Very cool! Who did the art work on your model? Or is what was manipulated in PS?

The rich, warm color tones are great, the composition creates a subtle diagonal, it is quite painterly. There are many areas of interest, well done.
How did you do it? |

| It almost looks as if there are nude women within the design on her skin. How cool would that be? If you can get a layer of several nude women curled up and sprawled and fit them into the shape of her skin...using their images as the texture under texture...hmmmm |

| Very compelling image! Beautifully rendered with 'dark' (not color but mood) tones. Good job! |

How did you achieve this? Is this some sort of plugin that inserts these patterns over sections chosen with magic wand or something? Very cool looking. Please explain how you achieved such interesting creations.

thank you for all the nice responses...
this is how i did it:
there is a nude picture i have taken.. i have started off with that image.. i copied it into a new layer and blended with overlay.. i brought in 4 different high resolution textures i have found.. i have put them in each seperate layer with different blending modes.. mostly color burn and overlay... i embossed one of the textures and added as a multiply layer and adjusted the layers only to show shadowed areas.. this gives it a nice 3d look in the cracks.. i have layer masked all the layers and only let the parts show that i wanted in each layer.. and adjusted levels curves and hue in each layer.. after that flatened image. cloned out imperfections and one more levels and curves and hue adjustment.,. i added a sephia filter as the last touch and sharpened it.. and experimentation with diofferent layer blending options and layer masks is what is necessary to achieve a nice looking effect..
thanks again to all who have responded..i greatly appreciated..

Excellent, what a fantastic bit of PS work (as well as a great initial photo I am sure as well).
Thanks for the heads up on how you did it Theo, I'll have to have a play around with that as I absolutely love this!

I've looked that the photo several times today, trying to make up my mind what it is that really keeps drawing my attention. At first, I really didn't think I liked it. But I keep finding myself drawn back to it, looking at it more closely, and now I know I really do like it. The colors are subtle and artistic, and the patterns look very much like tattoos, which I find fascinating anyway. I really think you've outdone your recent trend with this one. Very, very good work. Thank you for sharing! ;o)

That's wonderful Theodore. I've not had time to be here much, stopped in, checked the forums, and found this gem.
I think you would be interested in Jim McNitt's work. He evolved this incredible style over the course of the his upload over at usefilm. You've got something comparable here, which is my highest compliment.
Check it out: Jim McNitt's Portfolio at Usefilm

Great effect!
Maybe if you have the time you can post a How'd They Do That? Tutorial.
I'm sure a lot of people would like to experiment with this technique.

And it is quite obvious that this is 'mixed media' shall we say? So I don't think that photographic integrity has much relevance here. I like it, too, by the way!

I LOVE the Picture, It is definately more "Mixed Media" than Photograph, however isn't that what Digital photography is all about -- Digital ART? -- Keep pushing the limits dude - AWESOME!

I really like it, at first glance i thought it was a photo of a painting.

| I think it is great art. Better then just simple photography, which by itself may be a piece of art. Imagination is the clue. |

No. But, capturing an image digitally is surely a great resource for photography, and in this case for art stemmed from photography.
