Just messed around with those tutorials for a few hours, and this is what i got :)
Only one stock image was used, and that was for a texture brush (as you'll see if you read the tutorials)
Note: You should definately check out his gallery at this location, i've already got all his images rotating on my desktop :) (knocked my own work off :O )
Enjoy!
*EDIT*
If anyone would like to try add some colour to this and re-submit, i'll be more than glad to send you a B&W copy of this in a high-quality format :)
