Apply Motion Blur with same settings in step 9:
Move this light up :
Add layer mask and use soft brush with opacity and flow 30% to blur light effect on some parts:
Duplicate this layer and move it down. Name it “light 4”. Use layer mask with brush 100% opacity to clear its top:
Step 18
Open rock stock pack, you can choose the one you like. I choose this one:
Go to Edit-Define Brush Preset and name it whatever you like:
Come back to our main document. Create a new layer and position it on the top. Choose brush tool and find the new brush we’ve just created. Set foreground color to black.
Press F5 to change settings for rock brush:
Paint inside the lights:
Step 19
Duplicate this layer and we have:
Add layer mask for each rock brush blur the top of them as the top get less light then the rest so less visible:
To make these small rocks get 3D effect, add layer style for them. Right click each rock layer, choose Blending options:
Choose Direction as Down because these rocks get light from underground.
Step 20
Open fireball image. Move it into our document, resize it as shown below:
Move it onto a rock and change the mode to Screen 100%. Add layer mask to erase around it:
Duplicate this layer:
Choose two these layers, hit Cmd/Ctrl+G to make group for them. Name this group as “fireball 1”. Right click this group, choose Duplicate Group. Right click duplicated group, choose Merge Group. We have this merged group as a normal layer and remember to change the mode of it to Screen 100% :
Duplicate it many times and place it onto the rocks randomly. Also place them onto man’s hands. Remember to resize them to fit the size of the rocks. I use 23 layers for this effect and call them from “fireball 1” to “fireball 23”, make group for them to be easier to manage:
Step 21
To change the focus of this picture, I use Gradient effect. Make a new layer on the top. Hit G to active Gradient Tool. Choose Radial Gradient Tool with default color ( black and white). Drag a line from center to bottom:
Change the mode to Soft light 100%. Add layer mask to remove contrasted part on the top left and blur around burning circle:
