Filter : VDL Adrenaline

Drop Shadow = DS = 2,2,50,5 black

Let's begin

900 X 900

1.) Tube - (resize = R -  if needed ) Copy and Paste = C&P as New Raster Layer = NRL - and place on the bottom of tag - (we're going to work around the tube ) DS

2.) EL 11 - C&P as NRL - Place on top right corner-- DS

3.) EL 12 - C&P as NRL - place on the bottom of your moon, making it look like it's hanging off...DS

4.) EL 14 - C&P as NRL - place on upper left and move layer to above bottom - DS

5.) EL10--R= 70% - Unsharp Mask = USM -C&P as NRL - place on bottom right corner - DS

6.) EL 21 - C&P as NRL - free rotate left 90% - Place on bottom of tag - DS & Tag reference = TR

7.) EL 23 - R = 70% - USM -C&P as NRL - place on top left - free rotate left 25% - DS - Duplicate - mirror- move this to other side of star- duplicate and flip - move layer below tube- duplicate #2 - mirror - make sure bottom 2 are under the tube, and above the star - TR - merge them all together -

8.) EL 24 - R= 70% & 80% - USM --C&P as NRL - Place on left side - move layer below frame (NO DS) - TR

9.) EL 25 - R = 60% & 80% - USM -C&P as NRL -  place it above the tree on right side - DS

10.) EL 29 - -C&P as NRL - Place on right side bottom- DS - Move layer below tube - TR

11.) EL 33 - -C&P as NRL -  Place on left side - DS - move layer below tube layer - TR

12.) EL 34 -  -C&P as NRL - place on right top - move layer below tree layer - DS & TR

13.) EL 36 - R = 60% - USM - -C&P as NRL -- place  on top left - move layer below star - (NO DS) Erase any over hanging (for animation)

14.) EL 4 --C&P as NRL -place behind sign - DS & TR

15.) EL 45 - R = 40% USM - -C&P as NRL - place on left side bottom - DS & TR

16.) EL 5 - -C&P as NRL - place in front of sign - DS & TR

17.) Close out all layers above sky- and close off bottom layer -  You should have - leaves, star, snowman and tree -  with freehand selection tool - Point to point -  add shift - feather 0 - smoothing 0 -  go around the star- Examples 1,2,3

18.) Go around star and on bottom layer add NRL-

with flood fill tool- add this color - 93aaca ( rename this background ) Duplicate 3 X's = 4 - select none- close out all layers from leaves to bottom

19.) With all layers above - open then Merge Visible --rename Top

20.) Add Copy right info (If you don't want to animate- merge visible all layers, R= 56% = 504 X 504-sharpen - add name and save as PNG )

Let's animate

21.) Close top and open Leaves, star, snowman and tree - Merge Visible and rename it Star- R = 56% - 504 X 504 - sharpen

A.) rename star background 1,2,3,4- with freehand selection tool - same setting as before - go around star again this time keep it selected.. make sure star background 2,3, & 4 are closed.. working on Star background (St.bkg) 1 - go to VDL Adrenaline - snowflakes - Ex.4 - Amt. 100 - size range - Beg.=7, end = 22 - hardness = 80 - Transparency = 20 - basic snow - random seed - 0

close St.bkg 1 open #2 - random seed = 20 , close #2 open #3 - random seed =40 - close #3 - open #4 - Random seed = 60 , Select none....

close #' s 2-

Open Animation Shop

on #1 - copy merged - in AS -paste as new animation

PSP - close #1, open #2 - in AS - paste after current frame - repeat for #3 and #4 - when done, go to 1st frame - edit- animation properties - opaque = white

and then frame properties - 35 -for all frames

save as GIF after you add your name.

Thank you for following me.. I really would like to see any creations.

I wrote this Tutorial any resemblance to others is purely a Coincidence.  Please do NOT add this to any Website, Forum or Group without my Permission..

