Original image
step 1 of 13
First I masked out the source image, duplicated it and applied the mask. Then I got rid of the elements I didn't want, using spot healing brush and clone stamp.
step 2 of 13
I wrote the words and applied layer style.
step 3 of 13
One at a time, I selected the words, contracted the selection and on a new layer I applied rust. PDS was saved to be used later.
step 4 of 13
A PDS for the masked-out vampire was created and saved too.
step 5 of 13
The same for the bat.
step 6 of 13
Now the blood bag. I adjusted its brightness/contrast and masked it out.
step 7 of 13
I got rid of the text I didn't want and wrote the currency symbol, applying layer style and distorting it a little. Saved the PDS to use it later.
step 8 of 13
I opened the background image - the castle door provided by Cornelia - and masked its inner wall.
step 9 of 13
A new inner wall was placed.
step 10 of 13
All PDS files I had saved were placed on their own layers.
step 11 of 13
I then worked on each element one at a time, creating layers below and above it for shadows and/or reflections.
step 12 of 13
Adjustment layers and burn and dodge tools were used too.
step 13 of 13
Finally all the layers were merged at the top and a copy was made. I applied gaussian blur and overlay blending with 10% opacity to the copy.
