Petunia Dursley at 4 Privet Drive with Harry's Wand
Thank you!
Let's see what I can remember about the filters... I know that the top texture is just the texturiser canvas option, once the whole image had been flattened.
My favourite bit of texture in this is from a coloured layer - I used a mixture of desaturated greens, yellows and oranges, in a messy sort of layer that was supposed to look a bit filthy. I have an "ink splatter" brush set that I downloaded from Ivy Photography's Deviant Art page (I can see if I can find a link if you're interested), and I used a lot of the more vertical splats to build up the shapes.
I *think* I set that to Overlay, but I'm afraid I can't quite remember... most of the image was drawn underneath it with that top layer set as invisible so it wouldn't affect the colours that the eyedropper picked up, but right there so that I could keep checking to see how it was looking. The sharp highlights were drawn over the top.
It's possible I may have duplicated the overlay layer, too, because just one might not have been intense enough. If it wasn't overlay, it would have been soft or hard light.
Like a twit, I flattened the psd file and saved so I can't go back and check :-/.
