Okay, this is my first tut so be kind :P
For PSP but it's easily translatable.

Requested by [info]prettybutt

From to

Original image here.

Step 1:Get your base.


Step 2:Duplicate your base and set it to "screen", 100% opacity.


Step 3:Duplicate that layer 3 times. You should now have 4 "screen" layers above your base.


Step 4:Next, take this light texture made by [info]tihana flip it, sharpen it once, then set it to "screen", 100% opacity.
Move it over so it lines up with the edge of the crypt.


Step 5:Again, take another light texture, also made by [info]tihana flip it, sharpen it once, then set it to "screen", 100% opacity.


Step 6:Make a new layer on top of the 2 screen layers. Fill it with a beige color and set it to "Multiply", 100% opacity.


Step 7:Duplicate your base and set it to "soft light", 100% opacity. Drag it and set it above all your other layer.


Step 8:Flatten the image, duplicate it, sharpen once, and set it to "soft light", 100% opacity.


Step 9:Next, take this pink light thing and set it to "screen", 100% opacity.


Step 10:Take this brush, made by [info]77words rotate it so it looks like this, then set it to screen, 100% opacity.
Move it over so it's at the edge of the crypt.


Step 11:Add text under the pink light thing (I used 8pt Desyrel)


Step 12:Flatten the image, duplicate it, and set it to "soft light", 100% opacity.


Step 13:Crop it, and you're finished! :D


Don't copy this tutorial exactly try to use different textures and play around with layers, colors, and opacities.

Click this, this, this, and this to get all the psp steps.

The two textures were made by [info]tihana and the brush was made by [info]77words. I'm working on a resource post so as soon as I put that up I'll give you the link so you can look around. Short version though, I use textures and brushes made by [info]dearest, [info]_inxsomniaxbox, [info]bittersweet_art, [info]tihana, [info]arisubox, [info]ewanism, [info]wash_when_dirty, [info]crazy_clockwork, [info]_iconographer, [info]pink_my_icons, [info]luthien_black, and [info]zemie .... wow that was like a mini resource post! I'm working on a big resource post, so as soon as that's up I'll give you the link. :D
