step 1 of 8

After isolating and brightening the coin a little I put it on the bottle using 3d>new shape from layer>wine bottle
then played with the settings in the 3d material window to fine tune the colors/opacity.

Next I did the same thing except used the ring shape rather than the bottle, also fine tuned a little.

step 6 of 8

Now I added the ring, bottle and coins to the devil image all as smart objects.( just in case!)
I added a red outer glow to the ring and eye coins and masked away his fingers on the bottle.
Also warped the eye coins to fit the sockets more naturally.

Next I used the magic wand to select his skin and created a new channel for the selection.
Then used the spray strokes filter on his body,
inverted the selection and used the texturizer filter on the remainder of the pic. (actually did them all on seperate layers, but you get the point)

Finally I dropped the opacity on the texture layer and used the body channel I saved earlier to add a craquelure filter to his body
( I wasn't happy with just the brush strokes )
That's it!
