v.9

Render

Been working on this for about 40 minutes, about halfway done
Based on Dr. Vegas his Glow Pack release. Really like the style, wanted to try and copy it.

To do:
-MOAR GLOWW
-Lighting
-Burn/Dodge
-Sharpen/Blur
-...whatelse?

Fix:
-Messy left side.
-Left hairs too bright.
-Empty left of render

@Dr. Vegas How did you make the curve shaped glows? I tried pentooling/brushing, but both give bad results.

Suggest what this sig needs to be 100% done.
Feel free to comment.

it actually is pentooling
just make a curve
stroke path with pressure on and
color overlay some color on top of it then change the blending mode

select brush tool. set it to 1px hard brush. go to brush settings and turn on shape dynamics. make sure size jitter is 0% and control is set to pen pressure. The select your pen tool. Creat a simple curve, then go to paths, right click your path and click on stroke path. In the dialog box that appears make sure its set to brush and simulate pressure is turned on. then click ok. Then open up one of my psd's find the layer with the glowing curves on it, right click on the layer, copy layer style and paste it onto yours. Then just go into blending properties and play around with it.

And I honestly do not care if you layer rip from me. As long as your end result is different I'm happy. So if you feel that I have a nice layer, and you're having trouble recreating it, then just copy the layer.

The green things on the render ruin it. My opinion.

Where exactly? The green dots or the green stripes on the skirt?

Edit v2:
Added some glow, depth. Finally got the hang of the curved pentool glows (thanks!). Didn't use it much in this sig, 'cause it was hard to find good spots for it, but I guess it works best on the edges of c4d's (so I'll definitely will keep that in mind).

Left side still messy, probably even worse. I'd usually make the sides fade to dark, but that's where most of my glows are...

See the hair, and the thing close to her skirt (looks like a disco , I think its the C4D).

You kind of got the main idea of the pentool lines
It looks like its own thing not really like the sparklie style if you were going for that then you need to add like 23 more dots

Yea but that's how I roll: pick up a few techniques here and there and then mash them up into my own style
