Ummm... That realy doesn't look like water... Maybe a different title is appropriate like "fuzzy mess".

[Insanality]

well, be mean y don't you.

it don't look exactly like water
sortuv like animated water
check out this banner i made!


that banner is the best water effect banner i've made. it's for a board.
i don't put that much work into a banner unless it's for a really good cause
i just whiped that one up for this tut

it really matters on how much your lines are spaced apart. AND how many lines you use

you may want to expiriment to get even better results.
editing would be a great idea

[Insanality]

oh and one more thing,

if your color is darker than 0000FF it will look better

I wasnt' trying to be mean... messy is an art form

well i don't like to pick on other peoples work either, it doesn't look like water but i guess you can use your imagination...

look at my sig, this is a water texture i made, some may not think it looks like water, but all i did was...

1.] Horizontal gradient black to white
2.] Filters/artistic/sponge
3.] Filters/artistic/plastic wrap
4.] put a solid color over it in a new layer and put it in a blending mode until i got the color i wanted.
