Start with your 100x100px base.

Here's how I prepped my base(s):
1. Duplicate base, and set to Screen (opacity 70%).
2. Duplicate the base again; bring to top, and set to Soft Light (opacity 20%)
Note** You may need to adjust the Screen layer depending on how bright/dark the pic is.

Now for the coloring:
1. Make new layer, and fill with a dark blue (I used #090a2c). Set to Exclusion (opacity 40%)
2. Make new layer, and fill with a dark brown (I used #7b2e00). Set to Exclusion (opacity 18%)
3. Make a new Curves layer, and put it to these settings:
