We usually provide a SBS so that people like me won't have to ask: What happened to the source?
Is it only the coat of arms on his shoulder ?

Sorry for the trouble of not posting an SBS. I am new and fully do not understand all the regulations and normal procedures of this site, and the coat of arms is the noticeable one, the eyes on the angel statue are coins, but is almost unnoticeable after all the tinkering I did, also there was another face in the torch, but all the tinkering made it completely unnoticeable. I always appreciate tips though.
People here are eager to help once they get what the author intended to do - that's why you can use the description . For ex. I see you have an overall pattern but is hard to understand how did you achieve it. Instead you can make it out of coins. You can experiment with masking the negative so that it looks like your image is made of different coins, stuff like that.
nice thinking and great title...best of luck author

Well I'd appreciate all the help I can get. And I completely understand what you are saying and I will start doing that from now on, and for this piece of work, i didn't apply any patterns. First off I spent a couple hours messing with my work, so there are no real clear steps since I kept going back and changing/adding or subtracting. But if you want I can try to go over all the steps I did.

To clarify on the "patterns", I actually merged all the layers at the end, and duplicated the product a few times and took a gaussian blur to one of them, and i used the twirl and wave distort filter on another layer. Which my original piece of the bottom layer with the blur and distorted layer above the original with the blending modes changed.
Had to do one in color. Was going to stay with full head until I realized how much the wife and son-in-law look like lady liberty and Abe... (5 years and 3223 days ago)
just between you and me.. you received WAY to low of score for this entry.. yes it could have been cropped but you really did a great job on this.. please don't let the low score on this effect your work.. (I get them all the time but I continue to endure)...
I feel ashamed that I didn't comment on this..but I'm always fighting the monsters.. good work all around

I liked the use of light, the color used and experiment result. Nice work. GL
