The reason the Saban looks better is because it started as a statue. So the poster had to match the color to of the statue to the the color of the Sphinx. That is easier than an actual face.
Now, if I were to do this, I would have masked it differently. I would have taken the hair out and just replaced the Sphinx's face with Beamer's face. Match the face color to the rock color and blend the edges. Now, if you really wanted to take it up a notch, you could look for rock texture and overlay it on the face (in paint.net, double click on a layer in the layers toolbar to change the entire layer properties). This would provide the most realistic effect however it would take some time to find the best source image for texture.

I've been using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 but it seems the free Gimp program and paint.net are more popular. I've installed Gimp an tried it little but before I dive in, which of these are most effective? Would it be better to go with paint.net?
