Slime

1.  Open a new file in Adobe Photoshop, size 300px by 300px (or any size, just not too small).

2.  Make a new layer, and draw some black squiggly lines.  Make sure they’re not too dense and they’re not at the bottom.

3.  Filter- Distort- Polar Coordinates- Polar to Rectangular.  This will be the basis of your slime shape, so if it doesn’t look right to you, undo a couple steps and redraw the black lines.

4.  Go to Filter- Distort- Plastic Wrap, and change the settings to Highlight: 15, Detail: 9, and Smoothness: 7.

5.  Go to Filter- Noise- Add Noise.  The settings should be 5, Gaussian, and Monochromatic.  You don’t want too much noise- just enough to add some chunky texture to your slime. ;)  Then go to Filter- Noise- Despeckle and Filter- Noise- Despeckle (you’re doing it twice).  This is so the noise is blurred out, but it doesn’t blur out the whole picture like a Gaussian Blur would.

6.  Now we’re going to make this slime green!  Press control + u to open the Hue/Saturation box and check Colorize.  Change the numbers to 90, 80, and 40 (or whatever looks good to you).

7.  Duplicate the layer (Layer- Duplicate Layer) and click on the bottom one.  Go to Filter- Blur- Motion Blur and change the number to 90 and click ok.  Now it looks like your slime is dripping!  Eww!

And here’s our final product:
