1)Make your base:


2)Sharpen the image. Filter>sharpen>sharpen:


3)Create a new layer and set it to color . Fill with a half and half gradient (I used #A0C4E0 for half and #A17E67 for the other):


4)Flatten the image and then sharpen once more. Take the blur tool (I got this from someone but I can't remember their sn :/) and blur the skin...avoiding the eyes/nose/lips:


5)Now using the same gradient except switching the colors to oposite sides make a new layer and fill with the gradient. Set to color at 75% opacity:


6)Now the oh so common blue exclusion layer ;) I filled mine with #021A3D and set it to 30% opacity:


7)Now flatten the image. Create a new layer and fill it with #370239 and set the opacity to 15%

8)Create a new layer and fill with #343902 set to color dodge at 29% opacity

9)save that image and open up a new one...I chose one on BJ hugging. Crop to 100x100

10)Create a new layer and fill with #011B2D and set it at exclusion

11)Flatten image. Copy image and past once desaturate it (image>adjustments>desaturate) and set it at screen 45% opacity

12)Resize to 39x39.Flatten image and copy and paste onto main images bottom left corner. Create a 1px border with #343902 set to multiply:


13)Flatten. Create a new layer and fill with #392A02 set to overlay at 35%

14)Flatten image. and select all but the lil pic than go to image>adjustments>brightness/contrast. Set the brightness to +30 and contrast to +20.

15)Than go to image>adjustments>variations and click less saturation 3x (second notch) 2x red,1x green,1x magenta.

16)duplicate layer and set it to soft light at 70%

17)Put text on image (color=#392A02 at 80% opacity) and added another 1px border but to the whole image in #392A02
