If u like it.. Please + rep or credit.. Ok here is my First tutorial.. Ill share my Grunge Style Technique 1.Open Photoshop. Make a new document. I use 400 x 150 2.Click āDā to make sure it is default colour (black and white) and then Filter-->Render-->Cloud 3.Make a new layer and name it BlackBrush.. Choose your grunge Brush.. and brush it.. Make sure it is not too dark! Here is my result: 4.Make a new layer and name it WhiteBrush. Make sure the layer is above the BlackBrush. Choose ur brush and brush it.. I just brush a little.. Here is my result: 5.Now put ur render.. And Sharpen it once.. Filter-->Sharpen-->Sharpen.. Name the layer as Original. Layer must be above the brushes Layer. Optional : U can try blend it with Linear Light after u hav finished all the steps 6.Now duplicate the original render. And Sharpen it one more time.. And then change the blend mode to softlight.. Name the layer to Soflight.. Make sure that the layer is above the Original Render layer.. 7.Duplicate once more the original render. And then Blurred it.. Filter-->Blur-->Gaussian Blur.. I use 4.0 pxl.. The layer should be between the Softlight layer and Original render layer.. Named it blurred.. Optional : U can vector mask all the three layer so it looks more blended.. Here is My result: 8.This is Optional.. Duplicate 2 or 3 times ur original render.. Then place it left and right.. Motion blur it.. Filter-->Blur-->Motion Blur. Angle : -42 Distance : 235.. Set the blend mode to colour dodge..And then duplicate it once each.. Then set the blend mode to linear light.. U can place this layer Above the brush layer or Below the brush layer.. Here My Result: 9.Here come the hardest part for me to explain..Make a new layer and colour it with the colour u want ur render to be.. I choose red.. And then vector mask it so that only the render will be effected.. Set the blend mode to colour dodge. Here my result: 10.Now we will play with Colour Balance.. Layer-->NewAdjustmentLayer--> Colour Balance.. I use .. Shadows : -5,0,2 Midtones : 48,-6,60 Highlights :17,0,59 Place it above all the render layer and below the red layer.. Now it shoul look like this.. 11.To make it doesnt look monotone.. Now we use Lasso tool.. make sure u set ur feather 10-20.. Choose the place u want to change the colour.. But dont touch the render.. And then repeat Step 10 with Diffrent Colour Setting.. I mean the shadows,midtones, and highlights. 12.Repeat step 11 in other place until u satisfied.. (I repeat 4 times!!). And my result: 13.Its time to colour the grimreaper's weapon.. Use Lasso Tool and Lasso the weapon.. And then Use colour balance again.. I use.. Shadows: -11,0,-13 Midtones: 10,0,-54 Highlights:11,0,-100 And here my result: 14.The last part is the text.. I use Dark11 Font.. Duplicate the text layer.. 1Softlight and 1 more Overlay.. Soflight above the Overlay.. And U hav Done it!! But i make line to make my text look cooler for me.. Here is my result.. Since it looks complicated i post my layer placement.. Here: I WILL POST THE RENDER IF U WANT TO TRY WITH THE SAME RENDER.. Here is the Brush Pack http://rapidshare.de/files/5754755/NRB_Grunge2.abr.html]Grunge Brush Pack[/URL] And one more is Heat Brush Pack.. But i juz use a lil bit at this tut..
use lasso tool and then vector it.. I only vector the Original layer and Softlight layer for the render.. Clear? If not clear.. Use lasso tool.. make a selection roughly to the render.. and then add vector mask it.. The Vector mask button is at the bottom of the layerbar..
