nice work! g l

Very impressive work!

Spooky! He seems dangerous in his youth.

Nice job! Just one suggestion: put some shading on the eyeballs.

Very impressive work. Good handling of the liquify tool. Personally I would have left a bit more of the original skin colour show through, especially with the very strong eye colour, but it's awesome work.

I like this alot!!.. good work.
Very cool source image to start with.

changed the shadowing in the eyeballs...also added some bloodshot veins.
Sorry, but i like the deep contrast of the desaturated skin and the saturated eyes, so i'm not changing that. But thank you for the suggestion, and the amazing compliment, widiar. This was a fun contest.

and yes, skeletor, i've got some great reserves of stock images for just weirdness. Thank you.

And Erikuri, Nator, Heinrich and neeraj55 ...Thank You so much for the compliements!
