I found these spike brushes that was given away with Computer Arts Project last year. So i painted them on a new layer and meshed them into place

Pipes is another steampunk thing so i created a brush stroke .. cut it with the line tool ... then used dodge and burn to create rusty pipes..

step 10 of 12

put an interesting bg using clouds then liquifying a pattern

Creation of I C U ...: Step 10

step 11 of 12

Steampunk always seemed grungy ( very technical word )
so the easiest way was to create a new layer and fill it with noise

Creation of I C U ...: Step 11

step 12 of 12

steam and smoke is another big 'steampunk' thing. Again, Computer Arts had a brush but i very limited.. so i bunched a couple together .. blurred it and stuck it thru liquify...

Finally , i didnt want the 'Noise' to be featured on the bg so i masked off the bins so that the texture was on them only
