Thunderdon, unfortunatly (or fortunatly if you're a control freak!) in Photshop many of the best effects are accomplished by painstakingly applying it by hand. Like Slynky says, if you're willing to do the work... Life in Photoshop (especially doing "digital jiggery") is ALOT eaiser if you have a digital pad (i use a WACOM both at home and work) because it allows for a more natural way of drawing. If you are up to it, the post work can add that kick to your "falls" image that i know is in your head...
