Create a Wallpaper of Japan in Photoshop

Step 26

Now import the flying hill into the main scene and place it on the left side as shown.

Using the Curves color-correct the flying hill to blend with the environment.

As we are assuming the light coming from the right side, paint the light shade on the flying hill as shown.

Since the hill is flying high in the sky we must create some roots hanging from the hill.
Using the Lasso Tool draw a mask around the hill representing the hanging roots. Then fill the selection with the color #d4c2cd.

Step 27

In this step we are going to create a temple on the flying hill. Cut the Temple from its original background and place on the hill as shown.

Since the flying hill is located far from the scene the temple located on the hill will appears slightly mixed with the colors of the surrounding environment. Hence select a mask in the shape of the temple and fill in the selection with the color #6dce2.

Now add a Gaussian Blur of radius 1.4px to the flying hill followed by temple and the roots.

Step 28

Following the previous step create another flying hill located far from our previous hill.

Step 29

Create a new layer above the scenery layer, then by using the Planets Brush paint some plants as shown with the white color selected.

Step 30

In this step we are going to create a banner on the top of the scene as we drew in the concept. Mask out the Banner from its original image and import it onto the working canvas and place it on the top of the scene as per the concept. Make sure to place the banner layer below the sunrays layer.

Step 31

In this step we are going to create a rope with which the banner is being hung. Mask out the Rope using the Magic Wand Tool(W) and import it onto the working canvas and place it as shown using the Move Tool(V).

Now add a Gaussian Blur of Radius 1.4px to the rope.

Step 32

In this step we are going to create clouds around the flying hills. With the clouds brush selected paint some clouds around the flying hills as shown.
