Here is the stock photo I found that should be perfect for this quote. I want to make him appear to be floating in a meditative nirvana-induced trance. So first things first, trace the figure's path to remove the background.
step 1 of 8
step 2 of 8
I basically want to paint in a warm starburst. Start by building layers of colors with a soft brush. Using various blending modes to achieve the best color.
step 3 of 8
Build more layers of color to simulate blinding warm light.
step 4 of 8
Make the selection from the path and copy/paste the figure off of the background, then paint it out.
step 5 of 8
Build more layers with the brush, then use smudge and blur to get the burst patterns.
step 6 of 8
Now, focusing on color, build more layers of star burst patterns.
step 7 of 8
Recoloring the outside with a blending layer.
step 8 of 8
Finally after softening the edges around the figure, fixing any sharp angles on the hair with smudge, and multiple layers of color bursts we get a warm rainbow of nirvana for the meditating floating dude.
Final result
