How to Create an Awesome Fiery Grim Reaper by Combining Images

Step 24

Group these fire layers from step 21-23 and add a layer mask to the group to further hide unwanted parts.

Step 25

Unrar/Unzip somewhere on your computer the effects archive. Copy and paste one of the effects into our scene and position it as shown below.

Step 26

Change the blending mode of the special effect to Color Dodge. Add a layer mask and mask the lower portion.

Step 27

Choose another effect from the effects folder and place it as shown below.

Step 28

Change the blending mode of the effect to Screen.

Step 29

Create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer and clip it to the effect you just placed. Drag the hue slider all the way to the left.

Step 30

Import the lightning brushes. Create a new layer and create a lightning with white color. Place the lightning as shown below. It is barely visible because there is so much light there.

Step 31

Double click the lightning layer to enter advanced blending mode. Use the settings shown below.

Step 32

Create two more layers and on each create a different lightning. Double click to enter advanced blending mode for each and use the same settings as we used in step 31.

Step 33

Group the lightning layers together. Add a layer mask to the group and mask the unwanted parts.

Step 34

Create a new layer and import the smoke brush. Create a smoke on the hand of the death figure using a smoke brush with white color – use a layer mask to hide hard edges.

Step 35

Add some more smoke on different layers in the areas indicated below. If the smoke is too strong lower the opacity of the layer. Group the smoke layers together.

Step 36

Open the file “Glitter”. Copy and paste the image into our scene and don’t forget to transform it into a smart object. Place it as I did below.

Step 37

Change the blending mode of the “Glitter” layer to Color Dodge. Add a layer mask and hide the glitter/sparks until you have something like the image below.

Step 38

Duplicate the “Glitter” layer and place it on the wooden part of the scythe. If needed further hide unwanted parts in the layer mask.

Step 39

Open the file “Texture”. Copy and paste into our scene and convert to smart object.

Step 40

Change the blending mode of the “Texture” layer to Multiply. Add a layer mask and hide the texture outside the death figure body.
