Same thing with a smoke. Create a new layer, upload a “effects_brushes_by_vincdesign-d4mwjs4” brush set in Photoshop and use “CLOD 3” brush with Size 250 – 500px, Opacity: 35 – 70% and color: #c4c4c4. Change the brush size depending on how far you where you want to apply it. Also, first draw mainstream smoke. Then use Eraser Tool (E) with same settings as a brush and make it more voluminous by erase some parts. Use several layers to control Opacity and then merge them (Cmd/Ctrl + E or Layer > Merge Layers…).
Now that everything is ready, click on a group “city” and create a merged copy Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt + Shift + E and convert this layer to Smart Object (right click on layer > Convert to Smart Object).
Step 12
Now the depth of field. This is very important because we are creating a portrait/poster, and in this case, attention should be drawn to main character. I give you two options: as I did and alternative. I have Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and use Tilt-Shift blur from Blur Gallery. This new features in this version, so if you have a different version of Photoshop a description of an alternative version of a little lower. First Tilt-Shift blur. Go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift… Move the center circle at the lower boundary of the working field. In the upper right window settings (check that there was only one checked – Tilt-Shift) set Blur: 10px, Distortion: 0. In the lower window set Light Bokeh: 30%, Color Bokeh: 20% and click OK to apply filter.
Now for those who are using a different version there is an alternative way to achieve the desired effect. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur… In window that appears set Radius to 10px and click Ok.
Take a Gradient Tool, set default black & white gradient and background/Foreground colors (D) with linear method. Apply gradient on filter layer mask from Bottom to black roofs of buildings from the first plan (this will remove the effect of the filter on the first plan). And then you get a similar effect.

Great tutorial but the skyscraper link goes to a search result rather than the image used in this tutorial

Anton, you should download some of her PSD files so you can see what’s she’s doing. It’ll help you learn PS faster.

Great Tutorial. Ive been working on my weaknesses, and photo manipulation is one of them. I never even used some of the adjustment techniques in this, so that was a real eye opener. Camera Raw was really cool. Very powerful.

Thank you very much for this tutoria! I gave it a try and submited it here: http://dilarosa.deviantart.com/art/Meanwhile-in-the-rain-589781746 with due credit :D

I couldn’t find the skyscraper image from the link provided
-
WOW. These comments are amazing. Did anyone even do the tutorial? How about the part with the first step where you have to download the skyscraper image, and how it’s not actually available in the link provided…. ? Do we just try with another image that looks kinda similar? Is this tutorial meant to be a “rough guide” ?
-
I’m looking forward to trying this exercise out with some of my students.
-
This kind of work is common, there are several works in this style.
It would be very interesting if the owner of the website to publish creative tutorials.

For goodness sake why a gun? Such barbarity and not anything to celebrate or glorify. Go take a picture of something less banal and more inspirational.
-
This is simply wonderful composite work…just one correction she’s not a Sniper as she’s carrying a customized M4 Assault Rifle with Reflex sight & Sound Suppressor attachment..

Mahmoud Ibrahim ElKasrawy, And what’s the similar here – rain?

And what’s the similar here – rain?

maybe the model :) .

Oops! By the way here is a small list of artworks that were long time ago previous to your artwork and they are very similar to your. http://nenoc2.deviantart.com/art/Demonia-Web-387514487?ga_submit_new=10%253A1374561982%29

Maybe because they used the same stock which is a model on deviantArt :) .
and she allows others to use her photos. -
Then, what is similar in these photos. http://phelandavion.deviantart.com/art/Olesia-Anderson-STOCK-III-515126408

Kayla Davion is one, but the characters are different.
-
I don’t get why you are panicking :)
-
When a man rolls up to a lie, he loses his face. I panic because there are no more men.
-
No, you are showing 2 things by that attitude.
– you Need to grow up
– you have no self confidence :)There is nothing in the world says to attack others work in order to maintain yours. :)
Although if you just focused alittle. if i say that i did something similar , it would mean that i like yours.
but as i said. you just need to mentally grow up (Y)
Cheers.
