Tonight we'll be going from
this to this:

.
Made in PS7, but easily translatable to other programs, I should think.
1. Make your 100 x100 base. Don't sharpen yet! That's later. =]
2. Duplicate your base and set it to Screen 100%.. Duplicate that, desaturate, and switch the setting to Soft Light 100%.
3. Make a new layer. Fill it with #6C2086. Set that to Soft Light 20%.
4. Make another new layer. Fill that one with #00042C. Set that to Exclusion 60%.
5. Go to that Screen layer you made earlier. Duplicate it and drag it to the top. Desaturate it and lower the opacity to 50%.
6. Duplicate your base. Drag it to the top and set it to Soft Light 75%.
7. Make another new layer. Fill it with #F3C157 and set it to Multiply 15%.
8. Go back to the last Screen layer you made(the desaturated 50% one), duplicate it and bring it to the top.
9. Go back to your first Soft Light and desaturated layer. Duplicate it and bring it to the top.
10. Duplicate the blue Exclusion Layer and bring it to the top. Do the same for the purple Soft Light layer. Merge all layers. Sharpen once; fade sharpen to 50%.
And that's it! You can add text and brushes of course, but, once again, I felt no need. =]
If there are any questions, feel free to ask; I don't bite. XD
Different pictures will turn out differently, so don't be afraid to experiment with the opacities of the layers.
I'd love to see what you think of this. It is only my second tutorial. ^__^
If you do end up using it, I'd love to see your results!
