Thought I'd start off by posting a link to a PS tutorial. Feel free to throw in a link or two that you like. Maybe something to spark some ideas, interests, and to help others out with their technique.

In my opinion, the website you talk about here is probably one of the best at the moment as far as Photoshop tutorials are concerned :

Then zoom in to the ear of the girl using the Zoom tool (Z) in the Liquify box. Zoom in to 400% for precision. When you’ve zoomed in, press W to activate the Forward Warp tool – this is the tool that we’re going to use to transform the human ear to an elf ear. Now we’re all set, let’s just follow the instructions on the image below.
