Hm its a lot of Photoshop Magic… but also a lot of handwork…
Let me try to explain my Process:
I started to build the Comp from Photos in Photoshop. after thatb i printed the Image and Traced everything with a pen on another Page, here I illustrated everything else (you might have noticed that some Characters are not in commonly availeble Poses… like Luke for example)
- you can see this Pen scribble if you look at the Details shoot in the first page.
After the Illustration was Scribbled on Paper I scanned the Pic an loaded it to Photoshop… the Coloring was then an mix from Photos and Handcoloring…
For the Photos I used a mix from this:

and this:

to blend them with the handcolored stuff…
also I overlayed my sketch to give it a even more hand illustrated style
Also I changed the Lights and Shadows of the Photos and my handcolored stuff to fit togehter… one of three layers for that you can see here:
hope that helps… if I would want to do all the work just in Photoshop, I think I would still experiment with does Tutorials above. 😃
