1. Start by opening Photoshop and creating a new RGB image. I used the dimensions of 250 x 250 in the example. Create a new layer. Choose the LINE TOOL > Weight 50px > color #8FCFFF
2. Next click on Edit > Transform > Perspective. Make your image look something like the one I made.
3. Now click on Filter > Distort > Shear.
Alter your image to fit what you need. Remember dont over do it.
That usually spoils it.

4. Now doesnt that look sweet. :)

You are almost done. Now for the final touches.
Click on Layer > Layer Style > Stroke.

And set your properties to :

Size : 2 px
Position : Outside
Blend Mode : Normal
Opacity : 100%
Fill Type : Color
Color : #196095

Now click on Bevel and Emboss

Style : Inner Bevel
Technique : Smooth
Opacity : 100%
Depth : 100%
Direction : Up
Size : 5
Soften : 0

Adust the shading to your choice.



Done. You can do alot with this effect.
Its not that hard.
Go on ... make some tentacles. :)
