Final Effect Preview
First of all, we open the character material, the first step to do is: Image > Adjust > Go to Color, create a new layer, color black, placed in the bottom of the character layer, with the cutting tool, in the character material layer of the top drag, the image becomes longer. Create a layer mask and merge with the gradient tool.
Next we want to create a new 2 layer, layer blending mode to overlay and normal. Select a soft brush, the color is black, on the overlay layer on the smear, the effect is as follows:
2nd Step
Now we're going to create a feather texture for our hair, drag the feathers in the material, and use our own transformation tool to adjust the direction of the feathers and the direction of the hair to keep the same.
3rd Step
Now to add wings, use the layer mask and brush tool to make the fusion (such as not clear friends see the video tutorial), using the Magic wand tool (tolerance 50) to remove the background of the wing material.
4th step
Choose a soft brush with black color to draw some shadows to make the image more realistic.
5th step
Choose a soft brush, in the wings of the mask on the material on the smear, hide the unwanted parts, for better integration.
6th step
Now let's darken the upper-right and lower-right corners of the image, create a new layer, select the gradient tool (black to transparent), and hold down the SHIFT key from the face section to the upper-right corner. The same method darkens the lower-right corner.
7th step
Create depth of the scene, add feather material (PNG), respectively Gaussian blur to 2 feathers, control the degree of ambiguity, looks like the feeling from far to near.
8th Step
Now we're going to add some smoke effects, open the smoke footage, and blend in the image shown below, we will cover the wing layer to adjust hue/saturation, lightness 30
9th step
This step is the same as step 5
10th Step
Create a new hue/saturation adjustment layer, check the shading options, saturation 100, because as long as we work on the smoke layer, we created the clipping mask, so we finished the red smoke effect.
11th Step
Press SHIFT + Ctrl + Alt + E to seal the layer. You can use the color balance or photo filter to adjust to make the image have a simple color.
Step 12
In the final 2 steps, we add intelligent sharpening and lens correction to the image, and intelligent sharpening makes the image more detailed (quantity 100%,1px).
Step 13
Filter Gallery-lens correction, parameters for +20-20-20
