I'll respect of every soldier

haha cool idea

Nice mood. I confess that I feel like the wimpy-edged crosses in the background look more vampirish than an homage to the fallen, however. I think crisp, military edges on the crosses would be more compelling.

great

Nice one, it's a great tribute for all those heroes that lost their lives in any war.

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!
erikuri....he is a bit evil at times.

Now this is wicked-cool!! Reminds me of "Lost Boys" vampire boy. Your details and additional features of making an immortal creature of the night are exceptional. Well done and GL!

Incredible!

Thank you all so much for such wonderful comments on this. I had a lot of fun...and my crazy model is really happy with the nice things you've all said. He's quite proud of his evil self.

I have a crush on her, author....bite me and I am yours.....

I feel fangs are a little transparent, and she needs a paler skin tone... But whole image is very cute, GL!

Good concept, but I agree with erikuri.
