Okay, putting it in fresh post for easier editing.
How to do accents. First what is important is .psd
(Iām only using photoshop, I canāt really help much with other programs)
whatās important in .psd is āaccent partsā folder
in accent parts folder you should have base layer, here named āaccent goes hereā and shadow and lines layers clipped to base layer.
(I didnāt downloaded .psds from the site in ages, so I donāt remember if all of them are organized the same way, should be similar. If not you can makeĀ new empty layer that will work as your accent base and clip copy of shadow and lineart layers to it)
Shadow and lineart layer should not be edited, you can change their color, but thatās all!
What is important to you is āaccent goes hereā layer (which I will call accent base, or just base layer). Here is what happen when you draw on base layer:
shadows and linearts are clipped to the base so they will be there whatever you draw.
Now here goes your first trick. How to create mask to make your accent always stay within base
(gif starts with āhold ctrl, click on base layerā)
So alternative way of adding masks
right click* on the dragon base layer then āselect layer transparencyā in CS2, Ā āselect pixelsā in CS6
right click* on lineart layer āadd transparency maskā
click on the folder with accent parts
now go to menu layer>layer mask>reveal selection
*make sure you are right clicking on the little layer thumbnail image
Now to the accents making part.
All you have to do is draw on the base layer.
here is simple tattoo style accent, one gray layer:
here is another tattoo style accent, this time with color:
it was done on multiple layers, later flattened together to create accent base layer and then had shadow and lineart clipped to it
now for other type of accent, that mimic accesories:
basically itās image with itās own lineart, own shadows and lights, that have orginal shadow and lineart on top of it.
here how these accents look finished.
Basically all you have to remember is for these two layers
to be there on top of your accent image and for nothing to stick outside off the base.
One more example of how it look on actual accent and not these small quick examples above
Skins work the same as accents, but they just cover more area.
And I guess thatās all that really is to it. The rest depends from your idea and art skills ^^
I hope that make sense, feel free to ask if something need clarification ^^
