Egyptian Image of Sekhmet - Various Artistic Versions

I decided to play around with the Egyptian image of Sekhmet from the Napoleonic Expedition I posted a few days ago. I'm still trying to teach myself Photoshop and thought this would be a fun image to experiment with.

I had a blast seeing how many different looks I could get from one image by just changing this or that in Photoshop.

This is the image of Seknmet after I colorized it in Photoshop

I used this saved image as the base for all the altered images below

I wanted to keep things simple by using the original image and altering just that; however there are thousands of combinations you can create by mixing a multitude of Photoshop options to get just that perfect image you want for your artwork.

 Here are a few examples where I used
multiple functions to get my end result.
 

The look of an old Fresco wall painting
 I started with the Exposure Image I had saved then

Image - Adjustments - Photo Filter - Orange at 46% - OK

Filter -Texture - Craquelure - Crack Spacing 16 - Crack Depth 9 - Crack Brightness 8 - OK

Filter - Distort - Glass - Distortion 2 - Smoothness 5 - OK

Then I changed the background to a light blue using the Paint Bucket Tool - Save

 The look of printed cloth - Burlap
I started with the Original Colorized Image I had saved then

I removed the background (made it transperant) using the Erase Tool
 (This allows me to alter the image alone without having a patterned background as well)
  ***
Image - Adjustments - Shadows/Highlights
Shadows: 99%  -  Highlights: 67%  - OK
Image - Adjustments - Photo Filter - Deep Red at 39% - OK

Filter - Texture - Texturize
Texture: Sandstone -  Scaling: 79%   Relief:  7%    Light: Top Left - OK - SAVE

 The look of an old statue
I started with the Original Colorized Image I had saved then

I removed the background (made it transparent) using the Erase Tool
 (This allows me to alter the image alone without having a patterned background as well)
  ***
Image - Adjustments - Selective Color
Colors - Select YELLOW
Cyan: 0%   Magenta: 0%   Yellow +48%   Black =87%
Method: Absolute - OK  (this gave the eyes depth)
Image - Adjustments - Photo Filter - Warming Filter (81) at 62% - OK

Filter - Texture - Craquelure
Crack Spacing: 87   Crack Depth: 3   Crack Brightness: 4 - OK - SAVE

The possibilities are endless!!!
