okay can i ask: HOW did you color the gorgeous green alicent cap and pink cap here? I'm SO in love post/695248863493324800/house-of-the-dragon-104-king-of-the-narrow

hi!

first off, thank you for the kind words :)

here's a general picspam tutorial: x

picspam inspo/prompts: x

here's a tutorial on how to color these house of the dragon caps:

let's start with the alicent cap:

step 1: fix that dark lighting

add a curves or brightness layer

add a color filter layer - this will help with the yellow lighting & these are my settings:

step 2: light leak textures

after that i added textures which were these and changed the color to only green by using hue and saturation adjusment + set it to screen

and that's literally it! basically just used a lottttt of light leaks and textures that were green but the main component was the color filter that made the cap have more cool tones. if you wanted to make the coloring red for example then you’d use the warming filter on the color filter adjustment! :)

alright moving on to the next cap:

step 1: fix that lighting again!

like the prev. cap, i used a curves layer and color filter layer except i used the violet filter

step 2: add gradient map layers

use the gradient map adjustment layer and set it from a dark to light color of your choice + set it to soft light OR screen (adjust opacity as needed)

step 4: add light leaks

for this specific cap i only added the light leaks on the corner (same one as above + changed it to pink) and set it to screen

and that’s all! hope this helped :)

as always, my inbox is open to any questions or comments!

picspam editing prompts/ideas
