#demon tutorial

First off, I'm going to offer some tips, these aren't mandatory, but I feel as if they make the process a lot easier, as well makes the finished product much more awesome.

Try to find a picture that's slightly intimidating or creepy.  Because, let's face it, would you be afraid of a demon holding a puppy in their arms?  Yeah, no.  I chose this one because you can see the slightest mischievous smirk on Nina's face.

The bigger and more HQ a picture is, the better!

Now, onto some demon-izing!

After finding your picture and opening it on photoshop/gimp, you're gonna want to duplicate the picture.

After duplicating it, desaturate the bottom layer.  

Then, set the top layer (which should still be colored), to overlay.  It should give you this effect:

Now, usually after this I like to merge the layers, but this is just a preference as I tend to get confused if there are too many layers.

Next, zoom up on the eyes.  Take the burn tool and start burning the waterline and around the eyes.  Not only does this add drama to the photo, but it also makes the end product seem more seamless.  It should look similar to this:

Now, onto them demon eyes (get ready to call le Winchester bros).

Still zoomed up on the eyes, color all of the eye.  The eyes look lifeless, right? like this:

That's because we colored over the white light reflections.  So, either paint them back in, or just erase the black that cover them, so it looks like this:

Looks better, right?  YAY!  Well, you may notice there is a slight light section between the lashes and black of the eye, or the waterline?  Well just go back once more with the burn tool and correct any little mistakes such as that!

YAY!  Your done, now it's up to you if you wanna add some textures and so on c:
