Sprite Signature

You'll need to have some experience of photoshop to follow this tutorial.
You will probably get a complete different outcome than me.
In this tutorial it's much "add this, add that", but hopefully you'll get the idea.
Final Outcome:
image


Start off with making a new document. Add an orange and yellow gradient.
image


Take a nice sprite and paste it into your document.
image


Then add something like I do if you look down. I used some liquified pen tool things I made in Illustrator.
image


Then uncheck that layer. Make a new layer and apply image. Then ckeck that layer with that pentooling again. After that you go to layer - create clipping mask. Move around that applied image til it looks good.
image


Now make a new layer and apply image. Then go to filter - distort - displace and choose one of your old psd's. Move this layer to the bottom but infront of the gradient.
image


Add some pentool lines behind the sprite and do that same thing as above.
image


Do that same thing again.
image


Duplicate that sprite and smudge it some. Set that layer to hue.
image


Add some lines and do the same as we did with that liquified pentooling.
image


Make a new layer and apply image, then take the smudge tool and smudge some. set this layer to lighten.
image


Add some random lines and things.

Then add something like I do if you look down. I used some liquified pen tool things I made. Then uncheck that layer. Make a new layer and apply image.
