Thats really good screenshot work. You do lightning effects very well, is that a filter you have or do you do it by hand?
very nice text effects too. some of the better photoshop work I've seen (in general, not just CoH)
Not CoH...but this is the wallpaper I'm using right now:

Made it about three years ago.
That's some amazing work <O.O>; JEEZ!

Thanks Lily! Yeah that lightning effect is fun. I used it too much for awhile because I was so taken with it myself. It's an action I downloaded for text effects. With some careful tweaking though you can use it for just about anything really. I,m trying to find you the link right now. 
sweet! thank you muchly!
I think the widescreen dragon one was my favorite. love the wipsy hints on the background close up
Those look great Archlight! I think I like Phyre best, but they're all very good!
Thats some really nice work Arch! I love your PBs costume.
That's some awesome work Archlight, keep it up!
agree with what everyone else has mentioned, good stuff here. keep it up Arc and post more too ~

Yeah, those are some fantastic manips. /em jealous of your technology. and patience. and skillz.
Thanks guys! 
I am having absolutely NO luck finding that action Lily, I am sorry. I swear I got it from a page at Adobes website but I can't even get there home page to load atm. 
No worries I was just curious anyhow.
Seriously, those are pretty nice. Looking forward to seeing more.
WOW!!! That is some AMAZING work. Infact I would say it's...
AWESOME!

Unfortunately I don't really take requests but it's flattering that you asked. This is just something I do in my spare time when I get inspired.
As for tips. That's a tough one. It sound slike you were wanting tips to make the borders maybe? They are all different depending on the theme of the hero. ( I know I know "What do you mean they are all different? They're all LIGHTNING!" )
The lightning effect is an action that I downloaded for free and modify to work with layers other than type. I can't find it again to save my life. It even looks like the site I got it from may be gone.

I would definately post the action's link if I could find it again. It's called Shock v2.0 and the author's email was meyerinchain@hotmail.com when he created the action if that helps any. The blur efeect is a native Photoshop filter called radial blur set to the zoom style.
Thanks again for the kind words guys.
Well why not?

I have posted a few of these here in the past so I went ahead and collected them all together to share. Nothing too special I guess but fun to make
