After seeing how @opheliafu, @meesterboom, @spaceginger and many more, shared their collaborative art together with the steps of how they did, I decided to make an entry where I explained how I did mine.
First, with the help of Google, I searched for "Big" images with the possibilities of "Reuse them with Modifications", keywords "woman face" and "flower of life".
Already in Photoshop the first thing I did was trim the woman and separate it from the background.
The next step was to achieve a complete background. I did it very fast thanks to the "Content Aware" tool of Photoshop.
Having already these two main elements, I cut the area of the woman's eyes and applied filters to achieve a cartoon effect. The filters, from the Photoshop Filters Gallery, were "Cutout" and "Poster Edges".
The time came to put the eye that @everlove gave in to this Collaborative Art. I duplicated it and placed it behind the woman's cloak.
I duplicated the woman's coat and made a texture with the "Halftone Pattern" filter also from the "Filters Gallery".
And on top of that I also added a layer with a "Grunge" style texture.
It was time to start with the background. The first thing was to create a texture with the filter "Halftone Pattern".
And then add a "Grunge" style texture layer.
The next step was to add the Flower of Life behind the woman. The "Blending Mode" of the layer I put it in "Darken".
Well, I came up with a little parody of Walt Disney and I put two "Flowers of Life" behind the woman as if they were Mickey mouse ears.
The background was a bit empty, so I added a few elements inspired by the cover of the album "Aladdin Sane" by David Bowie. All these elements had the "Blending Mode" in "Overlay".
And to enhance the figure of the woman I ended up adding a shadow to separate it from the background and ...
Voila!
