| I took a mouth portion from a graphic that I had on file. Then I cut out only the part that I wanted. Created a brush and tilted it the back other way. | 
I have liked this fish, but it has always looked too serious. | 
I selected the mouth from the previous graphic into the brush using the
Cut Rectangle tool while switch Instant Brush Creation was on and placed it
where I figured it looked best. | 
Then zoomed in close and using a suitable brush and the Continuous Freehand tool,
colored in the eye. It's always a good idea to keep an extra copy of the individual ingredients
of a pic in the making, you'll see why later. | 
I opened a new area and used Dolphin to give it texture. Remember it is important to know
the settings used because they will be needed later! Then used Neon to give it a blue cast. | 
Then I imported the fish and placed it where it looked best. | 
Placed the mouth as before... | 
... and colored the eye. | 
Added some nice text while kept Instant Brush Creation off. | 
Now here comes the important thing. Set a glow to the text. Now, this is where the
settings used previously in Dolphin were necessary. With the text still highlighted,
I used Dolphin at the previous settings. The letters took on the original Dolphin
look, but without the blue cast given by Neon. | 
Now if you have kept a copy of the fish separately - as I did -, select it again. Size it,
mirror it and use Neon to give it another color. | 
Finally add a different style text and use an offset Glow to highlight the
letters. |
