Tutorial #33: Made with GIMP. Translatable.
How to get this: From this:
A recreation of this:

Requested by WunderLu.

Open your image, crop, scale, inflate...forget that last one.

Duplicate the base layer, add a layer of #f6bfc7, and set it on Value (@ 100%), merge down into the duplicated layer, set the merged layer on Soft Light at 100%.
Now, add two layers, fill them with #f6dcdc and #dcedf6, and set them both on Burn at 50%.
Add three layers of #000d2f and set them on Screen (@ 100%), Screen (@ 65%) and Subtract (@ 100%).
Flatten all the layers.
Sharpen your image.
Go to Colors>Color Balance:
Shadows: +4, 0, 0
Midtones: 0, +6, 0
Highlights: -5, +7, +10
Click 'ok'.

Time for textures!
Set all of these on Screen, and move them to wherever you think they look the bestest.

Here, too:
Almost done:

Add a layer of #404040 on Lighten Only at 25%.

Last one: Set it on Soft Light. Use the blend tool to blend it to where it only show up on the top of the icon.

You're done! It isn't a perfect recreation, but I hope it's close enough.

Tutorial #34: How to get this: From this:
A recreation of this:

Also requested by WunderLu.

In the beginning was the image, and the image was without coloring, and the image was dark...Sorry! Anyway...
Open your image/base. Crop and scale, if necessary.

Duplicate your base layer, go to Colors>Curves
Value: x:131, y:176
Red: x:131, y:142
Green: x:99, y:110
Blue: x:98, y:104
Click 'ok'.
Duplicate that layer, go to Colors>Channel Mixer.
Red: 125, -30, 0.
Green: -15, 115, 0
Blue: -58, 130, 40
Click 'ok'.
Set that layer on Screen at 85%.

Add a layer of #f6bfc7 on Burn @ 45%.
Add a layer of #dcedf6 on Burn @75%.
Add a blank fill layer, and paint over her cardigan with #2f3e17 and set it on Soft Light at 100%.

Flatten. Sharpen the icon. Blur her face, if desired.

Go to Colors>Brightness-Contrast, and set the brightness to -10.
Hue-Saturation: Set the Master saturation to +10.

You're done! The recreation turned out a little more red than the original, but I hope that's okay.

Let me know if you have any questions about either of these.

Add this: (by innocent Lexys) set it to Darken Only at 100%, and erase the parts that cover her face.
Add this: set it to Soft Light at 100%.

Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Brightness-Contrast, and set both Brightness and Contrast to +5.



Add this: set it to Lighten Only at 100%. Flip it vertically.
Add this: set it to Screen at 100%. Erase the parts on her face.



Add whatever else you want! You're done!

Photoshop Tutorial #1:

How to get this: To this:

Desaturate the base layer if it isn't already black and white.
Make a new layer fill BB07BD (You can change your color choice if you wish).Set to exclusion.
Duplicate the exclusion layer and set to multiply.
Duplicate base layer. Bring it to the top and set to lighten.


If you want to mix things up a bit, make one of the fill layers a different color (but leave the effect!).

Also, if need be you can set the base layer to screen if it's too dark. (Be sure to merge the base layer before continuing)

Add a fill layer of #1a6e94, set it to Soft Light at 100%.
(I did something else here in addition to this, but I was unable to figure out what. I may have just smudged the texture differently the first time.)
Flatten your image.

Red: 100, 0, -6.
Green: 0, 100, 0.

It now looks like this:

Add these:
Set them all to Screen at 100%.

Add whatever else you want. You're done!

From this: to this: .

Created in Corel Paintshop Pro X2, and probably translatable.

As requested by Meli... FYI: this was just a quick excerise in textures for me...I was experimenting and liked the product!

I began with this base, having cropped it—

I added this edited texture, switching mode to “Screen,” and leaving it at 100% opacity. I duplicated that layer.

Current:

Next I added this texture (also edited), switched it to “Overlay,” and left it at 100% opacity as well:


Current:

Also add this one:
Turn the layer to “Screen,” and leave it as 100% opacity.

Current:

It didn’t have enough “eye-pop” to me so I added one more texture that I resized:


Set that layer to 100% “Overlay” as well. Now you have this:

Add additional text and you’re done!



Quick disclaimer: most if not all the textures I used were from NarniaWeb and modified by erasing certain parts. I don’t know who created any of the textures, but you know who you are, and I’d credit you if I knew. No stealing intended.
