Mutt, they're done by hand and using plugins. You can do it without plugins, since all plugins use things that exist in PS, but it would be too time consuming. For something fast and no plugins (I'm lying, I used noise reduction plugin first )





this last one use no plugins at all


the idea was to go as far as possible without painting and spending less than 5 mins per image, and as you can see, unless the initial image has a certain quality (in general, they have, your pics quality is beyond bad) it's impossible to make them without plugins in a reasonable time, you really need to combine plugins and then do hand adjustments (painting, airbrushing, whatever) to get that kind of pics
