Kakashi Newsprint Tutorial

Welcome to my second tutorial on the graphix blog site.
Recources:
Render

Step 1. Okay, start out by opening up a new white image. I am using 360x120. Open as layer's your render and duplicate the layer 4 times. Now on each layer except the top one use the vines brush with 1.0 spacing setting (you can change rate setting if you would like) to smudge the layer. You should have something like this.

Step 2.
We are going to hide our render layer now, and copy visible/paste in new layer.

Step 3.
Now on the copy visible layer we are going to iwarp it, and set the layer mode to lighten only. Erase where it looks ugly/bad.

Step 4.
Now copy visible and paste in new layer again. Run the dilate filter, and then run the newsprint filter. Set to lighten only at 12% opacity.

Step 5.
Copy visible and paste in a new layer. Now run an oilify filter with the exponent map being the newsprint layer. Set exponent to 20. Leave other settings on defualt. Set the layer mode to darken only.

Step 6.
Copy visible and paste into new layer again (sorry bout that) and run an apply canvis filter with settings on 1. Layer mode to lighten only at 90% opacity.

Step 7.
Yes. You predicted right, copy visible and paste in new layer. Now displace the x displacement by your newsprint layer, and the y displacement by your newest copy visible layer. Run the displacement on smear. Layer mode to lighten only 70% opacity.

Step 8.
Copy visible/paste in new layer, run the unsharp mask filter on it. Default settings. Now set the layer mode to hue at 75%.

Step 9.
Make a new layer and draw some vines using the vines brush like this:

Step 10.
Now displace them by the newsprint layer, and set the layer mode to difference at 13% opacity.


Well thats enough for the background, let's start part 2.

Step 11.
Unhide your render. Now sharpen it by 15. You should have this.


Step 12.
Duplicate your render layer, and run the laplace filter, set on overlay to 20%.


Step 13.
On a new layer, color in some black dots. Like this:


Step 14.
Hide this layer, copy visible and paste in new layer, and then displace it by the circles layer.


Step 15.
Repeat step 13 like this:


Step 16.
Now do a clip masking with this layer by, going to layer transparency, alpha to selection, and then select invert, hide the layer, make a copy visible layer, and cut that. Now move it around. Like this:


Step 17.
Now just add a border and you are done.
