Skin Textures

Open the picture you want to manipulate. Go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > DESATURATE. Then go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > CURVES and pull the red curve until it’s similiar to the picture below. Then select the lips and go to curves and pull the blue and green curve to get the same color as below.
And now it’s time to fix the eye. Open a picture of an eye and select the centre of the eye. Paste the centre onto a new layer. Go to FILTER > LIQUIFY and strech the pupil. If you have an old version of photoshop yo can use the smudge tool instead, But be sure to put the opacity to 100%. Once you’re done making the pupil nice and long, drag the layer you made earlier over to your lizard picture. Now scale the eye to fit over the original eye by going to EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE. Desaturate the eye and adjust it in curves to get that green look. Use any color you want, but i think green is the best lizard eyecolor.
Paste a texture similiar to the one below over the picture. Change the opacity of the texture to 50% and put the layer in “Color Burn”. Then paste a picture of some cracked paint over the face (Light Green). Cut out the area with hair and eyes. Change the opacity to 50% and put the layer in “MULTIPLY”.
Paste a texture of a coral over image as seen below. Invert the coral texture and cutout the hair, eyes, and mouth. Then put the layer in “OVERLAY”. This is the point where you fine tune your layers. Maybe remove some light or dark spots and soften the edges of the lips, eye hair, etc.


other examples :
 


Light

  1. Open a image a forrest. In this one you need to know a little about how light falls, you can study different images with falling light to get better clue. Now, use the Polygon Lasso Tool and make a selection the way you’d like the light to fall. Create a new layer and fill it with white.
  2. Deselect and go to FILTER > BLUR > BLUR MORE. Then Press CTRL+F about ten times. Now adjust the layer opacity to 90% and put the layer in OVERLAY. You’re done.

Fire


  1. Open a picture of a flame with a black background and the picture you want the flame on 
  2. Place the flame on a new layer over the picture you want to apply it too
  3. Then put the layer in "SCREEN" Mode 
  4. Rezise and apply, You're DONE. (You can do this by going to EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE)
