Dark Fantasy Art Photoshop tutorial – Fairy &amp;amp;amp; Sunset Landscap

Posted by Lorelei in Tutorials on 01 10th, 2009 | 121 responses

Dark Fantasy Art tutorial called “Sleeping Sun” by Lorelei (me!) was originally posted on www.loreleiweb.com The tutorial remains a copyright property of Lorelei © 2009. however, now it has moved to PSwish.com due to technical / server reasons. We invite all our LoreleiWeb community to subsribe to our feed and make sure you don’t miss any tutorial written by your favourite authors.

Despite been classed as fantasy art, this is a mere photomanipulation – make a fairy and your own mystic scenery; creating a landscape from scrap is now possible! I was inspired by the huge success of my previous fantasy art tut, which I posted in this forum last week… I got quite a few emails thanking me for it and many PS blogs featured it, so I decided to give in to repeated requests from millions of loving fans and do one more fantasy / scenery tut…

This is basically a mix of whats we call “fantasy art” and “dark/ gothic art”

I want to mention in advance that this tutorial is mostly for more experienced users, here we will need to use a lot of “hand work” and common sense; you will be working with your own images, and would need to adjust to the “needs” of your landscape.

So, lets get started… make a new canvas – 600* 400.
Fill your background layer with any dark colour, we chose to do it with blue, but you can use black as well.

Take a picture of a girl… we used this one, from Liam Stock, free photo resource.. ( http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39058232/ <– Full resolution image)
This would depend on the image you use, but try to crop the figure accurately and remove the background.

Select the cropped girl from your canvas, and paste it unto the blue fantasy canvas we will create.
Place her in the middle, not to close to the edge, as she will be our leitmotif.

Next step, you will need different photos in order to combine a landscape.
First off, a photo of a shore. We took a pic offered free by ~gladly.

Press ctrl + a to select the entire water scape, Ctrl + c to copy it, and then , when you go to the fantasy canvas – press Ctrl + V to paste it.

Be sure to place the water scape layer UNDER the layer with the girl. This is important, we placed the girl first in order to be able to see what proportion are we creating with the landscape, however, remember, that she shall always be the top later.

Using the Eraser tool, with soft edge, 40 or 50 px size, draw a line (horizon), which will he around the level of the main figure’s eyes. This is ideally, but if you use a taller person, or not a sitting figure, of course you can draw the horizon wherever you wish.
In order to make sure that your line is straight, press the Shift button while pressing the mouth, this way, even if your hand will hove, the line will remain straight.

Now we need sky. Don’t look for any spy picture, because we mostly need a horizon line (with mountains, or just a stroke of land) rather than mere clouds.
The hue of the picture is not important, all you need is a cloudy interface with a bit of land to symbolize the horizon.

Paste your clouds photo unto the fantasy canvas, UNDER the water scape layer.
The horizon line of the water has to be a little darker, so u can go back to the background later (blue canvas) and brush it with black or a darker blue hue.

watch edtv in divx Create a new layer.
Select a Round Brush with a sharp edge (do not use a soft edge here!) and Make a stamp near the figure, as shown on the picture below.

Set the opacity of the layer to “soft”, to make it semi transparent. Using the eraser tool with a sharp edge, remove all the remains, so that it will look as if this sun (or moon, if u wish) will create the illusion or setting behind the hills / land line of the horizon.
See the illustration for understand it better, and once you have finished erasing, don’t forget to set the blending options back to normal

Go to Layer >>Layer Styles >> Blending options, and apply these settings for the outer glow effect. Don’t skip this step, this is necessary to make an effect of shine and glow.

Select the water scape layer.
Go to Filter >> Renders >> Lightening Effect.

Make a light spot, exactly on the place where the sun is… this will lit the water in front of the setting sun.

This is what we got so far, beautiful water with a local lightening.

divx fair game

Select the layer with the cropped girl (main figure) and apply same spot lightening effect.
Its important to use same location for the spot, as we only have one sun here!

Set the blending options of the layer with the girl to “Luminosity”, in order to give her same hue as the layers underneath her.

After the recent few steps, you canvas should look like this… If anything looks different – don’t worry, in the end you might get even a better result than the example in this tut.

Now, we are going to need wings to add to our girl and turn her into a fallen fairy.
I’d recommend to use Photoshop brushes in a shape of wings, and not to crop wings from other photos, as we need high quality transparent wings.
For this very tutorial, i used wings brushes downloaded free from Deviant art – http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11925788/

Once you have installed the brushes, make a new layer (don’t for get) which will be placed BELOW the girl, and ABOVE water scape layer and the sky.

Use a size that will suit the size of your figure and canvas.We used wing brushes 185px, but this is individual.

Make one stamp for a right wing, and one for the left.
Since our figure is not sitting straight, we made separate layers for each wing and after applying the second one, we pressed Ctrl + T to transform the layer freely, and rotated it a bit, as shown on the pic below

This is our result so far…

Now, Flatten the Image. (Don’t skip it!)

