EDIT 2: Woah... I can't believe how much attention this is getting O_O Over 1000+ views already?! Thank you to the lovely person for suggesting this to the group! A lot of activity has happened so uh..yay!
Some extra info about Hungry Whispers: HW is a horror visual novel/puzzle game that I'm currently making at . Do feel free to check it out!
Image post production magical goodness I used in creating the atmospheric backgrounds in Hungry Whispers. Okay, they're not the most atmospheric in the world of art but nearly there!
I hope this walkthrough would be of some use to someone, the techniques I've used can be used for just about anything (digital art, photography included)! Experimenting with the different layer modes can bring about nice surprises too!
Let me know if you do use it, I'd love to see what you've done ^__^
And i will! ^__^
Enjoy! ;D
