1. Grab your base, crop, sharpen, whatever. I started with a Vampire Knight base from
theiya-sama.
2. Create a new fill layer, color d8edfb, and set to Burn at 100%.
3. Create a new fill layer, color eeb2b2, and set to Soft Light at 27%.
4. Create a new fill layer, color 890000, and set to Overlay at 100%.
5. Create TWO new fill layers, color 000048. Set the bottom layer to Screen at 100%, and the top to Subtract at 17% (Photoshop & PSP users, this is essentially an exclusion layer).
6. Set this texture by
peoplemachines to Screen at 100%.
7. Set this texture by
silverqe to Screen at 100%.
8. Set this texture by
silverqe to Screen at 100%, and flip horizontally.
9. Set this brush by
hawksmont to Screen at 90%.
You're done! I'd love to see your results!
