Fire Fish Tutorial Manipulation Using Photoshop
Step 17
Now lets add some shapes above the fin to make it more “firey” using the same technique as in step 16.
Step 18
Make a shape on the fishes head, this will add a nice fire-feeling-effect.
Step 19
Repeat step 18 and fade it out using a layer mask( ) and the gradient tool( ).
Step 20
Now put everything we’ve done in a folder and call it “Fish”.
Step 21
Duplicate the fish folder and press CTRL/CMD + E. This will make a copied layer above our fish folder. Add the styles above.
Step 23
This should be your outcome so far.
Step 25
Now we are going to apply out smoke and some of our star brushes. Copy and paste the smoke above the fish and draw some stars in the same layer, set the opacity of the layer to 69%(
and add this layerstyle:
Step 26
Now paste in our globe icon and add a laye rmask(
). Select a brush with a fair large size and set the hardness to 0 and fade out our globe using our large-size-brush, drawing on our layer mask with color #000000:
Step 27
Now place the globe icon behind the firefish.
Step 28
Press CTRL/CMD + T and hold down shift and resize the globe until it fits behind the firefish.
Step 29
No we are up to make the background.
Lets choose a background color. I’m going with #112047.
Step 30
Outcome with background color.
Step 31
Make a new layer on top of the background but behind the globe and firefish. Mark a third of your document using the selection tool. Fill it with darker color(#0e1939).
Step 32
Fade it out. Apply a layer mask, pick the gradient tool and fade it out upwards.
Step 33
Make an oval using the ellipse tool. Place it under the firefish. This is going to be our shadow.
Step 34
Now go to Filter > Blur > Motion blur and apply these settings(you need to do it twice, once for the x-axis and once for the y-axis):
Step 35
Now make a straight line over the globe using the line tool, open layer styles and apply some bevel and emboss(this time I’ll let you pick your own settings).
Step 36
Repeat step 35, but this time do it over the firefish.
Step 37
To finish it up, make a new layer and use the star brushes to draw some stars, this will make our “sky” more realistic.
