New Document |  |
Make a 400x400 document. You can edit>fill the background layer to any colour you want, I suggest a moderately dark gray
 |
Selection |  |
Make a Square Selection and Fill with Black
 |
Apply Filter-Lensflare |  |
Now add a filter>render>lensflare using these settings:
 |
Changing Mode |  |
Now change the Layer Blending Mode to Screen, and press ctrl+u to change to a colour.
 |
Apply Filter-Wave |  |
Here is where the real fun happens. Duplicate that layer, and on the new layer do a filter>distort>wave with something like the settings here:
 |
Editing |  |
You should have some sort of cool design. What you'll need to do is repeat step 5 many time, experimenting with settings, but more importantly moving the duplicated layer. But doing this you'll let the lens flare be hit by different waves.
 |
Final |  |
Keep on repeating these steps until you finally come out with something like this:
*note that ctrl+f repeats last filer applied*
*note that if you repeat a the same wave on the wave on the same flare many times you'll get extending flows.
