Description
I created this image for a college project. It started out as an extremly bad poser 3 render which i thought would be a great task to take it into painter and photoshop and repaint it completly. I wanted to create a semi photorealistic finish but still give it a traditional look. The original image took 5 minutes to set up and render then about 17 hours work in painter and photoshop. No scan work or texturing had been used.

this is cool the hair is very well done photoshop or painter ? and i know it would be poser 3 but the lips look a bit weird to me but still nicely done
Well i used painter for the skin and photoshop for the hair and colour corrections.
you did a wonderful job... wow.
Wow. It's turned out to be the best 2D work ever;) 10+++
coolness
Excellent work. That is some of the best Photoshop touch ups I have ever seen. The eyes are the best part of the image I think.
BRAVO! greatness! coolness!
I agree with the others, it really turned out to be a thing of beauty! The whole nose and the area just under and around the eyes are so realistic! Thanks for sharing, 10+
I agree with everyone else here...Very nice work!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. I forgot to mention the college project is to design a new cover for the magazine Esquire. Thanks again for the comments :)
Great work, very realistic with nice skin tones, great shine on the hair too....brilliant.
Dear Nikolas..I am IMPRESSED with your ARTWORK. Great talent and great image...BRAVO!
WOW!!!! Very Good!!! Very Good!!!!
"Excellent hair and face texture. Great job."
excellent painting dude! keep it up!
I enjoyed the eyeshadowing, its rare in a poser work to find some that dosent say "Whore".... great work...
INCREDIBLE! REAL ART!!!!!
Nice work !!
10 does not do this image justice
very very nice almost too perfect complection
I thought that the eye was a photo from the thumb. I'd think you'd paint away the Illustrator nose glow.
very plastic, excellent
