Now that the artistic part is done, its all procedure.
First... Select a render you want to use. Then simply drag and drop to the grunge background you just made.

Now that the render is there press CTRL+SHIFT+U, to make it grey-scale (all grey).

Now for some color. Go to Layers>>>New Adjustment Layers>>>Color Balance.

Now click on your render layer, then click add vector mask.

Start randomly and SLOWLY click around the edges of the character until he is blended in like so.
