Metal Storm
This tutorial was written by Bhamman October 2018, and assumes a working knowledge of psp.
Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Supplies needed:
Tube of choice - I am using Arthur Crowe artwork (with a close up), which you can get Here
Do not use this artwork without a license.
Scrapkit - Stormy, FTU from Chaos Priestess Here
Masks 40 and 242 from Mizteeque Here
Font of choice. I used Brushtip from DA Fonts Here
Drop Shadow 2,5,50,8 Black.
Optional filter: Radiance from Xero.
Don’t forget to sharpen when re-sizing your elements/tube.
I am using PSP x2. Some of the effects may not be available in earlier versions.
I am working from back to front for the layering in this tutorial, except where noted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Open blank canvas 700 x 700 floodfill white
Open paper 03, copy/paste into canvas and adjust/hue and saturation/colourize: H165, S90.
Apply Miz mask 40. Adjust size so it virtually fills the canvas.
Open SFrame 02, copy/paste into canvas, re-size 80% position slightly left of centre,
central in height. Dropshadow.
Open tube close up, copy/paste into canvas under frame and apply Miz mask 242.
Position so it fills both frames and spills out around the frame edge.
Option: I duplicated this layer, used the Xero filter Radiance and reduced opacity to around 60
but this could depend on the tube you use and personal choice.
Element: SSprinkles, resize 70%, position towards the top of the canvas.
Dropshadow.
Element: SSparkles, resize 70%, position towards the top of the canvas, making sure not to obscure
too much of the close up tube face. No drop shadow.
Open main tube, copy/paste into canvas above the frame, re-size to suit and position slightly
to the right of centre so it covers about one third/quarter of the frame/tube layer above.
Option: Duplicate the tube, then Adjust/Blur/Gaussian 10px blur and change blend mode to Screen and reduce opacity to
around 42, again depending on the tube you use.
Dropshadow.
Time to add in a few more elements, I used:
Element: SFlowerCluster, no resize, colourize as above, position to hide the square edge to the bottom of the tube
(depends on the tube you used) and bottom of the frame.
Dropshadow.
Element: SRibbon 01, resize 55%, mirror, position on the corner top left of the frame.
Dropshadow.
Element: SFlower02, resize 50%, position over the bottom of the frame to the left, partially hiding the white leaf, colourize as above.
Dropshadow.
Element: SFlower01, resize 50%, position over the bottom of the frame partially covering the playing card.
Dropshadow.
Element: SRose01, resize 50%, position to partially obscure the right side of the above element.
Dropshadow.
Element: SHeart01, resize 50%, position to obscure the leaves on the right side of the above element.
Dropshadow.
** I then erased the rest of the leaves from SRose01 that were poking out behind this element.**
I then resized all layers to 80% which brings the tag size to about 560x560 px, re-sharpened any layers that needed it
and added copyright and license information.
Check on how it looks and make any adjustments, then close off white background layer and add names as required
(I positioned the name at the top left of the tag), export as png on transparent background.
Thanks for trying this tutorial out.
Thank you!!
