Been wanting to give Willow’s Grove a bit of visual pop and I just haven’t been able to come up with it. I went searching on the interwebs hoping to find some tutorials as I know Photoshop, but not inside and out. I did this doodle, playing with settings and layer masks and layer gradients featuring the Starblazer as the main character in the composition.

The tutorial I used as an example can be found over at www.abduzeedo.com/tutorials, which has a nice set of tutorials for lighting effects in Photoshop.
