Butts Happen: did you ever know, you're my tragic hero?

TV style scanlines! This was just as simple as the halftone tutorial these people did, and the effect is just as amusing. I think I could have used a better photograph for mine, though.
These people know some sinister looking children, seriously.
My version:

This wasn't a very realistic smoke effect, but I've never used Liquefy before so that as an interesting experiment.
Once I'd gotten tired of smearing around smoke, I added some effects of my own and called it good.
My version:

Well this tutorial is basically insane. I tried to do it, then realized it would take way more hours than I was willing to donate, and ended up cutting out a good chunk of the work in the middle. It's a different result, but I'm not displeased, at least.
My version (with a bonus! I altered one of the steps to use what I learned in the smoke tutorial!):

This has some interesting techniques -- again, I didn't learn anything, but I enjoyed watching the artist put all of them together in interesting ways. -- No, hang on, I lied. I realized that I can use the warp/distort options on a single brush stroke. That's brilliant. I've never thought of doing that before.

Pretty simple, pretty straight forward. Applying makeup in Photoshop.

A beautiful tutorial, and some useful information! If you've ever wanted to recreate the Shroud of Turin on, say, your curtains, but don't want to get them stained? Here you go!
