2. I filled the background with black and then added this photo. 

3. Create a new layer and use the gradient tool >Forground to transparent > Radial gradient and the color white. I used the tool in the bottom right of the image.

4. Create a new layer and use the gradient tool again this time make sure the ‘Reverse’ box is ticked and use black. Use again in the bottom right for something like this.

5. Place all layers in a group. (highlight all and hit ctrl+G) and then rename ‘BACKGROUND’

6. Get your image. I’ll use Jack’s pretty face from this image. ;-)

7. Resize the image, flip the image horizontally, and erase the background. Next, if you have ‘Topaz Labs’ use Topaz Clean to get a smoother look. If you don’t have that. Use the ‘Smudge tool’ and smooth out the skin. After you’re finished. Sharpen.

8. Duplicate the layer. With the bottom layer of Jack, you want to go to Filter > Liquify and stretch out his face like this. 

9. Add a white layer mask to the top image and a black layer mask to the bottom. 

10. Download and load into PS Debris Brushes by DacManiac . Pick a brush, open the ‘Brush Panel’, click the ‘shape dynamics’ box and match it up with this. 

11. Hide the bottom image of Jack and with black as your foreground color chip away at the side of the top image of Jack’s face until you have something like this.

12. Show the bottom image of Jack and this time with a white foreground color click use the brush on the layer mask to reveal the ‘debris’ 

(If you’re still confused on exactly how to get this effect here is a video tutorial)

13. Create a new layer and with the dropper tool get the color of his skin and use the debris brush and add a little more ‘dust’ to the debris. Do this for several colors from the original Jack image. 

14 Create a new layer above your Jack layers and with a round brush pain the iris of Jack’s eyes white. Set the layer as ‘Overlay’. Duplicate the layer.

15. Create a new layer and set to ‘Overlay’. With a round ‘fuzzy’ brush paint highlights on his face. Just a small line will work. 

16. With a smudge brush, smudge out the white to blend it. 

17. Use images of cracks. Set them to ‘Multiply’ and resize them. 

18. Create a new gradient layer and set it as ‘Soft Light’  Foreground color: f5af70  Background color: 290a59

Duplicate the layer and set the top gradient as ‘Subtract’ and the opacity at 42%

Add your text.

19. I used these PSD’s for coloring. 1 | 2 | 3

PSD 1 is set as ‘Pass through’ 100% PSD 2 is set as ‘Pass through’ 73% (I also went through and adjusted some of the layers in the coloring folder by unticking a few of the layers.)

20. Greate a gradient layer. Black to white. Set layer to ‘Hard Light’ and set the opacity at 51%.

Then add the 3rd PSD. Set as ‘Pass Through’ at 100% opacity.  (I also went through and adjusted some of the layers in the coloring folder by unticking a few of the layers.)

Aaaaaaaand we’re done! (I hope you guys can follow this. Sometimes I suck at explaining things)
