This was so difficult to do. And I'm not happy with the results. However, here's what I did. Applied white and black makeup to model's face. Then applied glow in the dark paint to the white areas and onto a black plate. The idea was to have a face melting. Had to shine a bight light to make the glow in dark paint to show up. This effect did not last long. And then there wasn't enough light showing up.
I resized, cropped, lighting /exposure,hue, dodge/burn and sharpened.

This is very eerie and interesting..it fascinates me and I can't wait to see how you did it...back for second look..this is very appealing to me; looks like a tragic mask from a Greek play in a way.
weird shot.. not sure how you did it or what it is. seems awfully grainy, but probably because they way you shot it. dunno really how to rate this shot.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what to think. For meltdown, I would think a drip off the face would have completed the illusion and a puddle not so square more appropriate and believable. The lighting and color aren't bad, but the artifact is a little distracting.
