So, with Paint Brush Tool still selected:<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – BRUSH SHAPE: Choose a soft round brush (for best immediate results, use a px size at least 1\/4 size of canvas)<\/p>\n 05 :: Set some other critical Brush properties:<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – OPACITY:\u00a0 100% (default) 06 :: Lets see what these settings get us on the black canvas.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0– Create a new layer on top of all others. SUMMARY: However, when they overlap, the Linear Dodge + Wet Edges causes the chosen colour to increase.\u00a0<\/p>\n The more you mouse-down over existing blobs, the more saturated & bright the overlap appears.\u00a0<\/p>\n The effect is eggs that appear to be connected, as if bubbles in a liquid.\u00a0 Even when the blobs approach each other, their glow overlaps, creating the appearance of 2 seperate eggs with connected membranes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try out different colours & note how – without editing the Brush Tool settings above – each colour behaves a bit differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n For even further Alien Egg effects, create larger eggs shapes, and using darker & different colours, create smaller Alien Embryo shapes within.\u00a0 All the while, play with Brush Opacity: have the larger earlier Alien Eggs have like a 75% Opacity, with the inner\/later Alien Eggs having closer to 100%.<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create these glowing blobular Alien Eggs in Photoshop 01 :: First, create a new file with a good canvas size & large dpi: 02 :: Next, create a new layer, fill it with a dark colour, and name it: 03 :: Then, to give our Alien Eggs … Continue reading alien egg photoshop tutorial<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[81,143,191],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.archibaldjude.com\/spew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0– Drop & drag out a few circles of your colour
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0– Make sure the edges of at least 2 of them overlap a little bit<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nTo describe the Photoshop Fu before you, we have blobs of colour that, by themselves, have cell walls and glow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
