Description
Illustration recently completed for a WPT Poker magazine cover. 'Jonny Bax' is one of a new breed of online poker players - the cyborg enhancements were added to emphasize the technology/advances in online poker playing over traditional.
A photo of Jonny was supplied and mapped to a geomtery head. The head mesh was tweaked to match Jonny's features, and then the cybernetic apparel was modeled and added. Finally, the head mesh was used as a shadow catcher, and the subsequent shadows were overlaid in a Photoshop composite of the original photo.

drzorn - as I said in the blurb - the head mesh was only used as a shadow catcher, and then was composited on the real photo of his face - the only mesh you are seeing here is the cyborg parts! :)
Superb composite... this is wonderful work!

This R O C K S ! !
both thumbs up!
Well done you!
Excellent.
That is truly awesome! Fantastic image!
IMO, the purple (synthetic) eye need much improvement (glass). Also, the light pointing on the "mechanic" side doesn't match very well the face. BTW it's a good start.
A brilliant job! An excellent composite .But I just love the barcode tattoo.I'll gamble alot of people appreciate your efforts :) :B eaver !
Excellent work on this. Perfect!
Excellent stuff and a cool image. Very clever the way you used a mesh to capture the shadows too.
