Just play with all the filters until you have a general idea of what they do, then combine them. That'll usually get you some good stuff.

If I get time, I may post my concept sketch of the new "Ray of Hope" banner, but only if you PROMISE not to laugh. LOL, jk, once you see it you'll realize why I asked Jas to illustrate RoH instead of doing it myself...

Original picture:  My picture:  Done with nothing but the pen tool. The only thing I would like to redo is the hands, but other then that, it's pretty much perfect.

That and the thing over his helmet is a little blurry. Did you use Illustrator or the PS pen tool?

Actually, I used Fireworks. For more detailed pen tool work, I like the Fw pen best.

I don't, but I heard another Adobe tutorial website is coming out within the month. This one's suppposed to be really good... all I know how to do really is make lightning, tornados, and some other stuff.

Thanks!
As for yours, did you make that on LDD or another program? Either way, it's awesome!

I wish I had Photoshop, and a guide book to it. I only need about £350 more (LOL)! I guess if I want Photoshop I better steal my brother's computer (LOL)!

As a student, you should be able to get PS CS4E for about $200, smaller amount in your currency. I don't know if that applies to students under college level though (they want you to be serious about it I guess). You should search for student pricing on adobe products.
It's even "cheaper" if you buy one of the packages, as far as price of what you get. I got the entire Design Premium suite (Ps, Ai, Fl, Id, Dw, and Fw) for $400 from journeyed.com.
@ZLS - thanks dude. =D
