Unforgettable Emo Heart

This tutorial was written by me on February 22, 2012 and any resemblance to another tutorial is strictly accidental. This tutorial assumes that you have a working knowledge of psp already however I do try to make it easy enough for ALL levels of taggers.

Supplies Needed:

Tube of choice: I am using one from Verymany please do NOT use the same tube as me without a license. You can purchase the tube HERE!

Unforgettable Scrap by Eclipse Creations. This is a PTU scrap kit you can find the stores that it’s sold in on the Eclipse Creations blog located HERE!

Starry Textures by Zummerfish which you can find at deviant art HERE!! They are on the 3rd row from the top and the 1st one on that line.

Glowy Textures 1 by Yoruko which you can also find at deviant art HERE! They are on page one 3rd one from the end.

Font of choice: I’m using Shit Happens which you can find HERE!
Plugins Needed:

Eye Candy 4000- gradient glow
DSB Flux: Bright Noise

OK Let’s get started open up a 600x250 making sure the dpi is set to 72. Now find a color from your tube the tube I am using pretty much matches my scrap kit so I choose a dark pink from the tube. Now flood fill the image with the color from your tube.

Ok now open the glowy texture named corruption then copy and paste as a new layer. Now go to image/rotate and rotate 90 (alt 0176) then resize by 50% twice. Now change the blend mode to overlay then open the starry night texture 30 then copy and paste as a new layer and change the blend mode to hard light. Now open your tube then copy and paste as a new layer. Now the tube I am using is a bigger tube so right now I’m basically using it for a closeup layer tube. Now place the tube on the left side of your tag (or so that your tube is facing towards the center of the tag. Then duplicate this layer and go to image/mirror then right click on the duplicate layer and then go to merge/merge down. Now move this down below the starry texture layer, change the blend mode to hard light and then lower the opacity to 60%.

Now paste your tube as a new layer again and if needed resize it I had to resize mine by 50% then place it in the center of your tag. Now open EC_U_HeartScatters or something similar to it if your not using the same kit as me.
Now copy and paste as a new layer, move to the bottom of your tag then duplicate. Then go to image/flip, right click on the copy of the heart scatters then merge down and then change the blend mode to overlay.

Now open EC_U_Splatter or a splatter of choice then colorize if needed. Now copy and paste as a new layer then resize by 60%. Now move to the left side of your tag then duplicate and go to image/mirror. Now merge down then move below the top texture layer and your close-up tube layer. Click on the top layer

OK now open EC_U_Right then copy and paste as a new layer. Now position so that the point is in the top right hand corner. Now duplicate this layer then go to image/mirror now merge down the 2 light layers then move below the top texture layer and the tube close up layer.

OK now open EC_U_Flower3 then copy and paste as a new layer. Now move to the left side of your tag then change the blend mode to hard light. Now open EC_U_Flower2 then copy and paste as a new layer. Now move to the left side of your tag then change the blend mode to hard light. Open EC_U_BadBug then resize 1st by 60% and then resize again by 70% now copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the bottom right corner of your tag. Now open EC_U_Flower1 then copy and paste as a new layer. Now open EC_U_sparkle2 then copy and paste as a new layer. Now open EC_U_Sparkle then copy and paste as a new layer. Click on your tube layer making it the active layer and drag it above all of the other layers. Now open EC_Sparkle then copy and paste as a new layer.

OK now open EC_U_ClaweredHeart2 then resize twice by 50% then copy and paste as a new layer then position in the lower left corner of your tag. Now open EC_U_Lips then resize by 50% then copy and paste as a new layer and move over to the right side of your main tube. Now duplicate this layer then go to image/mirror. Now open EC_U_ScatteredRings then resize by 50% then copy and paste as a new layer. Now click on each layer and add a slight drop shadow using these settings: vertical/horizontal: 2 opacity: 66, blur: 3.00 and color of black then repeat the drop shadow changing the vertical/horizontal to -2.

Now add your credits layer and then add any other text you want such as your name. I applied a slight gradient glow to my name using eye candy 4000- gradient glow.

OK now click on the background layer then go to selections/select all then go to selections/modify/select borders and add a border with a width of 10. Now pick another color from your tube then add a new raster layer. Now flood fill the selection with the new color then go to effects/plugins/dsb flux/bright noise with intensity set to 80 and direction set to mix. Now drag this layer to the very top layer of your banner.

Now save and you are finished with the banner for your set.

OK now for the avatar… Open a 150x150 blank canvas then flood fill with the same color as before. Ok now open the glowy texture named corruption then copy and paste as a new layer. Now go to image/rotate and rotate 90 (alt 0176) then resize by 50% three times. Now change the blend mode to overlay then open the starry night texture 30 then copy and paste as a new layer and change the blend mode to hard light.

Now open EC_U_BadBug then resize 1st by 50% and then again by 80%. Now copy and paste as a new layer. Then open EC_U_Splatter then resize by 50% then copy and paste as a new layer and drag this layer below the badbug & the 1st texture layer then change the blend mode to hard light.

Now click back on the 1st texture layer then open EC_U_Sparkle then copy and paste as a new layer. Now position to your liking. Ok now open EC_U_HeartScatter then copy and paste as a new layer. Now change the blend mode to overlay. Now open EC_Sparkle then copy and paste as a new layer. Now move this layer above the badbug layer. Now click on the heart layer then open EC_U_Sparkle2 then copy and paste as a new layer.

OK now click on the background layer then go to selections/select all then go to selections/modify/select borders and add a border with a width of 10. Now pick another color from your tube then add a new raster layer. Now flood fill the selection with the new color then go to effects/plugins/dsb flux/bright noise with intensity set to 80 and direction set to mix. Now drag this layer to the very top layer of your avatar.

Now I didn’t use a tube on my avatar but you can its up to you. Once you have completed this don’t forget to add your credits and your name or initial then save and we are done.
