Lets begin...
New canvas 600 x 250
Pick a lightish colour from your tube and flood fill.
Copy and paste your tube. Move down so the face is the main focus and apply Mura Meisters Copies- Tiling (feedback) at default settings. Rename layer tube1.
Crop your canvas to merged opaque.
Duplicate tube1 layer and hide the duplicate.
On tube1 layer apply Effects, Image Effects, Seamless Tiling - Tiling Method-Corner, Direction -Horizontal, Horizontal Offset- 0, Transition- 100.
Change the blend mode to soft light.
Open the duplicate, rename this layer tube2 and apply Gaussian Blur 10 and change the blend mode to Screen. Lower the opacity to watever you like for mine I did 80.
Duplicate (shift D) what you have now and set aside for the avatar.
Hide tube2 layer for now.
Return to tube1 layer and apply Unplugged Shapes Auto Ellipse at default settings except change Inner Transparency to 255 and Outer Transparency to 0.
Using your magic wand (Tolerance-0, Feather-0, Anti-alias checked) click the white in the corners. Selections, modify, contract by 1.
Open tube2 layer, make sure this layer is active and promote selection to layer.
Deselect and change the promoted layers blend mode to overlay.
Apply Blinds- Width 4 Opacity 100 Colour Black and both boxes ticked.
Apply Penta jeans amount 40, border width 5.
Effects, edge effects, enhance.
Drop Shadow H-0, V-0, Opacity 100, Blur 3.
Layers, new raster layer.
Select All and flood fill with your colour. Selections, contract by 2 and press delete. Deselect.
Add noise, Gaussian 45 monochrome ticked.
Eyecandy 4000, Gradient Glow Settings and choose Electric Pink....just change the Glow Width to 3.
Now add your name and of course the copyright.
For my name I used Neuropolitical Rg font size 36 in my original colour (pink) and applied the same gradient glow (Electric Pink) and lowered the Opacity to 65.
I also applied the gradient to my copyright.

Now lets do the avatar.
Open what you put aside and cop to 150 x 150 (I cropped to the upper left corner cause a face was there)
Close off tube 2 layer.
On tube1 layer apply Unplugged Shapes Auto Ellipse (same settings as before).
Using your magic wand click the white in the corners. Selections, modify, contract by 1.
Open tube2 layer and promote selection to layer.
Deselect and change the promoted layers blend mode to overlay.
Apply Blinds- Width 4 Opacity 100 Colour Black and both boxes ticked.
Apply Penta jeans amount 40, border width 5.
Effects, edge effects, enhance.
Drop Shadow H-0, V-0, Opacity 100, Blur 3.
Layers, new raster layer.
Select All and flood fill with your colour. Selections, contract by 2 and press delete. Deselect.
Add noise, Gaussian 45 monochrome ticked.
Eyecandy 4000, Gradient Glow Settings and choose Electric Pink....just change the Glow Width to 3.
Add your initial and the copyright.
