I use photoshop cs and I don't know if this is translatable. sorry.



I started with the screencap here and cropped it to this

1. duplicate the layer three times.
   
2. set the top to soft light at 100%. set the other two to screen at 100%. leave the base alone.
   
3. new layer filled with #0B3B57 set to soft light 100%.
   
4. new layer filled with #EEF1BF set to soft light at 50%.
   
5. new layer filled with #996699 set to soft light at 100%.
   
6. new layer filled with #F4B64B set to color burn at 35%.
   
7. then I took this texture
   by ewanism, flipped it horizontal and set it to soft light at 100%.
   
8. and you end up with:
   

your layers should look like this

you can also add #F1BFDA between steps 3 and 4. set to softlight at 100%. this method (minus the texture) was used on these:





don't follow this tutorial exactly. I highly suggest playing around with the opacity of the layers. it really all depends on your base. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I won't bite, promise.

I hope this was useful and I would love to see what you come up with!
