<p>In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to Design this cool looking,  Awesome Nature-Themed Artwork in Photoshop. This is an intermediate level tutorial and some steps can be tricky, but why not have a try!</p>
<p>Here a preview of the final effect: (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nature-abstract-final1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5898" title="nature-abstract-final" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nature-abstract-final1-500x455.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="455" /></a></p>

<p>To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stock:</p>
<p><a href="http://greenleaf-stock.deviantart.com/art/06-rock-pool-73679808" target="_blank">Rock</a></p>
<p><a href=" http://della-stock.deviantart.com/art/Waterfall-Full-8620118" target="_blank">Waterfall</a></p>
<p><a href="http://wolfc-stock.deviantart.com/art/262-tree-43439571" target="_blank">Tree 1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://lillyfly06-stock.deviantart.com/art/Tree-stock-59744553" target="_blank">Tree 2</a></p>
<p><a href="http://crystalsm.deviantart.com/art/Redtail-Hawk-Stock-2-135130951" target="_blank">Hawk</a></p>
<h3>Step 1</h3>
<p>Create a new document sized 900px * 800px, leave the background colour as white.</p>
<p>The way I intended for this artwork is somehow the overall shape would resemble a number &#8220;1&#8243; shape. So Firstly I create a 3D text model using Illustrator (I won&#8217;t demonstate the steps to create this 3D effect as it&#8217;s irrelevant to this Photoshop tutorial) to use as a model for this abstract effect.</p>
<p>You can download a copy of this image and paste it on your canvas, by clicking the image below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-drag-3d.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5859" title="1-drag-3d" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-drag-3d-500x455.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="455" /></a></p>
<p>Of course the final effect won&#8217;t include this 3D text, however it gives a good starting point for the abstract effect I&#8217;m going to make.</p>
<p>Load the &#8220;Rock&#8221; texture into Photoshop, grab the Quick Selection tool and select a random piece of rock according to the settings below:</p>
<blockquote><p>Important: Tick the &#8220;Auto-Enhance&#8221; option on the top toolbar for the Quick Selection Tool, this will help improving the edges of the selection.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-quick.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5866" title="1 quick" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-quick-500x196.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="196" /></a></p>
<p>Select Random Rock Pieces from this rock stock image:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select-rock.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5868" title="1 select rock" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select-rock-500x307.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Copy and paste the selection onto our document, resize, rotate and fit it onto any position you like on the text:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-paste2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5865" title="1 paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-paste2-500x418.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="418" /></a></p>
<p>Select another different piece from the rock texture using the quick selection tool:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select-rock-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5867" title="1 select rock 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select-rock-2-500x225.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Paste it onto the canvas, and after you paste it, make sure you use a soft eraser to get rid of any edge roughness, so as to blend it with the background and other rock texture.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5864" title="1 erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase2-500x401.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="401" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Hint: Use the Chalk brush (comes with Photoshop by default), with a 40% flow and opacity to erase the edges. You will find it quite effective in situation like this.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-chalk-eraser.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium  wp-image-5861" title="1 chalk eraser" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-chalk-eraser-500x233.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="233" /></a></p>
<p>Repeat the select, copy and paste routine, make sure you select a different piece of the rock texture each time, until you cover the whole 3D text as shown below: (Erase the edges with soft brushes along the way)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase-21.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5863" title="1 erase 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase-21-500x451.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="451" /></a></p>
<p>Also use the dodge and burn tool to darken and lighten some areas of the rocky texture so we have some lighting dynamics and increase the depth of the image:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-dodge-burn.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5862" title="1 dodge burn" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-dodge-burn-500x461.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="461" /></a></p>
<p>Please note that the above screenshots only provide an indicative guide, you will need to experience the effect yourself as the textures may differ from mine to yours.</p>
<h3>Step 2</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;Waterfall&#8221; stock image into Photoshop, use whatever selection method you prefer to cutout the waterfall portion, copy and paste it on our document, name this layer as &#8220;waterfall&#8221;, resize and fit it to the portion as shown below</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-waterfall-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5877" title="2 waterfall paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-waterfall-paste-500x460.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="460" /></a></p>
<p>use soft brush to erase the edges of the waterfall so it blends with  the rock and the background:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-erase2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5874" title="2 erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-erase2-500x484.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="484" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following Curves adjustment layer on top of the waterfall layer: (make sure to select &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5873" title="2 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the waterfall layer once, flip it horizontally and put it to the lower position as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-paste-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5875" title="2 paste 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-paste-2-500x475.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following Curves adjustment layer on top of the waterfall layer:  (make sure to select &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves-overall.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full  wp-image-5872" title="2 curves overall" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves-overall.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>We can also do some tiny adjustments for the overall effect. So add the following two adjustment layers on top of all previous layers:</p>
