Oh what. Officialism already? Gratz. Anyways, I have quite struggle for the blending and lightning effects, either there isn't enough shine, or that I can't find the right shape. Also the glow for the lightning effects are hard to control. Maybe a tutorial on that.

i know one way to make an easy metal effect, i can make a tut :P

hopeman, thats just layering shades of grey.

BenDover; Thanks for that, save me some googling
Metal has enough tutorials on the internet but in fairness thats not the kind of metal that works well on a head texture. I'll see what i can do tutorial wise.

CrusaderV; Blending of shapes, do you mean? So, general flow of the texture?
Also lightning, yes? Not lighting. Confuddling.

hopeman2; see above comment.

iv used the noise/distort tutorial on a head befor, turned out ok.
you make a nice big metal template, then sort of cut elements out of it for the head.
if u wanna make it more suitable tho, you can always just blur it some more and increase the contrast on the gradient, should work well enough.

Can someone come out with a tribal tutorial, I would really like to do those

How about a tutorial on high-quality shading? I mean not with a filter but hand made, I have trouble with those.
