Dave LaRonde Nov 20, 2012 7:25 PM (in response to reindeer4)You said "images", correct? As in stills, correct? You'll be better of tacking this job in Photoshop.

Rick Gerard Nov 20, 2012 7:45 PM (in response to reindeer4)If it's video you're going to need to learn how to do motion tracking. Depending on the shot you could use Mocha AE or AE's point tracker. Then you're going to need to learn to use Liquefy.
If they are still images I'd go with Liquefy in Photoshop. It take some real finesse to make these kinds of manipulations look realistic.

reindeer4 Nov 20, 2012 8:17 PM (in response to Rick Gerard)Thanks for the replies.
In this situation, I'm just talking about stills.
After some experimenting, I've found the Mesh Warp and a tiny bit of Bulge can work for some photos in After Effects, while the Puppet Warp and Liquefy are useful in Photoshop. None of these (at least in my hands) are as simple or consistent a solution as I'd like, but in combination they're good enough to give me better results than using unprocessed stills.
Thanks for the suggestions.
