Original image


step 1 of 16

Cut out the chandelier and a piece of the bg.

Creation of Expedition 205.35 LAPD: Step 1

step 2 of 16

Rotate the piece of the bg so that the lines are perfectly vertical. Use the rectangular marquee tool to select the part you want to use, select inverse and delete the outer parts. Select inverse again, copy and paste the piece. Align the second piece. Merge the two layers. And repeat the last steps a couple of times.

step 3 of 16

Cut out pieces from the chandelier using the elliptical marquee tool. Paste in seperate layers. So you can use the new pieces later.

step 4 of 16

Use distort, perspective and warp (menu-edit-transform=>)
to edit the pieces from the chandelier. Use stamp for the neckpart. For the face darken(adjust brightness/contrast) and resize the chandelier, blur it(I used filter paint doubs) and smudge it into shape.

step 5 of 16

Transform the bg piece you created earlier and delete unwanted parts with the delete tool.

step 6 of 16

I dodged the leftside of the shape, and multiplied the rightside. Copy the head part, resize it and place it behind the model/shape. This gives an extra dimension/hairline to the model.

Transform the bg piece for the shoulder and breast parts. Use perspective and warp.
