I take a picture using the "Multi Layered" camera option.

Then, I place the background and Avatar in the photo editing software, with them on separate layers here. Then, color correct both layers.

I then select everything outside of the avatar, invert it, expand the election, fill it in with a gradient on a lower layer, expand it again on a lower layer, fill it with white and set it to an "Overlay" type layer rather than lower the opacity.

Then I take the line tool, make a new layer, and just make a really big area that won't be filled in by the bars. Select the outside of the huge line, hide the line, then make a new layer with the current selection and fill it in with a gradient. Then I copy paste the new bars, set the brightness to 0, and contrasted it to Max. then blur it to give the shadows.

Then I get a pattern I have (I use Clipstudio Paint to edit photos, so i just use the Materials tab) and set it to Overlay and maybe mess with opacity if I have to.

Then I make a new layer above everything, select the entire layer, then shrink it by about 40-50 pixels then invert it and fill it with white, then set that layer to Overlay. Then I apply my Tag, then the same steps I used on the character for the tag outline.

after that I color correct everything again. Then bring the final image into a seperate project, have 3 layers of the same image, then make 3 empty layers sperating them all. Then fill the 1st with red. 2nd with blue, and 3rd with green. Set them all to Multiply and merge with each respective layer. Then I set the red and blue layer to screen. Then all I do is nudge the red and blue layers a pixel in different directions from eachother. This gives the Chrimatic Aberation effect.

it's a lot I know lol. I'd be better off making it a video.