This awesome Goth kit called "Pastel Goth" is by Kandii Popz and you can find her kits Here

The tube is by Igolochka and can be found on her deviantart site Here

Drop Shadow = DS = 2,2,50,5 black

Let's begin

900 X 900

1.) Resize = R- (Tube -if needed) - Copy and Paste = C&P - as a New Raster Layer = NRL = place in Center of  canvas.

 Duplicate = dup. - tube - Gaussian blur-6- Blend mode = soft light - opacity = 100 - merge down =MD - rename tube - Tag Reference = TR - DS

2.) Bow 2 - R = 80% - sharpen - C&P as a NRL- place bottom left of tube - free rotate - left -25 - DS & TR

3.) Heart Blade - R= 65% - Unsharp Mask = USM - C&P as a NRL - place on top left side - free rotate right 25 - DS & TR

4.) Boots - R = 65% - USM - C&P as a NRL - mirror - place on right side bottom - DS & TR

5.) Bones - C&P as a NRL - move layer on top of tube...DS

6.) Chain Fence - C&P as a NRL - place on top of bottom layer - move slightly left and a little lower - TR - NO DS

7.) Candle - C&P as a NRL - place bottom left - DS - TR

8.) Chocker - R= 50% USM - C&P as a NRL - place on top of boots - free rotate Left 20 - DS & TR

9.) Eyeball N Bones - R=80% - USM -C&P as a NRL - Place right side of tube and move it below the tube layer - DS & TR

10.) Drips - C&P as a NRL - rename - Drips 1 - Move to top left - TR - NO DS ( will animate this later)

11.) Cupcake - R = 70% & 80% - USM - C&P as a NRL - place on bottom , next to boots - DS - Dup. and mirror - TR &  MD

12.) Glitter - C&P as a NRL - place below chain layer - move up a little -- NO DS - TR

13.) Glitter Bits - C&P as a NRL - move to right side of tag - move layer right below tube layer- TR - NO DS

14.) Skull Hand - C&P as a NRL - Place on top chain fence - move layer to right above chain- DS & TR

15.) Kitty - R = 60% - USM - C&P as a NRL -Place on center bottom between the cupcakes - DS & TR

16.) Skull 1 - rename layer - (in case you animate) - R  = 60% USM -C&P as a NRL- Place on top center - DS & TR

17.) Resize all layers 56% = 504 X 504

18.) Paper 14 - C&P as a NRL - place on bottom layer - add mask - delete mask - and ungroup layers -

19.) Keeping bottom layer closed, close out all layers above the tube layer - now with tube layer and all the ones below -  Merge Visible - rename tube

20.) Open all the other layers- keeping Skull 1, the Drips 1 , and bottom layer closed. Now close tube.

  Merge Visible and rename top

21.) Now you should have Skull 1, Drips1, Tube and bottom

22.) Now add all Copy right info and your name if your not going to animate, go ahead and merge all visible.. save as PNG.

If your going to animate follow me.

Duplicate Drips 1 , 5X's = 6

rename them 1-6

close all layers but 1 & 2, move layer 2 down, keeping it aligned with #1.. do this for all 6 layers...when happy close them all but 1

Open Animation shop

here is where we get tricky, so follow if you can....Good Luck, I was confused too...lol

Copy merged and paste= CMP into Animation Shop = AS

Opacity = OP

1 -- CMP into AS as New animation = Op =100

2 --==OP=100 / #1 = 80 /CMP after current frame

3 --== OP= 100 / #2 = 80 / #1 =60 / CMP after current frame

4 --==OP = 100/ #3 = 80 / #2 = 60

/#1 = 40 / CMP after current frame

5 --== OP = 100 / #4 = 80 / #3 = 60 / #2 = 40 / #1 = 20 / CMP after current frame

6--==OP = 100 / #5 = 80 / #4 = 60 / #3 = 40 / #2 = 20 / #1 = 0 /CMP after current frame

when your done you will need to click on 1st frame and edit all, then frame properties = 45

go to animation properties and choose - opaque - white.

when your happy add name and save as GIF..

example below, I hope you understood this, I would really like to see your results, just email them to me..
