Ratchetnclanks First ever tut

[ratchetnclank]

this is what were making.


first off paste the render onto the canvas and resize.



to make the eye more shiny i duplicated the render layer and filter>blur>gaussian blur.
Set this layer to lighten.



Now create a new layer and brush on some white with 0% hardness, then lower the opacity i used 56 %.



find the picture you want to be reflected on the eye and paste onto a new layer.
Press CTRL + ALT + G to make a clipping mask resize and move until it looks right.



i then decided the reflection was too bright so i pasted the orignal layer above layer 4. put this at 15 % opacity


click the ying yang icon and choose graident map i chose black and white one. I erased over the iris and the reflection in the eye.


i then pasted the relected layer again to give some more definition. i set this to hard light 67% opacity.



i then chose another black and white graident map and just erased over the iris to leave the blue showing.


next click the ying yang icon and select photo filter, i chose warming on 17% opacity.


i chose purple to orange gradient map and put on soft light 95% opacity.


i then Image>apply image to darken the pic then blurred the edges of the sig with the blur tool.



image>apply image and set to soft light at around 54% opacity.


i then added a colour balance, play around with the sliders your self to get some soft natural looking colours.


i then added a brightness/contrast layer and made the sig slightly darker.


i then got a soft black brush and brushed the edges of the sig to darken it and lowered the opacity to 52%


i then added another black and white gradient map and set to soft light on 10% opacity.




please dont rip i make this for you guys.

Well I just found the tut now and tried it out straight away. I had the render and wanted to do something with it so I just used it.