Go to Image >> Adjustments >> Levels
and set these parameters for the BLUE channel

And these parameters for RED channels. We are looking to create a mysterious atmosphere with dark yet not dull colours, therefore colorizing the entire canvas will not look good.

Now your canvas has a nice, blue-green hue…

Apply omni spot light once again, same position as before (center spot in the center of the sun), using light blue colour.

that is it, ur canvas is ready…

Very nice, good job. I’m going to try this when I have time.
providence Says:

thanks, i’ll try this later

more fantasy art tutorials pls
EXilm Says:

I agree providence. Keep em coming
thagrimiestone Says:

wow thank you very much, i love these kind of tutorials, stuff like this is what makes people (think) about there designs and do there own creative work, thank you again
mystika_d Says:

this was very nice.
i gave it a tried, but
my pictures didn’t
turn out as nice.

love the tut though
EXilm Says:

@mystika_d
Same here, but I didn’t really find any good pictures to work with.
I’ll get back to this later when I’ve found some pictures.

i ended up with this

it looks different im not sure what i did wrong

Heres my go at it…
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c271/ThaGrimiestOne/WheretheMoonRises.png
mystika_d Says:

wow! I love that picture
and the added shadow
thagrimiestone Says:

^^Thank you very much to both of you

Ya i dont like “copying” tutorials exactly, i just pretty much read it over a few times, then close the page…and try to do my own design of it and see what happens… and thats what i came up with…

P.S. Thank you for the compliment to about the shadow, i thought it brought out the “realness” of the picture alot better
providence Says:

considering that there’s only 2 of us who posted our work, you’re then referring to me. Well moderator, if you are moderating you’ll see that I copy the work first to see if I can do it, then I post my own work later. If you check the previous Fantasy Art tutorial. Considering I did this at 2am, I didnt have time to do my own. so yeah.
thagrimiestone Says:

providence, if you read what he said , he said its the most original “So far”, which means there will probably be alot more designs and probably even better ones shown…so ya.. i wouldnt take offense to it, he didnt mean nethign bad buy it towards you or neone else…

Good luck with the next project you plan on doing
ocean_cruiser Says:

Providence,
Let me apologize on moderators behalf, i dont think it was ment in that way, only the words sometimes look kinda harsh….
It was for sure not a reference to your work, which looks good also…and I think Lorelei will agree with me on that.
PanDa Says:

Yeah it’s v.good, but isn’t the shadow at the wrong side? The light is coming from the distance and the shadow is in the opposite side to where it should be? V.creative design just wondered if it’s only me that thinks that
thagrimiestone Says:

hmm, well i guess it could depend on the way you look at it…the sun could be really in straight but the angle of the picture it showing it from the side….or…and sun could be higher or lower also, making the shadow angle in many different ways though, lol…

i dk, i personally thought it looked cool right there..

thank you for the interest about it though, but ya, definitely just depends on the way you look at it…as you see, i never go buy what the eyes can see…

i like to “manipualte it” even more…so that sun could be anywhere in the pic, but looking at in a different angle would make the shadow also seem in a different place..

sry if i confused u, i just think differently than most people lol..
PanDa Says:

Lol i wasn’t slating it as it’s better than what i can do i just thought i’d got the physics wrong, i’m attempting one now but can’t find good enough sources
smiffy Says:

Since I enjoyed the other tutorial so much, I had to try this one out too.

Not quite to the same standard as the tut but I’m pleased with the end result.
Lasher Says:

Good evening, people. I just registered because I’m in theprocess of self-learning some Photoshop and I liked this page very much. I hope to learn a bit hehe.
So, first try at tut! the result is here http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a10…Fairy-Moon.jpg
(I didnt want to post the full sized one here in case it was too heavy, instead I linked to it)
So, see you all around.

ocean_cruiser Says:

MadMike from constanta (your sure it isnt constantza??…. )

Great outcome…well i do have a comment on the right wing.
I would place the girl a bit more to the left so that the wing is shown a bit better,but besides that great work!!!

ps..if constantza…rumania…black sea…where you have to pay to get on the beach (at least that was 10 years ago)…
NightHawk Says:

thanks guys i tryed hehe and this forum is really cool im glad i found it

That’s a really cool tut. I love the lighting effects, they’re haunting, and just from what was a simple white circle. Nice!
d4nwh1t3 Says:

Hi everyone i am just starting out with Photoshop and thought i would try out this TUT!

Heres my attempt!

thagrimiestone Says:

Props to nighthawk and Gvinpins, your results are FANTASTIC….. everyone elses I also saw are really great also…

But im my humble opinion, gvinpins has the most creativity out of all these, i like it alot,
Odette Says:

Hi!

Here’s what I came up with, it’s not exactly the same because I wasn’t happy with the way it turned out. Basically the background landscape image had too many colours and it looked funny when I set the girl’s layer to luminosity.

I think it turned out ok.

