Hombre Torturado (Tutorial Photoshop)

Torture a Man and Stitch Him Up

1
Transform a man into a torture victim with a couple tricks and some basic tools.
Step 1: Put Him in Stitches
This man will soon have a life-changing experience.

The color in this picture is a little intense, so first thing we’re going to do is lower the saturation. CTRL+U and drag the Saturation slider down to -75.

Adjust the levels and intensify theimage. CTRL+L and slide the sliders around until you get a nice effect.

Duplicate the layer (I like to keep duplicates of layers we’re going to alter in case we make a mistake – it’s good practice). Hide the bottom of the two layers.
Create a new layer over top of the man.
Use either the Pen Tool, or the Brush Tool and draw some lines/shapes where you want the stitches to go. This is just aguide to help us, so it doesn’t need to be perfect.

Download a couple packs of Stitches Brushes from deviantART.
After you install them, (you might have to save and exit, then reopen Photoshop for them to appear), go through and select a stitches brush.
Create another new layer, over top of the lines you made. What we’re going to do is create a new layer for each length of stitches, so if weneed to we can edit them later on.
Change the color to black and stamp the stitches anywhere on your layer.

CTRL+T to transform, so you can skew and scale the stitches. Position them along one of the lines you made.

Then, stamp another set of stitches. Use a Marquee tool or a Lasso tool to select around your newest stitches. Then, CTRL+T to rotate, scale and skew if needed – match it upwith the other stitches you already placed.

For each line of stitches, create a new layer, and then repeat these steps until everything is covered.

Be sure you switch up which stitches you’re using, you don’t want them to all look the same.
Step 2: How to Kill an Appendage
We’re going to kill this man’s pinky. To get a nice dead flesh look, select the Sponge tool to begin with. Soft Roundbrush, Mode: Desaturate, Flow: 50%. Scale the brush down so it fits neatly inside of the finger. Do a once-over with the brush.

If you want a little less color in a specific area, carefully going back in with the brush and absorb more of the color.
Now, select the Burn Tool, Soft Round brush, Range: Midtones and Exposure: 10%. Start at the finger tip and go over the finger several times.

Besure to go along the stitches as well, and darken the area around the stitches, on both sides. You want it to look infected and rotting at the same time.

Use the Lasso Tool, with a 7px feather and draw a shape around the finger. We’re going to add some green/yellow color to the finger now. CTRL+U and up the Saturation a little, and slide the Hue slider around until you find a nice sick yellowycolor.

Use the Eyedropper tool and pull some of the greenish colors from the finger and paint the fingernail, with a small Soft Round brush, 20% Opacity so you don’t coat it too quickly.

Step 3: Infect the Stitches
Since a lot of his skin is a little browner than it is pink, we’re going to add a little pink to it. To do this, select a bright red color. Using the Brush tool with a Soft Roundbrush and 10-20% Opacity, color up and down the stitches, on the man’s layer. You don’t want it too intense, we’ll do that later, we just want to add a little color to it.

Using the Burn Tool, go along the stitches on the man’s layer. We can to actually change the color of his flesh, and adding the red to it will help it more easily look infected.

Keep going along the stitches until you get agood dark color. Add some extra darkness in some areas.

While you’re at it, you can kill another finger if you want.

Step 4: Rough Him Up and Remove Some Skin
Find a large picture of raw meat. For this, I searched for “raw steak”. Cut out the meat and copy and paste it onto a new layer in our project.

Duplicate it a couple times and cover all of the space that the man’s body exists...
