Since I'm relatively new to photo-manipulation (my last manip before my erotic ones was making a friend's cat shoot laser) I was totally unaware of the vast amount of resources out there. While looking up some photoshop tutorials for ideas I came across a couple of really amazing places for photo manip resources...
deviantART
I was a member of deviantArt in its early days as an amateur photographer, left after breaking my camera and never really looked back. Now, deviantART has, appropriately so, become erotic art central! The amount of erotic art (and in all fairness cartoon porn) is staggering now.
Back on topic: there's a great stock photo section on deviantART that lend to some amazing source pictures. In fact I've sourced a fair few pictures a while back for playing later, and you've seen the first piece with Augmentation Mask. I had a proper look tonight in the actual stock section and downloaded some pieces with great potentials already, at full resolution as well!
CG Textures
This one I had no idea about, but the tutorial pointed to some smoke textures used (I was actually looking for visor effects when I landed on the tutorial) from this site. After a quick browse, the collection looks amazing. You only get 15Mb of free textures, but with careful selection that's pretty decent. I'll hopefully be able to incorporate some material soon!
bgfons
I found them while googling for some effects, free site. Looks like a really impressive collection actually!
Where do you guys get your source material from?
Thanks for sharing. If you want to know more sources you should probably post this on the board or so cause ATM you don´t have many followers as it seems. I can not tell you any sources since I´m not active in photomanipping anymore and when I was I did not used any external textures. I was doing a few breast expansion images where I used a frankensteining method to make the images look more real, cause the liquify tool many amateurs use isn´t good at all to do this.
