Description I feel like dirt. So I decided to play with it.

Actually, no, it's make up. I was washing off my face from another concept that didn't exactly work... and something clicked. My hair was all wacky... the make up imperfect. Egads. It was wonderful. I'm all clean now, but part of me wishes I wasn't. Feels so gritty.

And what even weirder is looking at this. Is that me? Is that what I can look like? It's just all so strange. I can see in this what Sean sees in me. It's surreal, almost.

For this I used *carlzon 's Cross processing tutorial .
I also dodged my eyes to bring them out of shadow and burned my lips to make them less lifeless. Tthe only real digital editing I did was I used the healing brush tool to get rid of the HUGE bags under my eyes. Some of that is genetic, and the rest is insomnia.

See it also in black and white!

I give my full permission for *DeviantDolls to display this deviation in the club's gallery.

I liked this a lot better than the bw version. Not sure, why, though. Your eyes look fantastic, but the smudge around the neck is perfect.

philosophyoftime In reply to drRansom [2006-10-27 21:16:52 +0000 UTC]

I personally liek this version better, too. There's just so much more to observe. The black and white kind of loses some of the detailing the color can only capture. What specifically comes to mind is the red around the black surrounding my eyes. That was painful.

What?
And we can age accelerate them and program them genetically to wanna be your eternal servants. So you'll get like a huge army of your own clones who will look like you but be like 2 months old and all.

Wouldn't that be kickass?

Are your eyes actually golden, or is that just the lighting?

philosophyoftime In reply to madmurch [2006-10-26 15:01:07 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes they turn golden... But not like that. THAT gold was achieved by the techniques I used on the photo. It's an exaggeration more or less.
