Excellent...IMHO just a hint of color would make this better, but it's still a great job!

Thank you for your hint. Actually I tried the color version before deciding to convert it into BW. This one is more impressive in the aspect of showing the depth of thinking.

Fantastic image.. super creative! High marks

Great work!

This is extremely clever...very well done!

Fantastic idea

I agree, this has far more impact as a b/w than it would in or with color.

Cool effect

Thank you guys. I was worrying that this work doesn't show the true droste effect by its definition because we can't see the infinity here but my idea is we can imagine that by other angle, it's absolutely infinite. Now I feel much more confident ^^

It's true that you can't SEE the inifinity, but it still is. In inifinity, you can never see the end, even though you still know that it's there.

You can't see the end of the infinity but that's because you covered it up. Clever idea. GL!

Congratulations on the top-three place!

Congrats!

grats

Thank you, my friends !!!

Gratz! Very awesome picture and I'm glad this got to the top 3.

One of my favourite artists on the site.... congratulations.

Body is blurry comparing to the other parts...

Dada da daa da da.... Its Wood Man!! lol... cool

funny, i dont see that this man has wood :P, guess you cant show that on a family site though can you

Use Edit/Transform/Distort to get the goggles to fit better, and try to color match the lenses. Also think about making a strap to hold them on...

sooo weird :P i like it

Thanks for the feedback CMYK46 and Jellopudding. I will see what I can do. I'm not sure if I still have the PSD saved. An accident.

awesome

Thank you youri2323

Nice....but work on the goggles...

Nice...

cooooooooooool!

Displacement map would make the contour of the scales more realistic...

agrees with CMYK. You should even try dodge and burn and liquefy to shift the texture to the curves of his face. Right now it looks very flat.

put the scales pattern on a fresh layer, set it to overlay or scroll threw the options and see what looks best, maybe even change its colour a little via (ctrl U on pc or cmd U on a mac) before using burn and dodge for extra detail. Great idea though, also different from the rest too. GL

big eyesssssss!!

Nice work.....

i think i would've used some more time chopping

lol..
