Original image


step 1 of 5

First I started with looking for a womens face and deleted all parts of the photo I didn't need.
Then I used a part of the contestphoto and made a pattern of that.
Then I selected the pixels of the face, inversed them and went back to the pattern (of the source image) and deleted the selected area.
I overlayed it on the face and selected some parts and warped the layer so it desn't cover the whole face.
After this part I cut a part of the original contest image and overlayed it again.

Then I searched for a hat and warped it in the shape I wanted.
I used the complete contestphoto on the had and warped it in the same shape.
After that I tryed to surround it arung the head of the woman by selecting parts, copy them and past them and of curse warped them.
Then I used the solid color filter and selected the part of the head to make the colour nicer to the womans face.

step 3 of 5

I used a photo to make a neck with rings and cut out the background, resized and warped it to make it fit under the face. Putted some shadows on it.

Then I used as a background image a woman on a throne and cut out the hair.
Then I used the clone tool to fill the transperent area and blurred it a bit.

step 4 of 5

I made a selection of the hands and copied it on a new layer.
I selected a colour of the womans face and used the solid colour filter to give the hands the same colour.
I painted the nails on the mask with a grey colourtone to make them lighter and painted the ring black to give that the original colour.

I selected the dress and made a new copy of that. I made an other selection of the original contestphoto and made another pattern of it. This time a little bit rougher.

step 5 of 5

Again I used the contest image and resized it to the sides of the throne.
I cut out the parts that weren't needed, like the shape and the leaves.
I used the blending mode colour burn to lay it over the throne (opacity 84%).

Then I made the picture black and white and coloured some parts in the maskfilter.

Then I used a yellow filter and started to fix some mistakes by using the blurtool and the clone tool.

I used again a new pattern of the original contestphoto to give the white pillow some effects.

At the end I used the philter poster edges (twice) (edge thickness 2, edge intensity 1, posterization 3).
