This tutorial will walk you through the simple steps used to turn a regular photograph into an interesting digital painting illustration, using Photoshop's Filter Gallery and the Smudge Tool. Depending on the photograph you choose, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to complete.
This week's wallpaper of the week is from a friend of ours, Eric DeFazio, also known as Koston101.
It looks pretty darn cool, and we are cheering that this dude will make some other cool wallpapers such as this. Enjoy!
