Well, here was a pic manip challenge by BikerBot, the whole thing taking only a couple of hours, but a very beliveable pic. At least I think so...BB, your challenge has been met! ENJOY!!!
Hey BB...no, I don't use photoshop. I use a freeware version of PIXIA, and I do all of my final tweaks with UltimateFX. I work on a company computer, and dont have the resources to pay for PS. But I have adapted a pretty good method of using pixia to do just about anything I want. Try it...its free.
