Over all, I'm not very good with abstract art, so I basically just tried to match the shading of the selfie I used to make the mask for the border.
I also had already removed all the backgrounds I needed to before the tutorial was sent. I tested the methods to see if they could improve the results but found they didn't do so.
I ended up with 36 layers, 4 of which contained only text.

PROJECT 2 : Esoteric Self Portrait (layers, layer masks, color adjustments)
PROJECT 2: Create an Esoteric Self Portrait using at least 25 layers to express the real you in this project. What does Esoteric mean you ask (read below): The image should be 8 x 10 amd 300 dpi
adjective
- intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.
Self-portrait. /ˌselfˈpɔːr.trɪt/ uk. /ˌselfˈpɔː.treɪt/ a picture, photograph, or piece of writing that you make of or about yourself.
This self portrait should express who you are and what makes up you as a person. Using collage techniques create a visual depiction of yourself that expresses more than just your visual self. Start with a photo of yourself as the basis for this project and build layers on top of that image. Using various techniques of color adjustments, transparency, layer modes, brushes, and erasers to create this artwork.
-Use selection tools (marquee, lassos, and wand) to extract photographic elements from their background
-Use layer masks to reveal only selected parts of a layer
I would review all the quick videos under the photoshop help _ they are short and give good information especially selections and masks
SELECT AND MASK by TUTVID __ this is a good one

This is my character from DND across the homebrew filled
game of Curse of Starhad. They are a custom species with some characteristics of kitsune, ender-men and eldritch horrors.
The images of them are ordered from newest to oldest.
I did not realize how thoroughly I attempted more than I could accomplish, thus the hasty backgrounds and exchange of items. I had much more planed. I didn't git to make their eyes look like they glow nor a list of other important things
