Tutorial #1
A requested tut, my first to be exact =)
From this
to this
1. First , I take this pic from www.arwen-undomiel.com and crop it to 80x80
2. Next, I duplicate the base and set to screen at 100%, then I duplicate it again and set it to screen at 50% (the number of times you need to do this differs depending on your base)
3. Then I sharpen the base once.
4. Next, I right click and copy merged layers and paste as a new image, desaturate it and sharpen it once.
5. The I take it back to my original (step 2) and place the desaturated, sharpened image on top to soft light @ 100%
6. Then I add add a new Hue/Sat/Lightness level and up the Saturation to 15.
7. Then I right click, copy merged layers the add exclusion layer #091f41 at 100%
8. Then I copy base and bring it up top and set it over the exclusion layer and set to soft light @ 20%
9. The I copy merged and put it where I want it on this texture

10. Next, I cropped a strip out of the photo that I thought would make a pretty border and resized it. Then I flipped it around and placed it along the edges till I got it like I liked it.
11. Then I added this text brush
by
spikesbint and placed it just so, but I erased the x because I didn't like where it was and I reduced the opacity a bit on it to make it look less crispy.
And ta da!
This wasn't an exact copy of the original
but its what I could remember because I rarely save what I do to an icon. I might have used some sort of peach layer on multiply in the orginal.
Hope this was pretty easy! I'd love to see what you made.
