While noclayto's how to make brushed metal and blended text tutorial i somehow made i realistic looking water

(Be4 we start i may be using a different version of The GIMP to you guys)

Here we go

Start a new canvas, do what ever size you like (i'll be doing 350x350)

Set u FG to a medium/dark blue

and set ur BG to a light blue

Heres my colours



U then do gradient like so



You then add noise, go to Filters, scattrer RGB and set it too



It should then look like this



Then go to Filters, Blur, Motion Blur and set it too



It should then look like this



-------------------------------

Okay that is what noclayto taught me, now this is where i come in!

This is so extremely easy, trust me!

Go to Filters, Light effects, Lighting effects

and do this



Then move over 2 tabs to Bump Map

Like this



Enable it

Then when your down this is what u'll have



Mmmm, Yummy!

This tut was brought to u buy emma :m:

*EDIT* for added effect, bump it twice!

FE Edit: Broken images. Removing from Official Tuts.
