Is there a tutorial here to show how to make an image look like this ryu below? The goal here is for me to learn this and do my own hyper portraits. and no im not doing a Hi res mugen char so hopefully any tip works the same way...




Thanks

desaturate, and either add a blue filled layer and and set the layer into color, or playaround with channel, or use variation. and then blur effect, copy the picture into another layer, and apply radial blur, reduce the layer opacity and combine with the other layer (non blurred picture)

or
just read pots high res tutorial which is basically the same as making a hyper portrait.

this is as far as i got testing and prepping for a Melty Blood Hyper effect. How can i make that background invisible in Photoshop?

This is only a test while i was figuring out how to use radiant effect. The actual pic will be a Terry bogard tho.

I was wondering if this here is too much blur?

and is it good that size or Bigger?











Also I noticed when i matched it up with this Geese howard hyper prepping it didnt register looking like this. it shows but when u click transparency the whole pic turns invisible.



Unlike the geese one you see above. His just stays as is. So im pretty sure i formatted the BG uproperly


what do i do to fix that? remember im still fresh learning photoshop so dont beat on a dude haha :sugoi:

how about erasing some part of the blur layer that should look crisp like his face, particularly his eye.
use your feeling to mix which part should be blurred and which part should be cearly visible.

then join both layer (or group them into a folder in the layer panel) use magic wand on the empty area surounding the pic (make sure to uncheck the antialiasing), then use select inverse, now create a new layer pick paintbucket, fill in the area with pure black.
bring/ drag the black silhouette layer under the layer with picture, now you have the black outlining.

aH! groovey. Ill try all this!...and yeh i just thought of cutting around the eyes also ;).
oh and how can i make the whole pic like maybe a "Red" Tint? instead of "Blue like that ryu you see above"? im sorta test different ways n such since its my first time stabbing at this...

In the end im trying to get em to sorta look like this to a degree hows its all blue



thanks again. in the meantime i will testing the tips now


Legendary DeMoNk@I

Ah ok thanks man this slipped my mind on that color tutorial. Thanks! 8)

Legendary DeMoNk@I

OK i left my pc on while i stepped out for a while. But a while ago i made this here. i started back from the top.


Made it grayscale. i stopped at the part where pots says "Take it off grey scale". didnt know what to click to take it off. so i left for a bit. What do i click on besides grayscale being off?. anyway so since im ready to take it off grayscale. how can i go about doing that now?...





its a noob ass question but oh well (lol). im ready to give it some color now..


Legendary DeMoNk@I

OK!..whew..argh --;

is this how its supposed to look in the end???


Geez anybody including pots let me know if i passed or Failed

like I said don't give it all blur, the center of the image is better left non blurry, it makes me dizzy a little starring at the harsh blue color, and a bright white parts on a blurry subject.

kakkoii superhero

that's why copy the un blurred pic first into another layer, then fter you blur the other layer, either using soft edged eraser, or with quick masking the layer, you can erase parts of the blurred layer, so the non blurred picture underneath is visible.
