Wind Waker (Zelda) Color textures

[EASTBEAST]

If you are familair with the zelda game windwaker, and have seen the art for it outside the game, I was wondering how to recreate the textures seen in the picture below. By the texture, I am refering to that grainy color. I do not own photoshop, but I own flash 8.

Thanks ahead of time!

to that grainy color.
grainy

Filter > Artistic > Film Grain

Make a new layer and fill it with a colour of choice, but do not choose black or white. Apply said filter. Afterwards play with blending modes (in your Layers panel) and set "normal" to something you see fit. Also try changing the opacity for maximum effect.

Double-post. Sowwy : <

If said filter does not fulfill your need, feel free to play around with other filters (such as Rough Pastels for example) to put on top of them. Always copy your base picture's layer though, so you'll always have a backup should you mess up.

Beware, take my advice lightly. Drawing a picture is fine, but just slapping filters on something for the sake of it is a no-go territory. A better way to do this though, would be to download textures and do the same thing, instead of filters. It looks less tacked on and feels more professional.

Tank you :)

Where do you download these textures?

Personally, I use CGTextures as my source. It's free to get an account and has tons of nice, big and detailed textures.

Thanks

my filter button didn't have the select option "Artistic" available. Is it somewhere else? It only had blur, glow, bevel, ect.. am I in the right place?

Also how would you get lines like the those?

Ouch, let's start this off real simple:

There's 2 ways to go with this: Make your top layer a filtered fill OR a texture.
Open your Photoshop file and make a new layer. If you want to use a downloaded texture, you paste it on that layer, if you want a filter effect, you use the fill tool with the colour you want. This will be your TOP layer.

This step is only if you want a filter: Go to the top of your screen and select Filter. There's a bunch of sub-menus there. Pick Artistic and then pick Film Grain. Play with the sliders that appear on your right.

Now you've got your top layer: go to the Layers panel on your bottom right corner and do what I said before. Above all your layers, you see the word "Normal". Change "Normal" into "Multiply" or anything that you see fit. Play with opacity. Don't touch the little "fX" button. That is a quick tool for other cheap tricks, mainly used for text.

Thanks for the advice, like I said in the description though, I don't own photoshop, I own flash 8... :(

get a film grain texture from somewhere, cgtextures may have some, set it to multiply or overlay, each is different slightly choose which one you want, then mess about with the transparency/alpha of that texture, for flash, making the texture a movie clip would probably help and make it easier to do these modifications
