Today well be making this-

Level- Low-Middle difficult, requires some knowledge of smudge settings, layer modes and filters.
Well also be needing some stuff to do that with.
Materials-
one render

Clipping mask tutorial-
clipping-masks-in-gimp-t38527.html
First, make a canvas. i used 400x150. fill the background with black, paste in your render, adjust the layer boundary (so we dont have problems with the smudging later on) and duplicate it 3 times. (you should have 4 layers of render)

Next, create a new layer and select the gradient tool. create a large radial gradient, and make it reflect how you want the flow.

After that, open up your first c4d. remember to also make this flow. colorize and lower the opacity until it looks good.

Now, select the render layer that is second from the top. go filters-artistic-cubism and put a small cubism filter on your render. i used tile size 6, saturation 1. Then, go to your second to bottom render layer, and apply a motion blur, at filters-blur-motion blur. I used length 8, angle 10.

Next, we smudge. pick out a nice splatter brush, (If you don't have any, pick anything you think would look good) and select the bottom render layer. I used settings 85 rate, 1 jitter, and 75% opacity. Dont overdo it, because now, change the opacity to 100% and smudge some more. set the smudged layer to soft light.

Add in some clipping masks (clipping mask tutorial is at the top of the page.)

Here's where the tutorial get a little difficult. Make a new layer on top, and select your fill tool, pick pattern, and choose the default pattern, on the top right. rotate and move the pattern until it fits your flow. (It's not supposed to look good yet.)

Set that layer to screen, and lower the opacity. I used 60%. smudge where the edges of it meet the rest of the signature, to blend it in.

Here, were adding in the second c4d. Colorize and set to screen and align for flow.

Last, create some paths on the right side of the sig, with a width of 4. Get a hard circle brush, size 10, 50 rate, 1 jitter and 100% opacity. smudge the lines until they look good, and lower the opacity.

And you're done!
I hope you enjoyed the tut.
I'd love to see some outcomes :D
