WarnD · WarnD's Displacement Tutorial.

Displacing is a very cool tool to use on brushes.Especially if when you do it with the colorful brushes.
Today I will show you how to do that.Just a real simple tutorial.

First,open up Gimp and select new

Below is the width and height I used.You can use any size.

Now just create a cool background.I made mine textured because I just think it looks cool.

Then,choose the render and put it any where.I choose Slash:

Now this step is very important:Make a new layer.

Now make sure you have selected that layer.Now,choose a brush style.

I chose the orange and yellow one.It looks cool.

Now whatever brush you chose,brush it in different places.Don't do it on the render.It looks crappy that way.Do it like this:

Now go to Filters>Map>Displace and follow the image below.

Make sure you still have the new layer still selected(the one with the brush)

Now press ok.

Make a new layer again and kind of max out that brush you chose.Like this:

Now do the displace thing again Filters>Map>Displace and raise it slightly more.

Keep repeating displace until you like it.

Now,you can keep the color like that OR...

Layers>color>desaturate

Then,almost like in frodo's fire text tutorial...

Go to Layer>colors>color balance.

Just play around with the coloring.Here is how mine turned out:

Now,instead of exactly copying mine,make it your own!Add some light,effects,whatever!

Here is my final product:
