My name is Nightstorm and I 've started doing Photoshop first with Photoshop 7 and now have cs5. I do photography also though a lot of my Photoshop is done with images from the web. If I had the money I would have people pose for me but I do not. I'm completely self taught and only now am I doing a lot of cutting and pasting. Please let me know what you think.
The skull is 100% mine having taken the pic of the skull.

Hi and welcome to the forum nightstorm. Bear in mind this is an international forum and people wake and sleep at varying times. That and those that do may not wish to 
As for me I like the first image and the last one (on the right hand side).
I am not necessarily a fan of some of the style, it seems a little dated rather than retro, reminiscent of a 80's vibe with a 90's edge. There could also be some 'tightness' introduced into some of the strokes/warping. As mentioned earlier, the last image, the left hand side seems a little woolly and perhaps a little 'filtery'.
It's obvious you have some of your own style and technique and I don't pretend to like all genres, so keep on doing whatever makes you happy. Other folks will disagree with me.

Thanks! This is what I need . What do you mean by warping?? I don't know the term.

Your intentions are good, but avoid using filters and rather choose some masking/blending modes.
I don't know others, but when I see filter effects they look amateurish to me. Lot of people on the web don't have ideas on how to use them. They are making a small composition and after that stumble the filters until they achieve something that looks good. That is not art.

now on composits like that first one which ilike... maybe using a seemless technique would maybe work out nicely ....
