Hi Andrei,
i don’t see the images in the steps
hey there. thanks for the tutorial but i think it’s incomplete i don’t see the images you refers in the steps, for example when you say ” as shown in image 2″ or 7 or 3a,etc
can you fix it or tell me why i can’t see them.?
Thanks again!
Pain is when you have this same stock model and you’ve started a piece with her and you decide, “Hey! I want to use fire in this!” and then you stumble across this website (followed from Youtube) to find the very picture you had thought of in your mind has already been done… and done a crapload better than you could possible do it.
NOT. FAIR.
LOL
ok i signed up for a premium account and dont see a difference, where are the instructions for this tutorial?
Hola Andrei, que tal el nuevo iMac , ya lo tienes?. Respecto a este tutorial tengo muchas dudas. Podrias hacer el video del mismo y si fuera en español ya muchisimo mejor. Se tocan muchas herramientas interesantes que estaria muy bien comprender su funcionamiento. Si no quieres hacer el tutorial entero, estaria bien saber o ver como se puede extraer correctamente a la modelo del fondo y como crear la mascara desde ese recorte para. Luego poder usarla para hacer el halo de luz. No se… Tengo muchas dudas y espero que con un video tuyo se resuelvan. Un saludo y muchas gracias.
Un premium …

Have a great xmas !!
This work is amazing, thumbs up!
I love graphics and great artworks, and photoshop has been able to help me do so much,
but theres this question that keeps bugging me, how are these brushes and effects
(been downloaded for use in photoshop) created! is there a special software that pros
use in creating wisps, particles, and “whatnot”, Any one who has an answer should let me know.
Hi Justen, to create a brush you can paint on an empty layer or even make a selection of something specific, then go to Edit > Define brush preset, name your brush and that’s it you can use it as any other brush. I hope I helped
Hi, Andrei!
I’d like to echo the idea suggested by Ams that you might consider making a compilation DVD, and maybe also consider adding the ability to accept Visa or MasterCard.
This tutorial looks to be one of your best, but sadly there’s no video to accompany it – perhaps you’d consider doing a video for this one? I particularly enjoy the more ‘fantasy’ feel here, maybe you’ve do some more in this style.
Anyway, have a great Christmas my friend, and keep up the good work.
Amazing work! Well done… You should consider creating a compilations tutorial DVD! Look forward to your new tutorials

Man, I wish I could afford a premium membership!
Why there’s more options for memberships?
I guess one year is a long time , it could have others options 3 months, 6 months and one year.
I wish I had membership more not for long.
