I'm curious as to how you achieved the facial effects. They are wonderful! Did Photoshop have a Liquefy filter in 2000? If you have time, I'd love to know. The overall impression is quite stunning. An especially nice touch is the stark realism of the eyes.♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Denice! The image is a combination of a rendered head and torso done using a consumer 3D software called "Poser" and a photograph (of me - which is why the eyes look so real). The rendered image was created by forcing Poser's parameters for one of its standard figures to higher and higher values until the underlying math stopped making "sense" and the image more or less exploded!