Please any suggestions would be welcome. I’m very open to positive criticism. ^_^

Another great tutorial Lorelei I must say you have a talent for capturing ideas, I will try this one also see if my daughter will like herself like this
PANIC! at the disco Says:

Hi! I’m the newest member as of now This is what I came up with.. (that’s actually me, hehe) I really enjoyed this tutorial and I like what everyone came up with. I wasn’t able to download the brush so I just cropped wings from the internet. I hope it looks good!
http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/2172/fallenangelrc5.jpg
mystika_d Says:

i have a question:

how do you make the wings not transparent? I mean it looks good see through, but i want to make it look more solid…
El_Puerto Says:

pls pls pls help me. how do i erase the background of a cropped pic? i thought i did exactly what the tutorial says. crop the picture (i’m using different pic) erase the background. but it would’t erase anything. i tried to paste the cropped picture unto the new canvas created, but the erased area is white. it is now 11:35 here. and i’m just about blind. i’m going to bed, hopefully tomorrow i get a response from any good samaritan. i would really appreciate any help. i was successful on the other tutorial.
CyberGoat Says:

Mines not so good as pics of all of u but i only read tut and then close it….thats my artistic variation about fantasy tut

http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ooxl6.jpg

My mistakes i made:

-croped poorly
-didnt give wings…i just dont like angels
-took bad pictures…
-I made enemy in my girlfriend person

Im using PS from 2 hours.

thanks!!!
DemoniWaari Says:

This was so great tut, that I had to register!

My try:
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/DemoniWaari/Wingedwoman.jpg

I played with the levels so it aint so… blue?
ocean_cruiser Says:

DemoniWaari,
I really like your outcome….only one little point of critic: Looks like you have done something or maybe forget something with the head of the girl….dunno, in my eyes it looks different then the rest of the image…..

But besides that little point (my personal opinion)…good job!!….hope you will share more with us!!
DemoniWaari Says:

Hmm, maybe I did Though I dont remember doing anything special :/
Lorelei Says:

DemoniWaari, it’s very original, i like the idea of girl with the wings holding a sword and the sun behind her… my only comment is that the image is bright. i mean real bright… aint it? maybe i have a too bright screen though..

My first try at a tut here, I liked it very much…
jking Says:

this tutorial was great! heres my attempt at creating something similiar, using a picture of myself though. i think it came out alright, i might be able to blend myself in a little better but thats another time., (also the shoreline could be better but this was the best picture i could find, otherwise the waters horizon would be further off)

heres a lighter and darker version

Looks great, Pepekun. The colours in the second picture are milder, like it more. Well done and keep it up!
Conquest Says:

Hmm, dunno if the code’ll work…Well, fifth pic in photoshop. Turned out ok. I added a glow to the wings because they seemed too transparent.

ocean_cruiser Says:

Great result (to me) Conquest…keep them coming!!!
Cinnamon Says:

Great tut as usual Lorelei

Wow mine does not even begin to look half as good as everyone else’s. You all are so very talented. Well here is my stab at it. My question is that everytime I try to resize a photo sometimes the pixels look hazy, how can I prevent this. Do you see how it happened to the water portion.

Devilsh Says:

First of all Lorelei u’r great! Saw this tutorial on a homepage, and decided to join this world.

Im a newb I made one of thus images too, but the part with the sun went wrong in somehow!
Lorelei Says:

Hi Devilsh, thanks for your complement!! I absolutely love your image, it has this mysterious fog effect that no one made so far! i wouldnt say that the sun is wrong, apart from been not lit… when u applied the light spot, was it exactly on the sun, or has it gone on the waves, near the girl? (because it looks like it did). seems to me the light spot is on her left wing, not the sun…
Deptul Says:

What are you think about this:
http://images1.fotosik.pl/302/be1aea2aa0172106med.jpg
Duds88 Says:

I had a go too, lol. I enjoyed doing this one. Going to fid somewhere to use it.
The symbol in the moon is a Valknut/valknot the symbol of the slain who gave their lives to Odin in Norse mythology. The girl holds a Viking sword, and with her wings resembles a Valkyrie.

Valkyries swooped down on the battle field and took the Einherjar, or fallen warriors, (only some, the bravest, were chosen) and carried them off to Valhalla, the Norse heaven.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Lurnas Says:

Duplicate the layer with the girl and put it under the original girl, now create a motion blur with settings of you choice in the girls center(!)
At last reduce the occapacity (right this way? ^^) of the new layer.

Lorelei Says:

Sylvesterin, you have incredible colors in your composition, its sooo neatly done, i absolutely love it. may i ask what clouds did u use and what seashore? jeee, how did u achieve such a colours scheme?

sexyposh, glad u liked the tut and thanks for sharing ur result! i like what u did tho i think u should crop the images more carefully, on pars like hair u can always go over the edge with eraser tool with soft edge to avoid pixelated edges…
tammsyshere Says:

Here’s a darker version, using a black/white gradient, invert layer and three different photo filters. I love the outcome:

Hi all….well I signed up about 10 hours ago and then took my whirl at this fabulous tutorial. I had bookmarked it about a week ago but needed some practice before diving into this one. I played around for awhile and below is my final version. Thanks so much for the instructions; the tut has inspired my mind with further visions…great, I’m already a black belt in insomnia. :big: Hahaha! Wishing you all the best,
