Alien-Entity Text Effect in photoshop

First thing’s first, create a new document in which you can make your text, use a size of about 400 x 200 pixels. Now make a background that will suit the theme. I started the background by first making a few white gradients on a black background.

(With the gradient tool, using a black and white gradient, change the gradient tool mode to Lighten)

Next, apply Filter > Distort > Wave with any old random setting.

(settings do not matter here, you just want to get a random effect for the background)

Now, create a new layer and fill it with #47711f (green) or a similar color – change the layer mode for your new layer to Color and lower the opacity to around 80%.

Merge the background layers together then duplicate the remaining layer, apply Filter > Disort > Wave with another random setting, change the layer mode to Overlay and lower the opacity to around 80%.

(this will make the background seem more vivid!)

Now, lastly for the background layer, I added in some blood splat brushes and changed the layer mode to Soft Light. You can download the blood-splat brushes that I used from here: Download Blood Splat Brushes.

This is what I gave after adding some brushes to my canvas:

First thing, change your foreground color to a darkish-green color, then write out your text.

The font that I’ve used in the above screenshot is called Bebas, the font size was 72 pt, and the color used is #3c5516.Now it’s time to give your text a really cool effect using layer styles! Right-click the text layer and go into the Blending Options, choose the following settings:
Drop Shadow
Outer Glow
Inner Glow
Bevel and Emboss
Gradient Overlay
Pattern Overlay

And now your text should now look something like this:

Well at the moment it doesn’t look all that brilliant, but after the additional filter effects, I think it looks much better! Don’t worry if it’s not exact, it doesn’t really matter.

Firstly, create a new layer then Apply the Image (Image > Apply Image…) this will have made everything visible in the new layer. Now apply Filter > Distort > Wave with a random setting. Change the layer mode for this distorted layer to Lighten and lower the opacity to about 35-50%.

Duplicate that distorted layer, then apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with any old amount, change the layer mode to Overlay and have the opacity at about 40-50%.

You could finish this off by applying any of the cool filters, I especially like Filter > Noise > Add Noise.
