6:
Now that the artistic part is done, its all procedure.
First... Select a render u want to use. Then simply drag and drop to the grung background u just made.

7:
Make sure u get rid of any rendering color(the white around the character)
I recommend the Magic Wand Tool.

Now that the render is there press CTRL+SHIFT+U, to make it grayscale(all grey).

12:Now get a grunge brush and make sure your foreground color is black.
Start randomly and click around the edges of the character until he is blended in like so. I used 125 px at this part

13:
Now your pretty much done. Excpet i always add a 3PX Border and some effects or other brushes over the background.

I did not make this i simply edited it and made it better with pics.... and more.

Nice i'm going to try this out! :D Thanks! :D

I saw that tut...i think this is better i included the grunge brushes

I dont really like the outcome it just looks so plain

You Shouldnt Post It Like That Because People Might Rip From You(WizFX)

I don't really like the outcome. Too plain and some how doesn't look right to me. I think it could use a little bit more something in it.

The imgs dont load for me =/

doesnt look to cool man..
