Someone made a Princess Leia reference to Nel (wearing big headphones) in a thread about one of her recent radio appearances weeks ago. So I ran with it...

Thanks NJ- and I gotcha, it's been awhile since I've been through that thread I forgot who made the reference until now...

How I did it:
First I did a search for a leia pic, but I ended up with some photo of an unknown girl with Leia hair because it was good quality. Then I grabbed a Nelly face that would merge well with this girl's head. I blended Nelly into the head and skin with the eraser tool. (tweaking the brightness/contrast/hue/saturation can help to match skin tones too).
The rest was making a border in grey, and using the burn & dodge tools to darken and lighten areas of it- to give it a metallic effect. I used a Star Wars font I already had (called "Jedi Solid"), then used a light blue outer-glow effect on the text. Voila!

(EDIT: PS- there's a haiku for you in the other thread)

Wow talk about an easy way to give the wrong impression with words! I totally forgot about the ? usage. (and this font doesn't have that character)

I did some fixing, using an accent from a ? from the Ariel font, which I cut off and slapped on...
