For the images, just upload them of a hosting site, and do this [img>IMAGE URL HERE[/img> Replace the > with closing brackets. Good luck with your project :)
New update on where I am at so far. The reply feature looks different and the image inserted as an attachment and not like how the previous images show.
Desaturate, play with levels and curves in image adjustments, and then paint in scratches and such for where it should be shinier. you can use an image of scratches with color dodge if it helps.
Cant see, This is the second thread like this with image link, but no image. I think you gotta wait for the approval? Link it via drop box or imgur.com
(Anyone know how to properly attach an image? The Attach tag shows a lightbox link and the Img tag with the attached image's url as link does the same...)
looking at your images so far http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/7121/riddicknew.png looks the closest, but he needs a bit more cheekbone in that image