<p>Vibrance</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-vib.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5876" title="2 vib" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-vib.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Curves</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5871" title="2 curves 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-curves-2.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></h3>
<p>Here is the effect so far:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-effect1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5878" title="2 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-effect1-500x443.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="443" /></a></p>
<p>We can now hide the original 3D text layer cos we won&#8217;t be needing it anymore.</p>
<h3>Step 3</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;Tree 1&#8243; texture into Photoshop. Cut the tree portion of the image with Channel Masking technique (if you&#8217;re not familar with this technique, please refer to Step 3 of <a href="http://www.psdvault.com/photo-effect/design-a-black-and-white-dreamy-style-surreal-artwork-in-photoshop/" target="_blank">this post</a> for detailed explanation) and paste it onto our document. Name this new layer as &#8220;tree 1&#8243;, resize it to a small size and fit it on top of the rocks:</p>
<p>Make sure you erase the edges of the tree layer as depicted below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-paste-erase.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium  wp-image-5881" title="3 paste erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-paste-erase-500x460.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="460" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following Curves adjustment layer (make sure to select &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option) on top of the tree layer to bring out some extra lights:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-curves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5883" title="3 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>We can also add some grass texture on to the bottom of the tree for more details. So grab the lasso tool with a 40px feather to select a piece of the grass from the tree  stock image:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-select-grass.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5882" title="3 select grass" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-select-grass-500x268.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>Copy and paste it onto our document and put the new layer below the Tree layer, resize it to fit the size of the rock base, change the blending mode to &#8220;overlay&#8221;, you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-grass-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5880" title="3 grass paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-grass-paste.jpg" alt="" width="478" height="421" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 4</h3>
<p>I feel like adding more tree images on the rocks for more details. So load the &#8220;Tree 2&#8243; texture into Photoshop. Use the same channel masking technique to cut out the tree from the stock image, paste it onto our document, into the the following positions:</p>
<p>Top Left</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-tree-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5885" title="4 tree paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-tree-paste-499x260.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following Curves adjustment layer on top:   (make sure to select &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curve-left.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5886" title="4 curve left" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curve-left.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Bottom Right:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-tree-paste.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-tree-dup.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5884" title="4 tree dup" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-tree-dup-500x269.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="269" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following Curves adjustment layer on top:   (make sure to select  &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves-bottom.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5887" title="4 curves bottom" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves-bottom.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 5</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;Hawk&#8221; image into Photoshop, cut out the hawk and paste it onto our document, resize it to a very small size:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-eagle-resize.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium  wp-image-5889" title="5 eagle resize" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-eagle-resize-500x348.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>To add some motion for the hawk, duplicate this new hawk layer once, apply the following motion blur settings to the duplicated layer:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-mo-blur.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5891" title="5 mo blur" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-mo-blur.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="352" /></a></p>
<p>Change the blending mode the duplicated layer to &#8220;Hard Light&#8221;, drop the opacity to 30%:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-effect3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5890" title="5 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-effect3-500x361.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="361" /></a></p>
<p>Adding more details, we can also put aonther hawk on the left side of the rock:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-eagle-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5888" title="5 eagle 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-eagle-2.jpg" alt="" width="379" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>and here is the overall effect so far:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-effect-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5892" title="5 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-effect-2-500x495.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="495" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 6</h3>
