This is primarily photoshop with one outside source. I used smart sharpen on the mask image and worked to marry photos with illustration. Even the background is from the contest source. Combination of noise and texture filters with gaussian blurs created the textures. (5 years and 3803 days ago)

His face is just perfect. Good luck again!
one thing if I may suggest is to make the ash look a little lit up although it does look like it's just chillen there like he's some cool cat :P so I don't really know was just a thought wonderful job author
Any flaws?.. not really, this is not only fun, but very clean too - maybe some hair strains need a bit of blur to bend in with the rest, but maybe not, to make the image more different. So - no real suggestion from me, because the image is GREAT!!! Good luck, author 
super wonderful.. exceptionally well done.. good luck!!!
But where's the SOURCE??? (HAA HAA HAA HAA)
(oh I kill me
incredibly awesome!
Pro work indeed
loved this last time, still love it
Hahaha! Cute!
GL
great job
Exquisitely done a real master class!!
Ahhhh how much I loved and still love this one!!!
Soooo good to see this one back!
It's just fantastic! Good luck 
I haven't seen this one the first time....but....it is an awesome job indeed! It can very well work as a game or cartoon concept! I only wish you were more explicit in the SBS, so that we could all learn how to get to do such a great image! I would personally be interested in an official tutorial, as I would like to learn how to give some of my images such a great glow and such perfect shadows and highlights! Best of luck!
VVOVV!!!
Thank you all for the kind comments. Nellista asked to see a more detailed SBS and so I've added several more steps. You were right to ask for more detail, sometimes we forget the purpose of the SBS is to share technique and methods with other members. I hope this is more informative. Thanks again!
great image!!!
Looks very nice. Good!
very... very... very... ahhh wonderful...
this is amazinly grt...............................................
Congrats, Spaceranger! It's really a gorgeous picture!
congrats, but you should credit vicspa somewhere in the description don't you think?
congrats
Congrats again Mike, awesome work
CONGRATS AMIGO!
Congrats great work!
Congratulations Spaceranger
congrats!
congrats!!
Congrats
Thanks to all for the comments and congrats. Sigi said I should credit vicspa. The clown with a puppet has been done many times by many artists. In the old PST vicspa made one and so did hyperorbit. It's a fun concept and it's different every time. Truth be told vicspa has been my friend and colleague for more than 15 years. He introduced me to this site and has taught me much about photoshop, I owe him a great deal.
Congratulations for 1st
Great!
