Did you try asking the guy who made it? That would be your best bet.

What texture? It just looks like a bunch of layers screened over a dark aqua background. One with Samus, one with some random text, KAKAROTTO in big letters, a URL, and then a bunch of lines.

So basically you mean this:


The PSD file

The PSD file

The PSD file


If you do, then you're really new to this, aren't you?

It's basic Photoshop stuff. Just paste an image as a new layer, add a layer mask, pull out the gradient tool, set the tool options to multiply, and apply some gradients to the layer mask so it blends nicely. The layer mask is just a grayscale layer that corresponds with a layer, where the blacker each pixel is on the layer mask, the more transparent the pixel is in the layer.

If you want the image to pick up its color from the layers beneath it, set the blending mode of the layer to Value.

If you want to apply a solid color over the entire image, create a new layer on top of everything, fill it with a single color, and set its layer blending mode to Color.

Now mess around with the other blending modes so you have an idea of how they work. Screen and Multiply are the most important, with Value and Color being second.

So aside from all the little pixel lines drawn all over the image you mentioned, it's really quite simple. From what I see, he didn't even use any filters. Even the text just has a gradient over it (probably done with blending options, but maybe he rasterized the layer and added the gradient manually).

In other words, understand blending modes, layer masks, and blending options, and you'll be able to do all sorts of stuff.

I wouldn't really suggest mixing colors (like below), unless you have a clear idea of what you're trying to go for. When different colors blend into each other, they can get muddy.


The PSD File

You can also get a lot of other effects with blending modes:


The PSD File

Try using Overlay with gradients to highlight certain features of an image. This is especially useful for bringing out a person's face, so attention is immediately drawn to it. Just create a white blob with the radial gradient, white inside, black outside, and set it to overlay over the person's face. A lot of portrait painters use this technique for the same reason, albeit with different means.

Compare:




These are just some friends of mine. The first picture uses the technique, the second is the original picture. Notice the difference? The trick is to keep it subtle.
