... play with filters, brushes and such ... ...I highly recommend the rainbow filters, and copious amounts of diffuse glow & sparklies (as you may well know by now - that's just a preference of mine - of which I whole-heartedly and proudly admit;).
Mainly tho? .... Express yourself. .. Dance naked as a pink bunny ...Be dark. Shine Bright. Over filter. Don't filter at all. Spend hours creating, poses, sets, masterpieces ...

All of these links were found in the discussions of the, Photoshop Me: Techniques for a Second Life Group here on flickr:
