In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll create a Battlefield 1 style poster composite with a Roman Legionnaire and we’re going to title it “Battlefield B.C.” In this video, not only will I get side-tracked talking about World War I for a quick minute at the beginning of this tutorial, but we’ll also cover how to create custom smoke with brushes, blending the Roman soldier into the composite, creating motion blur, creating sparkling lighting effects, color grading, squared sharp corners on an outer stroke, and much, much more!