<p>Ok we&#8217;re almost done! For some final adjustments, I added the following two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lens flare &#8211; not a popular option in Photoshop, but in this occasion I think it brings extra effect and color into the image</li>
<li>Cloud texture &#8211; for the surrounding environment</li>
</ul>
<p>To add the lens flare effect, we can create a new layer on top of all previous layers, fill the new layer with black color, then apply the following Lens Flare settings:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-lens-filter.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5893" title="6 lens filter" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-lens-filter.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>You will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-lens-flare.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5894" title="6 lens flare" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-lens-flare-500x438.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="438" /></a></p>
<p>Change the blending mode of this layer to &#8220;Screen&#8221;, you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5895" title="6 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect-500x369.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>You can move, duplicate this Lens Flare layer for more effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5896" title="6 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect-2-500x453.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="453" /></a></p>
<p>For the cloud texture, you can either use cloud brushsets or stock image to achieve it. I painted some cloud on the top and bottom of the canvas:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5897" title="6 effect 3" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-effect-3-499x458.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="458" /></a></p>
<p>and here is the final effect for this tutorial: (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nature-abstract-final1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5898" title="nature-abstract-final" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nature-abstract-final1-500x455.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="455" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for this tutorial! Hope you enjoy it and learn something new!</p>

<p>In this tutorial, I will show you the steps I took to create this black and white, dreamy style sureal artwork in Photoshop. Have a try!</p>
<p>If you have been following my tutorials for a while, you will notice that I very rarely publish anything that is black and white &#8211; I love colours, but I think sometimes black and white style can produce effect that colour can&#8217;t &#8211; for example, a sense of dark and gloom.</p>
<p>Here is a preview of the final effect I have for this tutorial: (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bw-surreal-scene-flatten1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5614" title="bw-surreal-scene-flatten" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bw-surreal-scene-flatten1-500x267.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="267" /></a></p>

<p>OK let&#8217;s get started!</p>
<p>To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stocks:</p>
<p><a href="http://anikathropoloustock.deviantart.com/art/Windowsill-II-159128003" target="_blank">Female model</a></p>
<p><a href="http://the-strawberry-tree.deviantart.com/art/More-Cliff-Stock-164-99306887" target="_blank">Cliff</a></p>
<p><a href="http://its-only-stock.deviantart.com/art/Tree-In-A-Field-48570705" target="_blank">Tree</a></p>

<p><a href="http://stock7000.deviantart.com/art/Planet-Iros-Sigma-147563053" target="_blank">Planet</a></p>
<h3>Step 1</h3>
<p>Create a new document size 1300px *700px. fill the background layer with black colour. Now let&#8217;s start laying the foundation.</p>
<p>Load the &#8220;Cliff&#8221; image into Photoshop and use the Rectangular Marquee tool to select a portion of the cliff:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5569" title="1 select" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-select-500x329.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>copy and paste your selection onto our canvas, resize it and position it as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5568" title="1 paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-paste-500x264.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Name this layer as &#8220;Rock 1&#8243;, add a layer mask to it and on the mask, use a soft round brush (20% hardness) to erase the edges of the rock:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5570" title="1 erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-erase-500x263.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, I erased a large portion of the texture and left only a fraction of it &#8211; the reason I did it is because initially it was hard to judge what portion of the texture would be suitable, and I could only experiment with it until I get the right piece.</p>
<p>Add a black and white adjustment layer onto this rock 1 layer:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-bw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5571" title="1 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>and you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-effect.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5572" title="1 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1-effect-500x247.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="247" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 2</h3>
<p>Now duplicate this Rock 1 layer twice (along with the black and white adjustment layer), name the duplicated layers as &#8220;rock 2&#8243; and &#8220;rock 3&#8243; respectively. Drag the duplicated layer around and position them to the left and right of the Rock 1 layer, as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-drag.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5573" title="2 drag" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-drag-500x276.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="276" /></a></p>
<p>Adjust the mask on those duplicated layer by using a soft eraser to remove the edges, especially the parts where each rock joins together:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-erase.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5574" title="2 erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2-erase-500x367.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="367" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 3</h3>
<p>Now we pretty much finished with the rock texture. Let&#8217;s add the tree image onto our canvas. Load the &#8220;Tree&#8221; stock image into Photoshop, cut out the tree and the grass texture using the following channel mask technique:</p>
<p>(you can use other method if you prefer, but I think channel mask here is the most effective one.)</p>
<p>On the background layer, click on the &#8220;Channel&#8221; tab on the layer palette, then click on the &#8220;Blur&#8221; channel (the reason is this channel provides the biggest contrast)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-channel.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5575" title="3 channel" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-channel.jpg" alt="" width="237" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate this Blue channel once, apply the following Levels adjustment to the duplicated channel:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-level.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5576" title="3 level" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-level.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="343" /></a></p>
<p>Use a black brush to fill the area:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-paint.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5577" title="3 paint" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-paint-500x665.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="665" /></a></p>
<p>Load the selection of this blue copy channel by going into Select &gt; Load selection, then apply the following options then click on &#8220;OK&#8221;:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-load-sel.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5578" title="3 load sel" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-load-sel.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="254" /></a></p>
<p>Copy and paste the selection onto our document, name the layer as &#8220;Tree Right&#8221;, resize it and position it as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-resize-tree1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5580" title="3 resize tree" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-resize-tree1-500x267.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="267" /></a></p>
<p>Erase the bottom part of the grass with a soft brush:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-erase.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5581" title="3 erase" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-erase-499x319.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>And the following two adjustment layers to this tree right layer: (make sure you tick the &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p>Black and white</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-bw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5582" title="3 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-cruves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5583" title="3 cruves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-cruves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Curves Mask</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-curve-mask.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5584" title="3 curve mask" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-curve-mask-500x265.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>and you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-effect.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5585" title="3 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-effect-499x329.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the Tree right layer once along with its adjustment layers (leave all adjustment layers as they are, apart from canceling the layer mask on the Curves adjustment layer). Name the duplicated layer as &#8220;tree left&#8221;, drag and resize this layer smaller, and position it as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-duptree.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5586" title="3 duptree" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3-duptree-500x168.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="168" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 4</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;Female Model&#8221; stock image into Photoshop, cut out the model and paste it into the centre of our canvas:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5587" title="4 paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-paste-500x260.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry if your selection is not perfect, it doesn&#8217;t really matter in this tutorial.</p>
<p>Name this layer as &#8220;Model Original&#8221;, duplicate it once and go to Filter &gt; Sharpen &gt; Sharpen Edge and apply this filter a few times on the duplicated layer:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-sharpen-edge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5588" title="4 sharpen edge" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-sharpen-edge-500x310.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="310" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see this sharpens all edges of the model &#8211; an effect may look horrible right now, but will add extra details as we go deeper into the tutorial.</p>
<p>Duplicate the original model layer once more and drag it above the previous sharpen edge layer, make this layer a clipping mask  to the sharpen edge layer (right-click the layer, then choose &#8220;create clipping mask&#8221;), reduce the layer opacity to 80%, you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-duplicate-ori.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5589" title="4 duplicate ori" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-duplicate-ori-500x337.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following image adjustment layers to it: (make sure you tick the &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5590" title="4 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Mask:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves-mask.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5591" title="4 curves mask" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-curves-mask-500x263.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>Levels</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-levels.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5592" title="4 levels" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-levels.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Black and White</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-bw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5593" title="4 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>On the Black and white adjustment layer, use a soft brush eraser to do a single click on the spot where the flower is: (this reveals the flowers, adding a bit of colour to the image)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-erase-following.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5594" title="4 erase following" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-erase-following.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the original model layer once more and drag it above all the adjustment layer, change the blending mode to &#8220;hard light&#8221; and opacity to 30%, you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-effect-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5595" title="4 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4-effect-2-499x288.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="288" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 5</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;Planet&#8221; image into Photoshop, cut out the planet and paste it onto our document. Name this layer as &#8220;planet&#8221;, resize and position it as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-paste-planet.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5596" title="5 paste planet" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-paste-planet-499x270.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>add the following image adjustment layer to the planet:</p>
<p>Black and White</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-bw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5597" title="5 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-curves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5598" title="5 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>We can also add some aura around the planet for more effect. To do this, load the selection of the planet layer (ctrl+left-click the thumbnail of the planet layer on the layer palette), apply the following refine edge option to it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-refine-edge.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5599" title="5 refine edge" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-refine-edge.jpg" alt="" width="328" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>Create a new layer called &#8220;aura&#8221; under the plaent layer, render some cloud in it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-cloud.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5600" title="5 cloud" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-cloud-499x334.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate this aura layer once, then use the Warp Tool (Ctrl + T then right-click choose warp) to manipulate it so it looks like dropping down from the planet:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-warp.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5601" title="5 warp" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/5-warp-500x323.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="323" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 6</h3>
<p>Load th &#8220;Sky&#8221; image into Photoshop, copy a portion of it and paste it onto our document, above all previous layers. Resize the layer and position it as shown below: (Erase the Edge with a soft eraser, if necessary)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-paste.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5602" title="6 paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-paste-500x262.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Add the following two adjustment layers to it:</p>
<p>Black and White</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-bw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5604" title="6 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-curves.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5603" title="6 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Optional: it would be good to add variety onto the image by applying more cloud texture. Make sure you black and white them as you add them in:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-cloud-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5605" title="6 cloud 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6-cloud-2-500x365.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="365" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 7</h3>
<p>Now we&#8217;re getting into an interest part of the tutorial. As you can see the image so far looks ok, but it lacks that surreal, dreamy sort of effect. So to enhance those effect, we can use cloud warping, especially on the area just above the ground, below the model.</p>
<p>To do this, create a new layer above the last duplicated Model layer, use the Lasso Tool with 50% feather to draw a selection on this layer, render some cloud in it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-render-cloud.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5606" title="7 render cloud" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-render-cloud-500x272.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>Then use the warp tool, manipulate the cloud as shown below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-warp-cloud.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5607" title="7 warp cloud" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-warp-cloud-500x273.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>You can them duplicate and re-size this cloud layer for more effect:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-effect.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5608" title="7 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-effect-500x206.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>I also added some abstract brush effect on the background, mixing it with the Warp Tool for more effect: (There are tons of brushsets on qbrushes.net, or brusheezy that will do the job)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-warp-abstract.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5609" title="7 warp abstract" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-warp-abstract-499x319.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>This is the overall effect so far:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-effect-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5610" title="7 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/7-effect-2-500x269.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="269" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 8</h3>
<p>We&#8217;re almost done! In the last fine-tuning step, I add the following Reduce Noise Filter to make the image smoother:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/8-reduce-no.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5611" title="8 reduce no" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/8-reduce-no.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="554" /></a></p>
<p>with the following layer mask:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/8-mask.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5612" title="8 mask" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/8-mask-500x263.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>and this is the final effect: (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bw-surreal-scene-flatten.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5613" title="bw-surreal-scene-flatten" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bw-surreal-scene-flatten-500x267.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="267" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for this tutorial! Hope you find it useful and learn something new!</p>
<p>Till next time, have a nice day!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I love space artworks - mainly because there is alway certain degree of mystery in them. After all, that's a place far beyond our reach and most of us will never get to experience the real space.

Photoshop, on the other hand, give us the freedom to put our imagination into some sort of "reality". By using Photoshop, we're able to transform our thoughts about how space would look into digital artworks. And also we can combine different types of space element into our design and create surreal, fantasy effect with them.

<p>I love space artworks &#8211; mainly because there is alway certain degree of mystery in them. After all, that&#8217;s a place far beyond our reach and most of us will never get to experience the real space.</p>
<p>Photoshop, on the other hand, give us the freedom to put our imagination into some sort of &#8220;reality&#8221;. By using Photoshop, we&#8217;re able to transform our thoughts about how space would look into digital artworks. And also we can combine different types of space element into our design and create surreal, fantasy effect with them.</p>

<p>Ok let&#8217;s get started!</p>
<p>To complete this tutorial, you will need to the following stocks:</p>
<p><a href="http://johnny-yong.deviantart.com/art/Matrix-108723633" target="_blank">Model</a></p>
<p><a href="http://fragile-stock.deviantart.com/art/Blue-Marble-Planet-69615536" target="_blank">Planet 1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://elanordh-stock.deviantart.com/art/Planet-01-97093763" target="_blank">Planet 2</a></p>
<p><a href="http://javierzhx.deviantart.com/art/Xtreme-Set-29955065" target="_blank">Abstract Brushset</a></p>
<h3>Step 1</h3>
<p>Create a new document sized 1400px * 800px (actually size doesn&#8217;t really matter here, you can try out other resolution if you like), fill the background layer with black color.</p>
<p>Load the &#8220;Model&#8221; stock image into Photoshop, use whatever method you perfer to cut the man out, and paste it onto our document:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4552" title="1 paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1-paste-500x277.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="277" /></p>
<blockquote><p>Hint: I used a combination of Lasso Tool (set tolerence to 7-10px) and Quick Selection Tool to cut him out.</p></blockquote>
<p>Name this layer as &#8220;model&#8221;, add the following two adjustment layer onto it: (tick the &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4553" title="1 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></p>
<p>Vibrance</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4554" title="1 vib" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1-vib.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></p>
<p>and you will have the following effect:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4555" title="1 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1-effect1-500x415.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="415" /></p>
<p>You can see now we increase the contrast a bit and reduce the colour saturation of the model. This way it&#8217;s easier to refine the color and add more effect onto it later on.</p>
<h3>Step 2</h3>
<p>Download a copy of this <a href="http://javierzhx.deviantart.com/art/Xtreme-Set-29955065" target="_blank">Abstract Brushset</a>, load it into photoshop, create a new layer on top the of all previous layers, use this brushset to paint over the model&#8217;s body.</p>
<blockquote><p>I can&#8217;t go into much detail about this painting step, however one important thing is to try out different brush blending mode &#8211; I used overlay, soft light, hard light, and Multiply). Also make sure you try out different opacity and flow settings as you go.</p>
<p>You can also try out Scale, Distort and Warp this paint layer to maximise its effect.</p></blockquote>
<p>You can find those settings on the top option bar:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4557" title="2 paint" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2-paint1-500x435.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="435" /></p>
<p>and here is the effect I have after the painting: (You can see I emphaise on the legs and arms)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4558" title="2 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2-effect2-500x358.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="358" /></p>
<h3>Step 3</h3>
<p>Create a new layer above the background layer, however below the &#8220;model&#8221; layer, use the same brushset and paint some abstract effect on the bottom.</p>
<p>If the effect doesn&#8217;t feel right,  try using the free tranform tool to scale, warp this layer:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4559" title="3 warp" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3-warp-500x296.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="296" /></p>
<p>also make sure you paint some shadow under the model to add more depth &#8211; to do this, simply create a new layer named &#8220;shadow&#8221; and paint over the area as show below, with a black brushset:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4560" title="3 shadow" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3-shadow-500x314.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="314" /></p>
<p>here is the effect I have so far:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4561" title="3 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3-effect3-500x393.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="393" /></p>
<h3>Step 4</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;planet 1&#8243; image into Photoshop, drag it onto our document and put it just below the &#8220;Model&#8221; layer, but above the &#8220;shadow&#8221; layer. Resize and position  it as shown below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4562" title="4 copy paste" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4-copy-paste-500x457.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="457" /></p>
<p>Name this layer as &#8220;model&#8221;, add the following two adjustment layer onto it:  (tick the &#8220;use previous layer as clipping mask&#8221; option)</p>
<p>Black and White</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4563" title="4 bw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4-bw.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4564" title="4 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4-curves.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></p>
<p>You will have the following effect:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4565" title="4 effect" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4-effect1-500x350.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="350" /></p>
<p>Optionally, you can make a duplication of the this planet layer and resize the duplicated layer to a smaller size, and position it as shown below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4566" title="4 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4-effect-2-500x379.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="379" /></p>
<h3>Step 5</h3>
<p>This is an optinal step. I personally like to add some abstract lines extending from the model&#8217;s arm :)</p>
<p>To do this, simply create a new layer below the model layer, then use the Pen Tool to draw a path as shown below on the newly created layer:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4574" title="5 path" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-path-500x485.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="485" /></p>
<p>Stroke the path with a 5px soft round brush with White color:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4575" title="5 stroke" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-stroke-500x305.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="305" /></p>
<p>and here is the effect after the stroke:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4576" title="5 draw" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-draw-500x434.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="434" /></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re happy with shape, you can duplicate this line layer a few times and adjust their position and size, as shown below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4578" title="5 effect 3" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-effect-3-500x335.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="335" /></p>
<h3>Step 6</h3>
<p>Load the &#8220;planet 2&#8243; image into Photoshop and drag it on our document. Resize and position the layer as shown below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4567" title="5 drag" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-drag-500x319.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="319" /></p>
<p>Name this layer as &#8220;planet 2&#8243; and duplicate it once, resize it as shown below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4577" title="5 resize" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-resize1-499x343.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="343" /></p>
<p>Desaturate and apply the following Gaussian Blur settings to the duplicated layer:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4569" title="5 gau blur" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-gau-blur.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="305" /></p>
<p>Reduce the layer opacity to around 90%, you will have the following effect:</p>
<p>Then add the following two adjustment layers to it:</p>
<p>Curves</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4571" title="5 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-curves1.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="318" /></p>
<p>Levels</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4572" title="5 levels" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-levels1.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="336" /></p>
<p>and you will have the following effect so far:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4573" title="5 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5-effect-21-500x348.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="348" /></p>
<h3>Step 7</h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s render the star field now :) To do this, go and add a new layer on top of all other layers and name it &#8220;star field&#8221;, then go to Filter &gt; Noise &gt; Add noise and apply the following settings:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4580" title="6 level" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/6-level.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="343" /></p>
<p>Apply the following Levels settings to this layer:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4581" title="7 add noise" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/7-add-noise.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="393" /></p>
<p>To reduce the density of the star a bit, we can apply the following Curves adjustments:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4582" title="7 curves" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/7-curves1.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="461" /></p>
<p>You should have the following effect so far:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4583" title="7 effect 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/7-effect-22-500x370.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="370" /></p>
<p>Change the blending mode of the layer to &#8220;Screen&#8221;, you should have the following effect:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4584" title="7 effect 3" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/7-effect-31-500x289.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="289" /></p>
<h3>Step 8</h3>
<p>To wrap up this design, we can add some color onto the image by adding some more layers (with &#8220;soft light&#8221; blending mode) on top of all layers, make sure to try out different color combinations.</p>
<p>Here are two versions I have for this tutorial:</p>
<p>Version 1</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4585" title="8 ver 1" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/8-ver-1-500x404.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="404" /></p>
<p>Version 2</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4586" title="8 version 2" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/8-version-2-499x351.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="351" /></p>
<p>I decided to go with version 2 and the final step I took is to apply a smart sharpen filter to the flattened image:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4587" title="8 smar" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/8-smar-500x317.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="317" /></p>
<p>and here is the final effect for this tutorial (click to enlarge):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/free-scene-flatten-2-final.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4588" title="free-scene-flatten-2-final" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/free-scene-flatten-2-final-500x285.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>Alternative Version with different color scheme (click to enlarge)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/free-scene-flatten-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4594" title="free-scene-flatten-3" src="http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/free-scene-flatten-3-500x285.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>Hope you enjoy this tutorial! Drop me a comment if you have any question, I will try my best to help you out!</p>

I personally quite enjoy those works because I feel the details of those work are simply amazing and you can just sense the huge amount of effect designers put into making them.

In this post, I will show you 20 absolutely stunning, probably the most beautiful Fractal artworks you will ever see, collected from deviantArt.com gallery. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do and find them inspirationl!]]></description>

I love the fact that space art always conveys a sense of mystery, and the endless boundary to be pushed and discovered. For me, those space artworks are also a source of inspiration, because they always help me when I'm lack of creativity and imagination.
