I come bearing two tutorials.
Tutorial Five
Basic Information can be found at my third tutorial,
here. Start with your image, I got a picture of Hilary Duff from
Hilary Drama, crop it to 100x100 pixels.
Duplicate your base image, set to "Screen" at 50% Opacity.
>>
Duplicate base image again, drag to top, and set to "Soft Light" at 100% Opacity.
>>
Duplicate that Soft Light Layer, leave at 100% Opacity, but desaturate. (For Photoshop Shift+Ctrl+U)
>>
Well now we're getting somewhere. Now for some color layers.
Make a new layer, fill with #b9feb0, set to "Color Burn" at 70% Opacity.
>>
Make another new layer, fill with #030f1c, set to "Exclusion" at 100% Opacity.
>>
Now take this texture
(Sorry, I don't know where it's from), and set to multiply.
>>
Sorta in the way isn't it? Let's fix that.
Rotate the texture 90degrees clockwise. (To the right).
>>
Now I suppose it looks fine, but I want the bigger end at the bottom. Flip the texture vertically, and there you have it..
>>
Now go back to the bottom, sharpen your base.
That's it.
Add brushes and text, and you're finished!
And your result should be something like mine:

Tutorial Six
Start with your image, I got a picture of Lindsay Lohan from
Lindsay Drama, crop it to 100x100 pixels.
Duplicate your base, set to "Screen" at 100% Opacity.
>>
Duplicate the Screen layer, and leave it all as is. (You might need to change the opacity depending on the picture.)
>>
Duplicate the layer one more time, but set this layer to "Soft Light" at 50% Opacity.
>>
Now, fun with color.
Make a new layer, fill with #cffeff, set to "Color Burn".
>>
Make a new layer, fill with #031717, set to "Exclusion".
>>
Now take this texture
(Sorry, I don't know where it's from), and set to multiply.
>>
Now go back to the bottom, sharpen your base.
That's it.
Add brushes and text, and you're finished!
