You will need: One pic of your favorite actor/character/person, preferably a clear shot of his/her face
Open your canvas to 700x180.
Place first texture into the canvas. I scaled down until the upper left corner of the texture was visible, using that to add shading. Desaturate.
Open second texture. Set to Soft Light, opacity 100%. Move so that the red/pink is off to the left side of the sig.
Open third texture. Set to Overlay, opacity 100%. I also moved this around quite a lot to get the yellow and red tones at the top of the sig.
Open fourth texture. Set to Lighten Only, opacity 100%. This will leave the writing visible only in the corners and dark areas. Duplicate this layer and move the duplicated layer so that it covers the remainder of the sig. Erase edges so it blends in the center. Don't worry if the lines don't line up perfectly. The pic of your character/person will cover this up nicely.
Open fifth texture (the rose). Don't worry, this isn't going to be girly. Desaturate and set to Darken Only, opacity 25%. Then, move this around until the swirled texture of the petals shows to the left. It adds just a touch of depth to the background. (You can most see it to the left side of my sig, just behind Carson.)
Open the pic of your character/person. Erase the background. If necessary, lighten the pic. Duplicate, and set the duplicated layer to Soft Light, opacity 39%.
Add your text in #1b1313. For the word “Character,” I used Lane Posh. I used Licinia Aged for the rest of it.
I'm so behind on posting in here, but Great Works everyone!!
Thank you Jumble for posting.
Thanks Graceful.
I'm seeing some incredible new pics of Amanda... the one I used was found on the net, but that was it except the ones that Nola gave me. Would you guys be so kind and share. I would really like to use them. Thanks.
Evening all, gorgeous work for tut week as ever !!
Hate to be a bossy boots but can I please remind you all to PM your entries to me? Tut week posts are complicated enough without having to go through the thread and pick up entries and we'd really hate for anybodys to be left out
Please also remember to PM me the tut used to make the sig, indicate who the author was and include your name in the image file you send.
