Most certainly looks like decay. The nose of your model is uncomfortably large. The eye doesn't give the impression of decay but rather of some sort of demonic possession - which ties in nicely with the soul angle.

Very intersting technique and most certainly not a pretty shot. I think it fits the title very well though.

I have skin balm that will sort out half your problems;0)

Seriously though, the pose you have adopted runs your nose right alongside your fingers and really does draw attention. I know this is not meant to be a flattering image but it was unsettling - and here I am changing feet so to speak.

I think this is really cool- your nose ain't THAT big :P This is creepy but it's a really awesome effect.

Man I tell you. Chicks. They always say that size doesn't matter. And just to clear it up now - if every thing was in proportion you'd have a schnoz like an elephant ;0)

Hope that's pay back for the unintentional rude comments

there is a photo of me in one layer.. and about 6 different layers top of that with different textures.. most of them are blended with color dodge some of them with overlay.. some of the textures were copied into another layer and embossed and desaturated and applied as overlay with different transparencies.. i masked eacha dn every layer just to let what i want to show through.. i did a lot of dodging and burning and levels and hue adjustments to make the colors all match and shadows to all match.. and after that i flattened. and applied a warming filter at about 75 percent to give it a nice tone..and that is about it..it i tedious work.. but i love this kind of effect..

they are just high resolution textures that i used to collect when i was a 3d animator.. now i realized i can use them with photoshop too..:)
they definately arent photoshop textures.. but i am sure same effects might be achievable with photoshop textures also.. might just take a lot longer..

Oh no fair! you and your 3D animation experience. I really like the pic...looks part man part statue. Could be neat to play with photos of textures too.

If you are not already aware there is a site called deviantart where a lot of dark art is created, shown, and critiqued, including some very good tutorials. They also have a lot of photomanipulations.

Really unusual. I do like the textures and the colors, especially the eye color. Impressive! :o)
