Getting the jar effect to work right can be tricky. I tried a few different ways to do it on this page, and I think all three worked just fine.

(Technical Photoshop discussion: Mostly just variations on the same theme, cutting out a jar image and putting it on a layer over the character, then playing with the opacity and blending options. In a couple of cases I control-clicked the character layer to select its borders and then masked out the rest of the jar overlay, but in others I just left the glass piece in place and made the levels such that it basically merged with the background.)
