If you are a retoucher, there is no question about your favorite holiday. Let me guess… Halloween :)

Stefan over at the Raw Exchange just shared three quick photoshop tricks to help bring normal photos into scary Halloween composites. (Only instead of a normal photo, stefan is using probably the scariest clown I’ve seen in my life, so if you suffer from clownphobia, you’d wanna skip that one).

I think this is kind of a scary Halloween toolkit, at a very low retouching level. For two of the tutorials, you’d need nothing but a good base photo. (The third one would need a few photos of raw stake).

Also, it’s halloween, so there is some gore and other disgusting things shown on the screen. This is good if you want to get a handle on some scary retouching techniques, but not as good if you are troubled by strong graphical content or blood. Now, without further ado, demonic eyes, White Walkers and gore flesh.

The year comes to an end and just before the busy days of watching StarWars and celebrating the holidays I’m rushing to finish some images and close this year off. One of the images that needed to be done was my contribution to the Dark Realm Collective – Black Christmas Art Pack.

I’ve been part of this collective since its conception and we’ve been making awesome dark images throughout the year, mostly themed around festive holidays and events. Naturally we needed to do a Christmas theme.

So for the Christmas art pack we had a few themes to pick from, the themes are more of a guide to get us started.

In the text below I am going to show you how it was done step by step. If you want to use any of the packages from this tutorial, the nice guys from the Image Manipulation Store agreed to provide a 20% off coupon (till Dec 30th), for any of the packages used here. Just use coupon code whitewalker4 on checkout.
