This took forever to do, mostly because I had to redo it after a couple days, but I like the end result. All the images above are the source images, and the bottom picture is the final thing. There was a ton of changing the hues in this. For example, the retro pattern was pink and purple, but that didn't match with the rest of the colors, so I changed it to blues and greens. Also, my shirt looked ridiculous with a cat for a head, so I changed the color and just altered it in general.

Jeremy Renner is my favorite person, and he's gorgeous. The top image is the source image, and the bottom is the finished project. I sharpened his features and gave him some dust on his shirt. The text tutorial used worked out pretty well, the colors correspond with the colors in his picture. I had trouble selecting his hair, but by putting the beige outline on him, it masks the poor selection fairly well.

"Grunge"

I had to make like six passes on this, and the British man on the tutorial spoke so quickly, but I'm happy with how this turned out. I highlighted Benedict Cumberbatch's cheekbones, which is nice. I chose not to put a sepia tone over the photo because his eyes are too pretty for that.

Overproccessing

 I really loved this and I love Jeremy Renner, so I'm obviously really happy with this tutorial. Just by duplicating layers with passes on them gave this an effect I'm pretty happy with.

iPod Silhouette

 So I'm not going to lie, I kind of hated this. Also I chose a picture of myself that was only a headshot so I didn't exactly see a good place to put the ipod.

Brushes

I was told to scribble around like a kindergartener, so I did, then "posted my masterpiece".

Eyepatch

 This took three years, at least. On the the tutorial, the text was mostly edited in Photoshop, but it was pretty inefficient, so instead I got to use Illustrator again (yaaay) but it still took a lot of time. That could also be because I decided to choose the word "eyepatch". I really like how it turned out, though!
