Made in GIMP, translatable
From this: to this: , a recreation of this
Requested by ForNarniaAndAslan, more detailed pictures can be viewed here
1) Open your base and prep it (crop, scale, sharpen, etc.) I used a resized screencap from Home of the Nutty.
2) Duplicate the image and white balance (color > auto > white balance) the top layer. Then set the white balanced layout to "screen" 100%
3) Duplicate the top layer and set it to Soft Light 100%. Flatten your image
4) Use the blur/sharpen tool to blue her skin and sharpen her eyes and lips.
5) Make a fill layout of 2f1407 and set it to subtract 100%. Flatten your image
6) Duplicate the layer and Mix the Colors (Colors > Components > Channel Mixture) at Red: +120, -40, +20; Green: -10, +55, +65; Blue: -30, +40, +100. (Make sure Preserve Luminosity is unchecked) Set the layout to "soft light" 100%
7) Add a mask layer and paste the base layer into it. Then, duplicate that layout, set it to screen 100% and invert the layer mask
8) Add a fill layout of ffffff and set it to soft light 50%. Add a mask layer, insert the background image, and invert it. Next, add two fill colors at 2f1407, the first set at Screen 100% and the second Soft Light 100%
9) Flatten the image. Blur the skin and sharpen the eyes
10) Color balance (Colors > Color Balance) at Shadows: -8, 0, +10; Midtones: +15, 0, -8; Highlights: +5, 0, 2
11) If you are satisfied with the coloring, begin adding brushes. But for this picture, I personally think setting the contrast (Colors > Brightness and Contrast) down to -14 will suit the avie better.
12) Add a Circle Fuzz Brush with color bf9191 on the left side.
13) Add brushes and text, and viola! You're done!
