I've tried and used those ones.. they don't work as well as mine IMO. You see those ones are way too bright and they aren't focused.. they cover the whole thing, which IMO looks incredibly ugly. My way you can literally paintbrush the strands to illuminate certain parts of it so it doesn't all look like a light sabre or some shit lol
And it doesn't look as good when it's more like a gaussian blur effect where it's kind of circular and only following the strand.. it looks messy/sloppy xD

I kinda do my own thing when it comes to the effects I use on the created strands. And I agree, the tutorials are too bright in many ways but thats something we can adjusts as the artist.

It's funny because any major breakthroughs I've had personally trying to make anything.. they've all been accidental lol. But I guess you can't complain with results

I guess I know where that image came from now. I will link it up. Although it is not one of the images I used to start the process it is one of the images I used in the 11 layer comp.
