if you want less morbid subject matter, try things like blending two photos, or inserting a foreign object (more blending i guess)… it’s also really freaky to get two similar pictures of family members and align them, then combine different pictures… e.g the eyes of one person on the other face
this sorta stuff gets you used to masking, colour adjustment and basic patching and it’s funny too… 😛
