It's OK Mama...
Well, not really. It’s been a tough day.
BUT…
It’s not permanent. Just submitted this for a 'meet the members' gallery in an art community site group I'm a member of.
I went for this new look as the requirement was for some kind of processing to be done on the face, and I’d never done texture layers before…
So thought, let’s kill two birds with one stone.
Or rather… let’s burn off all my layers of skin with one vat of sulfuric acid !!!
I found a royalty free high resolution image of some peeling paint in an on-line image bank and tried various Photoshop layer blending modes with a self portrait till I got something that really scared me. Of course, the selfie I started with was already scary enough...
If I scared anyone else I’m really sorry.
If I didn’t, I’m really disappointed :-))
Original SP as well as background sky: Canon EOS 5D MkI, EF 28-80 USM. Layer processing done in CS3.
