Artwork for All - challenges, graphics, tutorials

[Padme18]

Apologies. I only read the "June" and I assumed it was a art pice for the month of June and not for the Beya June Art Challenge. Hence the confusion.

That explains it then.

Lovely arties everyone.... *sigh*

This is for a one-stock challenge - the idea is to get all the elements from one stock provider and no brushes except those that come with Photoshop basically link

ehehe, a new world of possibilities

Unfortunately, I'm stubborn: if you first don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try again...

Your own version of tuts...

Lovely work everyone! One day I'll have more time to play on this thread again

I have had a go at JadedWraith's tut though - fantastic bit of art and proof that often keeping it simple has the best results

*runs back in and clears throat*

In looking to see who I had to send my entry to for this week, I discovered it's actually me Which if nothing else is an indication that I have not received any entries from anyone yet So hurry up and get PMing! You have until 5pm UK time tomorrow to send them in - that's just over 19 hours away

As a general rule, please do try and send art in to whichever of us is collecting as soon as you make it - it's really helpful for us if we can put the post together gradually as the week progresses rather than having to do the whole thing on Friday evening We don't mind receiving multiple PMs from you if you make lots of stuff throughout the week, better that than getting everything on Friday!

Thank you all!

But I don't use stock images... wibble.png

I know it's a bit late really for anyone to use this this week, but it might be of use to someone at some point in the future! Anyway, I thought I'd do a tut for my Miyazaki sig last week, because it's got lots of colouring things that people might find useful to see, even though the composition is super basic.

So, tut for this sig:

Spoiler:

1. Crop the original screencap - here it is so that you can see what I started with:

2. Lighten it using a curves adjustment layer. There are two points on this:
- Point 1: output 131, input 68
- Point 2: output 219, input 166

3. Add a selective color layer with the following settings:
- Cyans: C-29
- Blues: C-66, Y+90
- Blacks: Y-7, B+24
This takes a lot of the overbright blue/turquoisey tones out of it and introduces some purplish and slightly subdued tones, like so:

4. Make a stamp of the whole thing. Then add this texture on a new layer, and move the stamped layer above it set to hard light. This is going to look way overexposed, but don't worry, we're going to fix that



5. Now add a color balance layer, with the following settings:
- Shadows: C-R +17, M-G -20, Y-B +45
- Midtones: C-R +20
This is taking away some of the green and increasing the purple tones, like so:

6. Now a hue/saturation layer, taking away a lot of the colour saturation - basically whack the saturation slider down to -56, and also bring the lightness slider down a bit, to -8. Make another stamp of the whole thing at this point.

7. Add a new layer and fill with #6d533a (a warm mid-brown) and set to color. Bam, sepia! Lighten it a bit with another curves layer.

8. Now move your stamp from step six to the top and set to soft light.

9. Now add another layer, fill with #362f2d and set to overlay. This brings it all out in a really gorgeous vintagey way.

10. And finally, the text. The font is Myriad Pro. Duplicate the text layer and use the gaussian blur on the lower of the two to give it a slight fuzz round the edge and then you're done

Thanks for the heads-up Josi!

@RiG i've been studying your tut .... I just should get a life.

O-kay...?

Guess nobody wanted to give the tut I linked to a try huh? That figures, seeing as it's a Gimp tut. Oh well. To each their own.

Thank you JW and RIG! I really thought I failed, glad to see that others think that I did not

Y'welcome.



Well, I'm giving Yamii's tut a try and I'm afraid I'm at a standstill. I got all the textures in place with no problems but I can't place my image of Dean because I'm using Gimp and Gimp doesn't have the same type of magic wand tool for erasing that PS does. I did try simply erasing the bits of the image of Dean that I did not want but it just wasn't working. And, when I tried to open to wp in PS, to use said eraser, it told me it was the wrong type of file. I just can't win.
