01
I start with
this image. I decided to go for negative space (especially because the cap quality is not very good) so I cropped the image and then used the Spot healing Brush to fill in the space in the top part of the icon.
02
Duplicate, set on Screen 100% (I masked out he parts over Derek's face and Odette's face and dress because it looked too bright). Vibrance: vibrance +36, set on Color 100%.
03
This texture by
fuuurs set on Soft light, 47%.
04
This texture by
fuuurs set on Screen, 64% (masked the left part with a 30% opacity brush a bit because the texture looked overpowering) The layers look like
this so far (also get a better idea of my masks).
05
Brightness/contrast: b +18 c -11. Vibrance: vibrance +32. (both set on Normal 100%)
06
Okay, you might not see a huge difference here but I just doing this so I can't help myself. I took a yellow brush (40% opacity soft brush, I guess. layer set on Soft light, 100%) and painted over Odette's hair to bring out the yellow in her hair like it's supposed to be.
07
This, texture by
fuuurs set on Soft light, 24%.
08
Vibrance: vibrance +84. Brightness/contrast: b +60 c +4.
09
I
painted with black, white and yellow (40% opacity soft brush, I guess. layer set on Soft light, 100%) to add a bit more shadowing to the icon.
This is the full layer pallette/ Voila!
