<p>Ok, this is an easy tut with a nice outcome, FF fans are going to love it! .PSD file is available for free download, scroll down for it.</p>
<p>So&#8230; lets get started. Make a new canvas, 450*150 px. This is the typical signature size allowed in forums, but if you want to make is smaller or bigger, that is up to you.</p>
<p>Final Fantasy Midnight Rain tutorial written by Lorelei © <a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/" target="_blank">www.loreleiweb.com</a></p>
<p>Fill it with the #1a2c6f , dark blue colour.</p>
<p><img src="http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/9330/1ii7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now you would need a pic of some FF girl. We based our sig on this wallpaper: <a href="http://www.vetton.ru/fantasy/6561.html" target="_blank">http://www.vetton.ru/fantasy/6561.html</a> (go there and save it to your computer.</p>
<p>Take this picture, duplicate it as a new canvas and re-size, to 33% of its actual size to get a smaller version.</p>
<p><img src="http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/2127/2uj2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Paste the big version unto your signature canvas, and move it so that the face will be on the right side.</p>
<p><img src="http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/3420/3dv4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Set the opacity of the layer with the face to about 30% or a bit more, we dont want this image to be dominating.</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/5595/4kc1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Duplicate this layer.</p>
<p>While the upper layer is selected, go to Filter &gt;&gt; Blur &gt;&gt; Motion Blur and apply these settings&#8230; Remember that the duplicated layer is also set to 33% opacity, not more!</p>
<p><img src="http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8946/5lz9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is what you go so far&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/4346/6pf4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now take the smaller version of the girl&#8217;s image that you have and paste it into the body of the signature, this time put it in the left side of the canvas, as shown on the picture below:</p>
<p><img src="http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/1974/7az1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Using the Eraser tool with a smooth edge, remove the sharp line that separates the layers. Always use smooth edges, to avoid having same sharp edge just elsewhere on the canvas.</p>
<p>Make a new layer, fill it with white.</p>
<p>Go to Filter &gt;&gt; Render &gt;&gt; Clouds (while you still have dark blue as a primarily colour and white as the secondary) and apply the clouds effect to the new layer.</p>
<p>Go to Image &gt;&gt; Adjustments &gt;&gt; Brightness / Contrast and apply these settings to your clouds, to give them a more dramatic and visible touch.</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/3882/8ev7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Set the clouds layer opacity to 35% &#8211; 40%, and this is what you will get&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img288.imageshack.us/img288/3126/9ep9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Using the eraser tool with smooth edges, remove the clouds from the small  figure, in order to make it stand out.</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/3074/10ib4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now we  need to make an edge, before we forget.<br />
Make a new layer, select the pen tool (not the brush!) with 4px master diameter and draw a box all around the signature. Make sure your line is staight. If you are unable to do it properly, hold the &#8220;Shift&#8221; button on your keyboard to use the straight line.</p>
<p>Go to Layer &gt;&gt; Layer Styles &gt;&gt; Blending options and apply this gentle shadow to your border. It will give a bit more depth to the picture.</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/8690/11co4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is the outcome of the border settings&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2782/12zs3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Make a new layer, fill it with white.<br />
Go to Filter &gt;&gt; Render &gt;&gt; Fibers and apply these fibbers settings&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2964/13go1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Reduce the fibbers layer opacity as shown on the picture below.</p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/6098/14zb9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now take a nice picture of a rain, with droplets.. You can use this one we pulled from some free images stock.</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/9444/15jx7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Copy it to your clipboard and paste unto the signature canvas.<br />
Set it&#8217;s opacity to &#8220;Multiply&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6172/16cl6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Select the typing tool and type a word over the signature. You wrote Midnight Rain&#8221;, but this is very very personal. We used the font called &#8220;moonstar&#8221;, available free at dafont.com</p>
<p>After having typed your word, apply these settings to the text, in order to give it an extra dreamy and deep effect.</p>
