I want to create a picture like this, I need help. Options

[Nina-Williams]

I found this avatar.




However, here is the original image.



I want to make that avatar, but the size to be bigger, but I don't know how the person did it exactly.
I thought he/she had used feather and cut the picture on the right side, but it wasn't.
How can I do that picture?

It looks like they just played around with the layers. They probably used the infamous dark blue exclusion layer and then just used a dark colored brush on the right side and set that layer to darken.

I have an idea how they did it.

First, I know for sure they crop the picture and resize it to 100 x 100. I'm thinking they found a better quality version of the picture.

After they crop it, they create a new layer and color a dark navi blue color in the layer and set it to lighten and then made another leyer and color that leyer with a cream light orange type color and set that to overlay

I believe they use a texture too. I think the creator of the avatar rotated the picture a little becasue the angle is a little differnt.

I'm not sure what colors and blend modes the person used. Try finding a better quality version of the picture. Crop it and play around with the colors and blend modes and stuff.

What program do you use?
