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.

Make sure u get rid of any rendering color(the white around the character)

I recommend the Magic Wand Tool.

 

8:

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

 

9:

Now for some color. Go to Layers>>>New Adjustment Layers>>>Color Balance.

 

10:

Just mess with the bars until you get a color you like.

 

11:

Now click on your render layer, then click add vector mask.

12:Now get a grunge brush and make sure your foreground color is black.

Start randomly and <font color="red">SLOWLY</font> click around the edges of the character until he is blended in like so.

13:

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