NOTE: A stock with big shapes works best :)

Step 1) New Document(any size)

Step 2) Paste in your stock and resize it if needed

Step 3) Duplicate your stock and run a make seamless filter(Filters>Map>Make Seamless) Set this layer to screen

Step 4) Copy Visable and paste onto a new layer. Then run a small tiles filter(Filters>Map>Small Tiles) Use the default settings. Set the layer to difference

Step 5) Duplicate that last layer(the difference one), and set it to Grain Merge

Step 6) another copy visable layer, this time motion blur it(FIlters>Blur>Motion Blur) Set the angle with the flow, length at 80. Set this layer to Grain Extract

Step 7) Copy Visable layer, run the Edge Filter(Filters>Edge Detect>Edge) Use the default settings, set it to Overlay and erase around the focal

Step 8) Copy Visable again, run a Photocopy filter on it(Filters>Artistic>Photocopy). Use the default settings, and set it to burn. Erase around the focal

Step 9) FInishing touches(border, text, etc..) and your done

Not loving it....Step 3 looks better than the final step

[Pittfanatic]

With one filter?

[sadaf]

Ya I don't really like the effect either, sorry. Maybe do something different. I don't know.

[Pittfanatic]

ok, sorry then :s:

[Spriter]

It's still a good tutorial though.

[Legg91]

Yeah Iagree all ove the above but good tut.

[marshman998]

I love this effect I'm definitely gonna try it, I'll post result here.

EDIT - Here it is, thanks for the great tut:

[Pittfanatic]

Allright, thanks for trying

[PhoenixSlash]

i used a little bit from your tut but i was just mucking around and this is what i got, also i think a requirement for this tut is colour as putting it on difference when you have black and white or close to black and white it just becomes black and white so yeah thats all from me and good tut

[Pittfanatic]

thxs Phoenix, great result :h:

[marshman998]

I retried, didn't erase on some steps for effect. BTW you need to add an erase on step four so people don't get confused.
Well here's my next attempt (with DBZ chars), seeing as I really wanna make this work:

Tell me what you think!

[PhoenixSlash]

whats the focal?

[marshman998]

It's kind of a double focal type thing. Just a different style, you could say.

[PhoenixSlash]

you could... but id erase arounnd the face it looks kinda gross i reckon. just erase around the face maybe oh i dont know anymore!

Here's my crack at it!
