Thank god Jeffrey's showing.. I was scared that he would be "auf'd" for cheating

(Spoilers ahead)

Jeffrey and Uli actually did really well ^.^
I'm kinda disappointed in Micheal because his collection didn't wow me and some of it was still kinda of circus-y

Mischa tutorial

citruswaves — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 20:19:37 GMT

Learn how to make this from x.x.x.

1. First open your images and paste them on a blank canvas. Preferably somewhere around 500x250-600x300.

2. Make sure the pictures overlap, and using the eraser tool, erase the excess (if you have questions about blending, comment below).

3. I like to retouch my images so I used the blur tool set on 50% and blurred only her skin.

4. Then, using the lasso tool, select her eyes and sharpen them, but don't deselect yet. Duplicate the layer and set it to overlay 100%.
Do the same thing with her lips, but set them to soft light 100%.

5. The fill layers are pretty self explanatory here :)
(They're in order according to the layer palatte, so read from the bottom to the top)

6. Now go to Layer>Adjustment Layer>Color Balance and set it to the following:

Midtones: -20, -10, +1
Shadows: -70, 0, 0
Highlights: 0, 0, 0

7. Moving on to curves :)
Layers>Adjustment Layers>Curves
Set curves to the following:

Red:
185/213 (input/output)
112/165 (input/output)

Blue:
184/184 (input/output)

8. Layers>Adjustment Layers>Levels
Set levels to the following:

RGB: 0, 1.83, 255
Red: 0, 1.00, 255
Green: 0, 1.00, 255
Blue: 0, 1.00, 255

9. Merge your blend and duplicate your base layer. Drag it to the top and desaturate it (Ctrl+Alt+U). Set it to soft light 100%

10. Use the polygonal lasso and select a box-like shape. Fill it, type some text, and you're done!*

*Used arial narrow, size 48, -75, drop shadow and outer glow :)

Comments are appreciated!
Please don't use blanks as bases.

Citruswaves will be my new-new icon/art journal. I'd just thought I'd change the name :)
Just thought this was cute>>

Icons will be coming today!! My last post at vanillavogue will be posted below:

"Hiatus will soon be over and I will have wallpaper and icons up soon :)
I might change my username again to start over fresh though
*The pirates are back! Watch POTC2 starting today!*
**A new icon tutorial will be up soon!!

edit. I just came back from the 3:15 showing of Pirates of the Caribbean. It's now 10:01 :) The movie lasted like 3 hours, but it was better than expected. After reading thousands of bad reviews on YAHOO! movies, I thought maybe it was much worse than anticipated but the visuals were very good, the acting was very good, and the plot was very good so I'm glad I went. The movie theater was so packed though, it was a sold-out showing, but I got there like an hour early so I was like 5th in line, which was a relief because at 2:50, almost all the good seats were taken. I'm using my sister's mac. so I can't upload my icon tutorial and my wallpaper. It's a salute to PIRATES so the tutorial is a Keira Knightley tutorial and my 1/4 finished wallpaper is POTC2 based. Hopefully I can upload it tomorrow.

edit. Posted my Keira tutorial over here at icon_tutorial (community)
click here to read it. Or go (under ze fake cut)

(You owe Davey Jones your soul. Times up!)

edit. The new icons are here! Don't judge too badly because I'm still a beginner :)

*44 icons*
*Textless are not bases*
1-8= Misc.
9-23= Pirates of the Caribbean 2
24-44= Stock Images
Enjoy!!
