Name it as “ground” or whatever you like.
Add layer mask to erase the outside part of this ground to make it look like being inside the circle actually:
Change the mode to Multipy 70%:
Step 11
Open crack stock. Move it, resize and transform as we usually do in previous steps:
Change the mode of this layer to Soft light 100%. Add layer mask to clear rough edges:
Step 12
In this step I want to add some tiny burning effects on the cracked ground. Make a new layer which is set on the top. Take brush with color #fbe29d with very small size ( I use 2-3 px) and paint inside cracked parts. Set the mode to Overlay 100%:
You may not see a very obvious change after this step but don’t worry. We will make it look more visible right now.
Name this layer “burning effect”. On this layer, press Cmd/Ctrl+G to make group for it. Change the mode of this layer from Pass Through ( default mode for group) to Color Dodge 100%:
You can see a big change after this step:
Right click burning effect layer, choose Blending options:
And result:
Rename this group as “burning effect”.
Step 13
Open man stock. Extract him with method you’re familiar with, resize and place him into our main document:
To change color of the man I use a Hue/Saturation layer with Clipping Mask:
Step 14
To add glowing effect for the man, make a new layer on the top. On man layer, hold Cmd/Ctrl while clicking man thumbnail layer to load its selection:
Set feather for it as 1. Go to Edit-Stroke and use color #fceaa4:
Change the mode to Overlay 50%:
Name it as “glowing stroke 1”.
Step 15
Create a new layer, and use brush with color #ef8d0e. Press F5 to make settings for this brush:
Paint carefully along the bottom of man’s legs:
To make this effect more visible, right click this layer, choose Blending options:
Name it as “glowing stroke 2”.
Step 16
Make a new layer and use soft brush with color #fbcb9c. Increase the size of brush to paint on model as the screenshot below shows:
Change the mode to Overlay 100%:
Call it “glowing light”.
Step 17
Duplicate burning circle layer then delete its layer mask of under layer( right click layer mask, choose Delete Layer Mask). Move under one above the top. Name it “light 3”
