I have this concept in mind where I am holding an object, in this case it is a crystal, and i want to make it look like its a glowing orb of sorts. Pictures are attached.
The crystal is pink and triangular, so i thought it would be cool to have a beam coming out of the top point. I was thinking, in order to get the glow on my face, I'd hold a phone near my face with a photo of the color i wanted, but it turned out to be too brightly lit in the room i was using, so it didn't really transfer the way i'd liked. I was hoping that i could recreate it in photoshop but it is proving to be quite the feat.
So, in conclusion, I could really use some help in getting the crystal to glow and getting the light on my face as if standing next to a neon sign (or a neon crystal 
)
After that, I'd consider adding a light beam coming out of the top, and finally i'll try to transfer it to a new background so it's less distracting.
Maybe a composite? Blending styles?
Any help would be SO appreciated... none of the videos i've watched online have gotten me where i want to be.
