Kyoko: thanks! i get all my stuff from Zerochan.net ... so far its been great stuff
Hadriel: ok lets see,
-original picture
-erase background
-replace with textured background from google
-recolor the background to a greenish color (it was purple)
- put the gradient on the background
-more darkness !!! >.> aka, cover overlay black (on top of the image and the background)
- find a image on google or DA that is black with sparkles... or... small glowing arbitrary dots and put it as a "screen" layer
- google fireflies, select black on google images.... save one, put it in as a screen layer nd recolor all the glowing stuff so its greenish/yellow
- select the eyes... layer via copy.... glow effects...
- put a light source over her back...
- white/yellow text + glow .__.
x.x nd yeh.... i was doing a bunch of unnecessary stuff im sure lol.... but i was jus messing around with the tools... so im sure there is a MUCH faster way to get the effect
ok new stuff:
