Bones Signature Tutorial

What you will need: Texture, Texture #2, Skulls, Gravestone, Picture of Brennan, Pocket Watch and Lastly Old Building

Today, We're going to be making:

I started off by adding my first layer which was the Texture like so:

Then I started to add my stocks (you can find them all above), Firstly I added my gravestone and set it to lighten and slightly erased the background with a large smooth eraser.

Then I add the old building getting it into the position I wanted and setting it to screen and 70% opacity

After that it was time for my skulls which again I set it to lighten at 100% opacity

Which then was followed by the clock at lighten and 80% opacity

Now you should have something similar to this:
Then I went on to add the picture of brennan getting it into the position that I wanted.

After that I went on to do some colouring, I started off going to Layers > New adjustment layers > Hue/Saturation and then set it to saturation +20

Then onto selective colouring, Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layers > Selective color:
Red: Cyan +100
Magenta +38
Yellow +15
Black 0
Cyans: Cyan +23
Magenta +49
Yellow +55
Black +30
Magentas: Cyan +50
Magenta +18
Yellow 0
Black 0
Whites: Cyan -100
Magenta 0
Yellow 0
Black 0
Neutrals Cyan -20
Magenta +5
Yellow +8
Black +10

I then moved onto Photo Filter, Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layers > Photo Filter

Photo Filter: Cooling Filter 82, Density 25%

Again I then moved onto Curves, I really hope these work out the way they should for you as I have never used them in a tutorial before but here it goes, Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layers > Curves

Curves: RGB: Input: 79 Output: 118
Red: Input: 137 Output: 127
Green: Input: 88 Output: 102
Blue: Input: 78 Output: 79
Then went on to add another texture which is texture #2 at the top of the page, Set it to Linear Burn at 70% opacity.

Now you should have something along the lines of this:

OK and now for some text, For the "I don't know what that means" I used the font times new roman at size 14pt, I then duplicated the text went to filter > Blur > Motion Blur and set my distance to 16.

For the text "Bones", I used the font called Alison at size 48pt,I then moved that text down to go underneath the last texture I added, I then added a gradient layer in grey and white.

To the same text, I then added a satin layer, then an outer glow in a dark green colour, Changing the blend mode to normal and setting the opacity to 25% and then I added a bevel and emboss at size 5px, opacity 75%, Style Inner Bevel and Technique set to smooth.

then TA-DAH! End of tutorial, If you managed all that then well done! I hope to see some of your work!
