Official Wiz Tut#2
Recommended for Novices...
Outcome:
Image
Step1.Take out a new Document and brush around with grudge like brushes and combine it with other brushes that semi-stand out more than the grudge like brushes that you just put down.
Image
Step2.Now add a new layer and put a gradient on it similiar
to the color of your render. Set it to overlay or soft light.
Image
Step3.Now you will need to duplicate your backround about
2 times, the first one you will need to blur>pixelize it by 11-12
and set it to hard light 90%. The second one needs to be pixelized
also but by 13-16. Set that to lighten only at 50%.
Image
Step4. Then sharpen the original backround by 10-50 depending on the brushes u used.
Image
Step5.Next marge al the layers together, make sure to merge the layers
from the bottom not from the top so nothing gets messed up. Then add your render now.
Image
Step6.Next duplicate your render and motion blur the duplicate to these
settings on linear blur.14 in length and 140 in angle. Now go to filters>artistic>softglow and softglow on the duplicate. with a middle brightness setting, high sharpness and very lowglow radius settings.
Image
Step7.Next put a soft glow on your original render with the same settings but higher glow radius and lower brightness. then sharpen it by 10-50.Now you will take out the eraser tool and erase the bad parts including mostly the face and around leaving the good parts there.
Image
Step8. Add another gradient, i cant really say what colors becuase it
depends on how your sig is so far.This step is optional...Set the gradient to whatever you feel looks best...
Image
Step9.Add a border (i always forget this becuz its the last thing i do)
Image
Step10. Add text,duplicate the text layer and pixelize it by 5-10..you can
also try to diverse the pixelized layer to make the text looks better.
Image

Pretty cool, seems a bit empty for my taste, but good job nonetheless.

Hmm try scaleing the render layer and using the eraser a bit more,
You want the backround to stand out more but still having the
quality of the text and the render..

Nice tutorial, but I don't really like the outcome... The colors and render were bad, but I liked the idea. Thanks!

nice tut but the bg comes out a little flat. some pentooling and adding text to a middle layer will add depth. here's my effort.

Awesome tutorial, I'll try it. @ Soulz: either right click on your render or stock pic or press control and c then to paste it onto you sig just right click and press paste or press control and V. Hope that I helped!

Great tut, nice & easy to follow.

Here's what I came up with. I added an extra render layer though, as it didn't stand out too well before, and she looked a bit too orange. And I think I did my border a bit differently.

Image

I prefer your background effect to mine, though I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I used a grid-shaped grunge brush, and had to apply it twice, so it doesn't line up so well. How badly does that stand out?

c&c greatly appreciated, thanks

(Ignore the number on it, I'm trying to make something for a different forum. :oops: )

Hey asdf, I'm not sure, I'm new to GIMP, too, but maybe you didn't duplicate the render and only blur the top layer. Leave the one underneath alone, then when you erase the top one, the bottom one shows through.

Here's my result. I added some brushing because it looked pretty empty otherwise. :)
