Create a new document with size of 1000×1100 px and fill it with
black. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+N to make a new layer. Active Brush Tool (B)
with color #4e1502 and size 1200 px. Paint on the center of the black
canvas:
Step 2
Create a new layer, change brush color to #f6bc2f. Paint inside the dark red area and change the mode to Color Dodge 100%:
Step 3
Use same brush to paint again on a new layer, put the mode to Overlay 70%:
Step 4
Open nebula stock. Use Move Tool (V) to drag it into our canvas:
Step 5
Click the second button at the bottom of Layer Pallete to add mask to
this layer. Use soft black brush with opacity about 40-45% to reduce
nebula effect on some parts. You can see how I did it on layer mask and
result on picture:
Step 6
Duplicate this layer and erase some parts with layer mask to get the result below:
Go to Filter-Blur-Gassian Blur and choose radius as 2 px:
Step 7
Open model stock. First I used Polygonal Lasso Tool to make a selection around model (no need to be so precise with the hair):
Double click background layer to unlock it.
Click the layer mask button to hide background part:
Step 8
Right click the mask of Layer 0, choose Refine Mask:
Use Refine Radius Tool with size about 100 px to paint around the head to reveal more hairs.
Here is my result after refining (I used a red background to make you see it more clearly):
Step 9
Place model after extracting into our main picture, on the top of layers:
Step 10
I want to reduce the lightness on the bright parts of the model so create a new layer above model one with Clipping Mask:
Use brush with color #e6e2e9 to paint on the bright hair, face and hand parts and change the mode to Multiply 100%:
Step 11
Continue reducing the light on model face, arm with a new layer
(Clipping Mask) and same brush. I altered the mode to Multiply 50%:
Step 12
I want to give more details for model hair so on a new layer I used
brush with color #5a595b and size about 20 px. Here is the result after
drawing more hair:
Step 13
To add some red color to the model, I used an adjustment layer with
Clipping Mask. Go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Hue/Saturation:
Step 14
I added a Color Balance layer with same purpose:
Step 15
Make a Curves layer to darken the model:
On Curves layer mask I used soft brush to remove and reduce dark intensity.
Step 16
Create a new layer and use brush with color #f66e2b to paint on the hair and hand. Change the mode to Color 100%:
Step 17
On a new layer use same brush to add more vivid red to the hair and body contour. Set the mode to Overlay 100%:
Step 18
I used brush with color #f5c25f to paint on model contour again to give some orange there. Change the mode to Hard Light 100%:
Step 19
Make a new layer and use same brush to paint on some hair ends and put the mode to Overlay 100%:
Step 20
Create a new layer, I used color #f66e2b to paint inside the eyes then put the mode to Linear Dodge mode 100%:
Step 21
Click brush menu, choose Reset Brushes to active default brush
preset. Now on a new layer, change foreground to #f66e2b and click
Fuzzball brush:
Lower brush size to 80 px and spot inside the eyes. I altered the mode to Linear Dodge mode 100%:
Step 22
To enhance some face details, I made a new layer, changed the mode to Overlay 100% and filled with 50% gray:
Use Dodge and Burn Tool (O) with Midtones Range, Exposure about
20-25% to brighten the eyes effect, face side and nose, darken eyebrows,
nose bridge. You can see how I did it with Normal mode and result with
Overlay mode:
Step 23
Make a new layer on the top, use soft brush with color #bd5733 to paint at the bottom of the image:
Step 24
To make a stronger effect there I used soft brush with color #f6bc2f and changed the mode to Overlay 100%:
Step 25
On a new layer use brush with color #f6bc2f to paint on two hands. I changed the mode to Hard Light 100%:
Step 26
Drag sparks image into our canvas and put the mode to Color Dodge 100%:
I named it “sparks 1″.
Step 27
Add layer mask to this one. Use brush to remove and reduce sparks intensity on some parts below:
Step 28
On sparks 1 layer, go to Filter-Distort-Twirl:
Apply Gassian Blur with 2 px:
Step 29
Duplicate this layer, use Cmd/Ctrl+T to rotate it to get the result below. You can use layer mask to remove any unwanted parts:
Step 30
Open fire images. I’ve chosen two these images to work with:
Use Retangular Marquee Tool (M) to make selection for a fire part on image 1:
Place it at the bottom of model body, change the mode to Screen 100%:
Step 31
To remove white edges remained after changing blending mode, double
click this layer, choose Blending Options. Hold Alt/Option key while
dragging black slider of This Layer until the white edges disappear:
Step 32
Take another parts of the fires and put them around model hair and
body. I applied same settings of Blending Options with all of these
layers and used layer mask to remove unecessary parts.
I used 14 layers for this effect.
Step 33
Make all fire layers selected then press Cmd/Ctrl+G to make group for
them. Change the mode of this group from Pass Through (default group
mode) to Screen 100%. On layer 14 go to Layer-New Adjustment
Layer-Curves:
On Curves layer mask use brush to erase fires on the arms, hair and bottom as I don’t want them too bright:
Step 34
Final step: Press Cmd/Ctrl+Option/Alt+Shift+E to merge all visible layers. Go to Filter-Sharpen-Unsharp Mask:
