you're welcome
Yeah, it's not that easy with names in here. too many people with "stargate" in their names

I made a tut with Amanda Tapping in my latest style.

Spoiler:

open these two pictures and cute their bodies out. I chose a portrait and a pic of her lying, which makes composition easier. 1, 2

open a canvas 600x200, chose a bright colour from the pics ( I chose #f0e5e2) and fill the canvas with it.

add a new layer -> mark an arbitrary area with the freehand tool -> fill with #fbf8f7 -> LEAVE the selection of the freehand tool

add a new layer -> use a handwritten-text-brush with this colour #7c4d44
as you can see the brush only works within the selection. Now you can remove the selection. set layer mode on multiplication 70% opacity


now duplicate the layer under the layer with the brushes (which you filled with #fbf8f7) -> effects -> edges ->trace contour

layer mode->multiplication ->20% opacity


merge the layers without the background layer.

copy and paste Amanada's pics as new layers and sharpen them once.

add a new layer behind every amanda pic. Freehand tool -> roughly border Amanda's pictures and fil lthe area with #f4edea -> effects -> edges-> trace contour


new raster layer ->fill with #f1eded -> layer mode: soft light -> cut out a wide area in the middle of it -> trace contours and shift the layer between the two Amanda picture layers


copy the layer with the textbrushes and put it on top -> downsize it

add new raster layer -> select an area right above the small textbrush layer with the rectangle tool and fill it with #ffffff -> layer mode: soft light

merge all layers -> effects -> noise -> edge preserving smooth -> adjustment 4 -> sharpen the layer twice

layers-> adjustment layers-> colour balance layer ->

light2: -39; 14; -15
midtones: 52;-15; 29
shadows: 44;-10; 5

merge layers & duplicate them. use Gaussian Blur on the top layer and set it on soft light.

write Amanda with Saginaw

add a new vector layer, use the pen tool to add some lines in different widths with th same colour the text has, set it on multiplication, opacity 70% and it looks like this:
