Thinking about Half-Life.......
My self-portrait I've originally done for another "poster" idea that I've left abandoned.

how you get that paper-y texture/filter on your artworks???
It is prolly the effect of smoothly-applied grain on pictures and, with that, the tool that helps me to get that look is Glow Action by Studio 2am for Photoshop (i hate adobe, dont get me wrong!!)
I'm usually putting Lighten or Soft Light overlay mode for this "glow" layer to lay smooth and get that "Polaroid photo" effect, but always depends on context of the poster I'm editing! Plus, before the Glow action im fixing colors (especially midtones) with Camera Raw filter.
If needed - I'm adding another layer full of noise and setting it on Soft Light overlay mode, for 2%-8% opacity. However, it's not what I'm doin' often since it's gains image's size and I'm always going for <=5 MB (bc of Steam's restriction), but anyway.
"Limerence" was the first artwork where I've used this thingie, which was quite recently, but that got me to the point how my arts look like rn.
WOARGH RIH WWOOOOOH
didnt turn out EXACTLY as i wanted it to but i still like it :3
