe start out the first layer with a cloud filter...

Uhm... PhotoShops is a hell of a beast; it's really easy to create a great sig "by mistake" and then never know how the hell you did it! I always succeed in making these really cool images - but never what I want!!!

Maybe in 5 years time I'll know exactly wats going on...

@Monty Me too, but that's what makes it fun... Try and get some nice brushes from deviantart... Then play around a bit...

I usually save mine as a .psd file first then also as a .jpg... So that I can later play around with it...

Go here http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/ ... psbrushes/
Then you simply click on the one you would like to get
Then click on "download to desktop"
Then, in PS, select brush tool and load the new brush set