<p>Reduce the text fill to 35%.</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5922/17ll5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/449/18pl3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now that we know, more or less, how our canvas looks and organized, select the layer with the small girl image and go to Filter &gt;&gt; Render &gt;&gt; Lightening Effect. Apply this light over her face. We used a light purple colour &#8211; #e1e5fe</p>
<p><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2646/19xo7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>That is it, you are done! This is your result.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fantasy Art for beginners &#8211; mysterious moonlit night written by Lorelei © <a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/" target="_blank">www.loreleiweb.com</a></p>
<p>Believe it or not, but from a few ordinary photos and some primitive brushes, we will make this:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/00.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="413" height="413" /></p>
<p>OK, despite the rather impressive outcome, this is a very simple<br />
tutorial, you wont need more than a few brushes and a few pictures.<br />
Most of it is a mater of technique.<br />
<span id="more-137"></span><br />
Start by creating a new canvas, 500*500 pixels, and fill it with dark blue colour, we used #060062.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/1t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Next, you need a beautiful, and preferably mysterious photo of  a woman, this is what we started off with:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/2t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Copy the girl to your clipboard (Ctrl + C) and paste it (Ctrl + V) unto the blue canvas</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/3t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Select the &#8220;Single Column Marquee tool&#8221; place the selection line on the<br />
edges of the picture, Press Ctrl + T to draw a line, and repeat the<br />
action from the other side as well. This is what this action will give<br />
you&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/4t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the woman&#8217;s picture, and set BOTH layers to &#8220;Luminosity&#8221;<br />
blending option. This will turn both layers blue, as we have a blue<br />
background.<br />
While the upper (duplicated) layer is selected, apply the Gaussian blur on it.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Select the eraser tool with a soft edge, and go over the girl&#8217;s<br />
silhouette, erasing the blurred layer from over the woman&#8217;s body. This<br />
is how it will look, but work your way with the eraser over her skirt<br />
as well.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>After having finished to erase the blur over her body, this is what it will look like:<br />
<a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/7t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Select the blurred layer, and go to Filter &gt;&gt; Render &gt;&gt; Lightening Effects.<br />
Apply this &#8220;omni&#8221; light spot over the blurred layer.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now you got a nice, wrapped in fog moon, that creates a very mysterious<br />
halo around the girl&#8217;s body. That&#8217;s because we used (before) the eraser<br />
tool with the soft edge, while removing the blurred layer we were not<br />
very accurate and deleted a bit of the area around the body as well.<br />
Even if it&#8217;s just a few pixels, it is still great.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now we need to add some landscape&#8230; Easier of all would be to use some<br />
nice clouds photo and not to create clouds from a scrap. So take this<br />
picture, pulled from MorgueFile.com</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/10.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/10t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Copy it (Ctrl + C) and paste unto your fantasy canvas.<br />
Apply the &#8220;Luminosity&#8221; blending style.<br />
Using the eraser tool, remove remains of the clouds from the woman (if any) and the moon.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/11.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Create a new Layer.<br />
Make sure your primal colour is white and your secondary colour (in colours palette) is same blue as the background.<br />
Select the &#8220;Dune Grass&#8221; blush (comes default in Photoshop CS2) and<br />
apply a lot of stamps (or just hold the mouse pressed and go over the<br />
bottom of the canvas)<br />
Ideally, it will look like this&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/13.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now you would need starry brushes. We used some free star brushes downloaded from Deviantart.com<br />
You can choose between..<br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15213768" target="_blank">http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15213768</a><br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31601676" target="_blank">http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31601676</a> or any other&#8230;</p>
<p>Once you have installed the star brushes and loaded then into your<br />
Photoshop, make a new layer and apply a generous amount of stars over<br />
the upper part of your canvas.<br />
Remember to use pure white colour for the brushes. If you see that the<br />
result is dull &#8211; go to Layer &gt;&gt; Layer Styles &gt;&gt; Blending<br />
options and add default yellowish glow.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/15.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Go to the layers menu and select the layer with the clouds (remember it has to be on luminosity mode)<br />
Select the Dune Grass brush again, and add a bit grass from both sides<br />
of the woman, but make sure you dont apply them over her. The idea is<br />
to create the illusion of her sitting IN the grass and not behind it.<br />
Since here the blending mode is different (luminosity), the grass will<br />
look more moonlit in front of her.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/16.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Go again to layers menu and select the first layer of the woman, which stayed intact so far&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/17.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Go to Filter &gt;&gt; Renders &gt;&gt; Lightening effects and apply a<br />
light spot, similar to what we did with the blurred layer, only bigger</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/18.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/18t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And this is how it looks now, now the girl is slightly lit from one side more than from another:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/19.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>If you are happy with all the layers and see that no correction is<br />
needed &#8211; good! Now you can flatten the layer by going to Layer &gt;&gt;<br />
Flatten Image.<br />
Now that the canvas is fully merged into one picture, go to Image &gt;&gt; Adjustments &gt;&gt; Hue Saturation.<br />
Check the &#8220;colorize&#8221; box, and set these settings, for a flat blue<br />
colour. IF you wish to give your canvas a different hue, its up to you,<br />
just play with the settings here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/20.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.loreleiweb.com/28/fantasy/20t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! We have a beautiful bewitching girl, sitting my the sea,<br />
while the fool moon is wrapped in fog and slightly lightening the<br />
grass, the sea&#8217;s horizon line and the lady&#8217;s side&#8230;</p>

Start off by creating a new canvas, mine is 340&#215;110, and fill it with a not so dark nor bright color, a bit grayish. Im using this color: “#777272”. Take the BURN tool and brush abit on the sides. It’ll look like this:

<p>Start off by creating a new canvas, mine is 340&#215;110, and fill it with a not so dark nor bright color, a bit grayish. Im using this color: “#777272”. Take the BURN tool and brush abit on the sides. It’ll look like this:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now place your render in the canvas, I’m using the one of Prince of Persia provided at the bottom of this page.<br />
Take out the smudge tool and use these settings:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting1.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting2.png" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting3.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting3.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Copy your render a couple of times and smudge using those settings. Don’t oversmudge it, the other parts will be covered later. Repeat this step untill the whole background is covered, you can move your copies of the render to the sides if you don’t reach all the background it by only doing this. Set all layers to color dodge. My result:<br />

Doesn’t look really sexy huh :S, well… move a unedited copy of your render to the top, leave it like it is.<br />
Now move another copy of your render to the top and smudge only al little bit. Just try to get one “splash”, set to pinlight, my result:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Now add an Gradient map, go to layer -&gt; adjustments layer -&gt; Gradient Map. Click on the gradient and choose a black to white gradient.<br />
Now make a new layer and fill it with black, set it to softlight, now take out a softbrush at 100% opacity and brush where the render was, try to make a cool lighting effect. Result:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Now go create a new layer and go to image -&gt; apply image. Then go to filter -&gt; blur Gaussian blur and set it to 1,0 pixels, now grab an eraser and erase the parts that you don’t want to be blurry. Result:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Now, go to layer -&gt; new adjustments layer -&gt; photofilter, use this setting:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting5.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Now add another photofilter:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting6.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Now go to layer -&gt; new adjustments layer -&gt; gradient map and use this:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/SETTINGS/setting7.png" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Set it to softlight at opacity of 30%.<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>It has a warm feeling now</p>
<p>Now apply image again (image -&gt; apply image) and go to filter -&gt; distort -&gt; ocean ripple. Set it to overlay at around 20% and Ctrl + click the thumbnail of the backup of your render. You’ll get a selection of your render. Press delete to delete it out of the rippled area. Result:<br />
<img class="linked-image" src="http://cg-files.com/cgpicture/POPtut/PREVIEWS/7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
No shocking changes but imo it gave a little more depth.</p>

Final RESULT:<br />
