Final Image Preview: For downloading the wallpaper click the image ![]() Open a new document in Photoshop with this size: 1280x1024, and a resolution of 72. Paint the background layer in black, and add noise (menu Filter/Noise/Add Noise) with these settings: amount 8,79%, gaussian, monochromatic. Select the brush number 4 of my Tree Photoshop Brushes. Adjust the brush size to 1290 and apply it over a new layer, using white color. Create a new layer, and use the Magic Wand Tool to select the space below the trees. ![]() Fill it with white too, and move the layer that contains the trees a bit down until they merge. Now, add noise to the ground layer and the trees layer with the same settings than before (8,79%, gaussian, monochromatic). Create another layer and add a moon. Use my Planets Brushes. In this example, the brush "Europa" was used. ![]() The wallpaper has gained a mystery atmosphere. Now use an image that you like. It can be a witch, a pumpkin, or a zombie, like in this case. I have used this image by Sewzi-stock. You can see her work in her gallery of Deviant Art. Open the image in Photoshop and select using the menu Select/Color Range, and picking the most interesting pixels. For this image, I used a Fuzziness of 148. Copy and paste the selected pixels inside a new layer of the wallpaper. Turn it to black and white with the menu Image/Adjustments/Desaturate. ![]() Use a soft round brush from the Basic Brushes (that come with Photoshop) to place 2 or 3 red points near the eyes. ![]() Use Filter/Blur/Motion Blur several times. Here I used an angle of 27 degrees and 262 pixels. Move the layer with this glow on top of all the others. ![]() To integrate the different layers better, create a new layer, fill it in black, and add noise (menu Filter/Noise/Add Noise) with these settings: amount 88,08%, gaussian, monochromatic. Use Filter/Blur/Motion Blur to turn it into inclined lines. ![]() In the Layers tab, change this layer mode to "Soft Light", and move it to place this layer just below the layer with the eyes glow. Through the menu Image/Adjustments/Hue-Saturation turn it red with these settings: +4 +61 +0. Some final adjustments make the eyes glow layer look better. For example, setting the Opacity to 71%. ![]() To make the title use color #601717 and font Isabella. Rasterize the text, so you can manipulate it (Layer/Rasterize/Type). Apply the filters: Distort/Ripple, Texture/Craquelure, and Brush Strokes/Spatter. Then, double-click this layer and apply the effects Inner Shadow and Satin. ![]() For downloading the wallpaper click the image
