Question for Hippy....

In the skin with the purple flames, I noticed an effect you have going on there. I have seen it in some other skins like ^^Gabrile's FabreLink
and also in pictoratus' FabergeLink

I don't know what to call it, so out of ignorance, I will refer to ti as 'those little black dots'. It gives the skins a kind of 'hand drawn element' that I really like. It reminds of the Mobius 'Silver Surfer' magazines. (And Denzel was right, Morbius was the best)

Anyway, I was kind of wondering, and hoping, you might be willing to share what it is and how you accomplish it??? Please. I haven't been able to figure out how to duplicate it in Photoshop.

Thanks.

Scarebear is correct. You use the noise filter. It also is what a lot of people use for the brushed metal effect, which is produced using the noise filter, then a motion blur. Using a Guassian blur produces a nice texture too. Worth experimenting with.
