Expand your Imagi-Nation

You mean Nazis? I don't think it's a religion :D

 

Also, have you noticed that besides that picture of that wirdo up there, I'm the only one who added lighting? The Saddam with lightsaber picture I done quite a while ago, what I've added now is only that... let's call it light :p

Okay, thats what I did with Pie™ over a few days.

 

Okay, to make the background dark, its easy, One way is lto create a new layer, get out ur paint brush, have it black, paint over everything u want blacked out. then use the tool above the layers list and adjust the opacity and fill meters, easy.

Hey, Winduwt105? In case your question wasn't answered, you can also go to Filter->Render->Lighting effects. Change the color to the color of the lightsaber, and angle the light so it hits the side of the face.

I've tried it but it is too circular

Samuel could you tell me how you did the blade like you did with aragorn i can make a blade but the ways i do it is much different looking.

I'm not using Photoshop (I've got PSP), so it may be slightly different than this for you, but the idea is the same:

 

I removed the original sword in both pics, then I drew the blade (white) the length & thickness I liked for the saber on a new layer which I named 'core'. Then I rounded the top end of the saber with the Paintbrush tool. I duplicated/cloned the layer with the saber core on it to a new layer named 'blur1', and used 'Blur Average' on it at strength 10-15. Repeat with corresponding name changes until the saber glow looks good to you, then merge all the saber blade and core layers (DO NOT MERGE the background layer with the saber blade/glow layers). After that, use the Retouch tool, set it to 'Hue to Target', choose the color of your lightsaber, and color in the saber layer. It should turn out quite well - I have the .psp files if you want to take a look.
