(sorry for the reupload! didn't want to have to download it to see it. :< )
[[Full view! Or you can't see it. 8D HAH.]]
Sorry it's so big! It's about 6200 pixels tall. XD;;

This is easily one of the latest times I've ever submit anything. XD;;; Whups. Got school next week. Really should go to bed.

Well, I haven't made a tutorial in a long time, though I've had that tutorial-making bug for awhile. Don't know why. Just felt the mighty need to make some instructions. I like trying to do something different, you know? Inking/coloring tutorials seem like a dime-a-dozen. o_o; Not that that's a bad thing, but geez.
So, here's how you can make pretty good lightning and electrical effects in photoshop. I made the screenshots for it kind of quickly, but I used this same general idea to make the effects in this [ [link] ] picture, which I'm very proud of. :>

So, I hope that this makes sense and is helpful to at least someone. XD;;; I did the best I could, and there were some spots where I wasn't sure if I really needed a screenshot (or forgot to do one), so I hope it's not too confusing.
But! If there's something you're confused about, don't hesitate to aaaask~

Enjoy!

You're welcome! It's really old though and you could probably modify the techniques to make the lightning turn out better :)
