《Resources ▹ Tutorials, Tips & Help》SUPERIMPOSE LIGHTING + OVERLAYS
Advertisement
Most of you may know Superimpose, but if you don't, it's an app for iPhone/iPad (I'm not sure if it's available on Android or any other devices). It's the next best thing to Photoshop for mobile users. This chapter features some overlays for lighting/effect that can be used there & are similar to many photoshop lighting brushes :-)
Now, this is the first time I've ever done a tutorial of any sort, so I apologize if it's mildly confusing.
. Open your image as the background.
. Open this image as the foreground.
. Go to the transform tab & change the blend mode to screen. Reduce opacity to your satisfaction.
. Save!
Here's a before & after of one I did:
It's harder to notice if your cover has a lot going on, but I promise lighting is absolutely everything in simpler covers; especially darker ones.
For that one I rotated it to better fit. It's way more noticeable on darker colours so I definitely recommend it if you're doing something dark, although the right one looks good on anything, I'm only demonstrating with one. Below are a whole bunch of different ones for you to try out on your own. I got all of these from google & do not know a direct source, so I can't credit anyone specifically but I do want to let you know that I did not make any of them!
These sparkles can be used as a superimpose-friendly alternative to the photoshop sparkle brushes featured in the last chapter.
This also looks super cool & can be either a lightning brush alternative or an add-on for a grunge type of effect like the on below
Hope this helps some people! I'll continue looking for more things like this to upload in future chapters.

A Snake's Life
The Afterlife isn't always what you think… The loving father of three children, Alfred lived a life of few regrets. He served his country far from home. He outlived his soulmate. He died alone. However, Albert's intentions about a peaceful eternity, reunited with his wife, are thrown out the window when a meddling god digs his fingers into Albert’s afterlife. The positive? He has a chance to make things right—to live the life that was so cruelly taken from him the first time. Reincarnating into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, and sassy ten-year-old elves, Albert worries he doesn't have a chance of surviving the three-hundred-years the god promised it would take to reunite him with his beloved. But if life has taught Albert anything it’s this: If something is worth having, it's worth fighting for. And he intends to fight.

My fiance is an alien
Please note that this is a Redux of the Original two novels, with better writing and artwork, I hope you all like it! After finding a girl surrounded and harassed hoodlums on his way home from work jack did what any man should do, and beat the shit out of them. But how was he supposed to know that a random act of kindness would lead to a misunderstanding that would get him engaged to the girl? Oh, and there is the fact that she is an alien. The question now is will he be able to survive his soon to be in-laws, and the rest of the galaxy he never knew existed? Author's note: this is going to be my take on the standard ecchi harem like To Love Ru, except there will be more action, and the male main wont be a pussy who doesn't know it when the girls are coming on to him. So expect the Main to be a man who can stand up for himself and those he loves, also sex, probably lots and lots of sex.

Up In Space
New chapter every other day Iain Compton never planned to be abducted by an alien spaceship. It just… happened. And now he’s been awakened 22,000 years in the future and half a galaxy away by a pair of oddly human seeming beak nosed aliens and a space ship A.I. that seems to have more than a few screws loose. Oh, and then there's this gorgeous alien woman who he probably shouldn’t trust at all. His plan is to find a way home to Earth, even if its unlikely to be remotely the same; to find a better class of companions among an often strange and inexplicable galactic community, at least one who won’t use him or sell him out at the first opportunity; and to do something about the parasites in his brain who are supposed to connect him to a library the size of the galaxy, but seem to only be telling him that almost everyone and everything he comes across wants to kill him. But at least he can still send tweets.
