Amazing creature
This is a bit of fun I had in photoshop after last weeks photoshoot in the forest. Two textures and lots of masking we have this lovely image.
It’s the first time I’ve tried doing anything like this and I’m happy with the results. A few people have said the eyes/lips are too prominent but this is how I wanted it. I was looking for a powerful stare from this ‘creature’. Below are the stages of processing:

If you’re wondering how I actually did all of this, you can download the file with all the layers intact and see how to do one of your very own. (the bottom group + ‘original’ layer are only there to show what I did in the early stages – this is why they’re turned off)

Hi Kyle, love it.
Not something I’ve ever played with either. Wouldn’t normally be my kind of thing. Nevertheless, brilliant work, very well executed.

Quite quite freaky. Fantastic processing but freaky all the same

Thanks guys!!
As I mentioned before, first time trying something like this, not my usual ‘style’

I’m hugely taken by the second image where her pale skin looks luminous against the forest floor. Now that’s my kind of model shoot!
