How are you achieving these wonderful effects? It looks like you have a marble texture layer above a posterized picture of the woman. If so, what blending mode are you using for the marble layer? And how did you go about adjusting the colors on the woman? Levels? Curves? Channel mixing? As usual, your work continues to shine brightly in an otherwise mediocre ocean of commercial design (explanation: It fucking kicks much ass!).

a complete explanation..

i took the original image of a face. duplicated it. desaturated the original. set the colored duplicate to overlay. i didn't do that for the color, so much as for the contrast between light and dark that it creates.
then i made a new layer, filled with a yellowish color, and set it to color blending mode.
the veins are actually a blue marble texture that i have. i adjusted the hue and saturation to a nice dark red, and set it to overlay. then i erased it around the jawline, temple, forehead, and nose, to create shading.
the lips, eyes, and eyelids are airbrushed at a low opacity, and set to color (the lips are on two layers).

more subtle details were added by other textures (one overlay and one soft light) to create the color distortions and imperfections on the skins. that's what gives it the kinda scratchy/blotchy feel
