Create a firey grunge that uses contrasting light and dark colors to
create an end-of-the-world effect. Very artistic and eye catching.
Step 1: Create a new document of whatever size
you'd like, I chose 400x400. Fill it with a black background and make a
couple random lense flares one on each side of the scquare
Step 2:Go to Filter->Sketch->Chrome And
set Detail: 10 Smoothness: 0
Step 3: Fitler->Artistic->Dry Brush:
default settings
Step 4:Duplicate the Layer
Step 5:Filter -> Distort -> Wave with
these settings:
Step 6: Putting the blending mode to screen
and merge the layers (CTRL+E)
Step 7: Duplicated the Layer and Do another
wave distort using the same settings before only setting the Type as
"Triangle"
Step 8: set the blending mode to screen and
then merge the layers.
Step 9: Duplicate the layer and go to
Filter -> Distort -> Polar Coordinates and use Polar to
Rectangular or the other if you want. Duplicate this layer and flip
vertically. Set blending mode to darken.
Step 10: Duplicate this layer and go to
Filter -> Stylize -> Emboss and set layer blending mode to
Overlay or hardlight.
Step 11: Press CTRL+U and select "colorize".
Play with settings until you get the desired color.
Step 12: Make a new layer and press "D" to
reset the colors to black and white. Now go to Filter -> Render ->
Clouds. Then Go to Render -> Difference clouds and repeat until you
get what you think looks nice. Set the blend mode on the cloud layer to
"Linear Light".
Step 13: Go back to your color layer and go to
Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast Set brightness to
-30 and Contrast to +30. Feel free to experiment. Then play with the
color balance setting under image-> adjustments and you can get a good
firey effect.
Final step, grab some grunge brushes and make a new layer on top and
set the mode to overlay. Add some stuff and you have the makings of a
pretty grungey picture.
Here's how mine turned out:
