1.Create a New Document. (Mine was 640 x 480 pixels)

2.Filter > Render > Clouds

3.Filter > Render > Difference Clouds (Press "Ctrl + F" twice to repeat the last effect)

4.Place Four Lens Flares on the document evenly spread to form a Diamond.

8. Duplicate Layer. ( Layer > Duplicate Layer )

9. Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap
( Highlight Strength : 7 | Detail : 11 | Smoothness : 15 )



10. Change The Blending Mode On the Top layer to "Color Dodge". And set the "Opacity" to 80% and the "Fill" to 70%



11. Now to add some color to our Creation. Go to
Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Check ¡§Colorize¡¨

For a Fiery Time Portal Use These Settings:

Hue : 36
Saturation : 80
Lightness : 0



For an Electric Blue Time Portal Use These Settings:

Hue: 205
Saturation: 100
Lightness: 0



For A Yellowish-Green Time Portal Use These settings:

Hue: 130
Saturation: 75
Lightness: 0



And feel free to mess around with the Hue and Saturation bars, to get a color that you feel comfortable with. Make it Unique . Let me know how yours came out.

Time Portal Alternate Finish :



This is what the Finished Product Originally looked like.
Now I will show you how to add a little extra touch up to it to make it look even more realistic.

Take your Original Portal, and if its still in .psd format you should have two layers. Take to top layer, go "Filter > Liquify" And make something similar to this This:

Settings:
Brush Size - anywhere from "30 - 100" (I used many different Sizes)
Brush Density - 100
Brush Pressure - 100




Just Use circular motions while liquefying it, to get a result like mine.
Then Click okay and you should have something that looks like this:



Now you can add colors to it if you¡¦d like, or you can keep it the way it is.



THE END!

Nice.. Don mind but Y do always use a black bg... and then use hue/sat thing to get the color.. Y not use the colors initially :Boingy:

Looks better using hue/saturation, unless you make a new layer and set the blending mode to "color" ^-^
