| All I'm going to do is draw some mountains
in and add some huge chunks of light into the sky, all eminating
from the moon.
And that's about it. I
just did a few more touch up bits here and there and added
a small shine on the lense. The mountains consist of a new
layer with blue mountains drawn in, then I added another adjustment
layer that only effected the mountains, set it at -100 and
cut away at the top of it and filled it in with a grey colour.
Doop doop! The colours are a little
messed up from being saved as a GIF |
Simple,
right? As far as exporting goes I got lucky in that when
I drew and cropped this pic it turned out to be 641 width,
which means I can just go into Image Size and type in 320
for a width and leave the height, this image was orignally
intended for a cut scene and the camera would pan upwards
so that's why the height is larger than 200.
So yea,
that's about it...

| One other
little tid bit on Photoshop, I highly suggest that just because
you can add lights in Photoshop, DON'T. They don't make a
good looking scene and it comes out looking really bad. Let
me teach by example:
ugly
pretty!
I feel that the hand drawn
one is MUCH better than the one using a filter.
Always try and remember
your light source. Light comes from somewhere, be it a window
or a lamp or just some spot in the room, light comes from
that point.
You can even use this technique
to redraw over ripped backrounds or objects. It would make
your game look better if all the art seemed to come from your
hand and not a wall you drew with a Full Throttle door pasted
on it. Just trace that door and people won't even know...
What ever you need to do to get the picture to look like how
you want it, doesn't matter. You can scan pictures out of
magazines and trace those images, find a picture of a statue
online and trace it and colour it and people will think you
drew it completely by yourself. People don't need to know
the process that went in to the drawing, just that the drawing
was completed and looks nice.
I think that is all. If
there is a better way to do all of this than feel free to
email me or write
your own tutorial. I hope you found this useable. eric out
