My second tutorial. YAY!
The screen cap, I grabbed off of my Tombstoned dvd
Okay so after cropping and sharpening my base, I duplicated the layer twice, set both to screen and desaturate both.
Exclusion at 100%
Multiply at 58%
Color Burn 79%
Color Burn at 25%
Soft Light at 63%
Soft Light at 55%
gradient set to Color Burn at 48%
(I’m not entirely sure where I got this gradient and the green one I used below. I’m usually very particular about putting everything in separate folder with the creator’s name, but I didn’t with these. So if anyone knows, please let me know so I can properly credit)
My icon so far
Okay, now I make a new layer and take this brush from Bruno’s Honeypot
http://www.ancient-secret.de/brushes.html the Vintage Grunge set and scale it down to about 100
I use it in white(I only have it showing in black here so you can see it)
to cover up my base a little bit. You want it covered, but not thickly.
Then with the same brush except in black, I go over the white in the middle so you
have a white frame left on the outside and then set it to screen
Now I take this gradient and put in on Screen at 100%. I erased most of it, leaving only the lower left corner
This gradient again at Color Burn 100%. I erased the parts that were covering his face
Exclusion at 100%. I again erased the parts over his face
Almost done!!!!
This brush again from Bruno's Vintage Grunge set in black (I only have in white here so you can see it) I place it on a new layer on the right side of my icon and on the bottom
Then I take this tiny text brush in black. Add it onto a new layer and then rotate it 90 degrees CW.
Then I move it over to the right side of my icon. I duplicated the layer as well.
Again, I’m not sure where this brush is from, so if anyone knows, let me know.
Now I just have my text to add. I used Agency FB at 11pt. And wrote Undertaker in all capital letters and with a space between each one.
I put this on the right of my icon and duplicated the layer. And then I also added it to the bottom of my icon.
And that's all :)
