you shouldnt post images over 600 pixels wide.it messes up the sceen.

o sorry . your work is very good , how do make that affect . cdon (i think) makes work in that stlye . id love 2 learn how.

you've got some really cool stuff in your gallery

that one is really cool too.

Sorry about the large image - I have linked it instead! Excuse that!

I'm very glad you liked this, it was my very first attempt with this 'style' and effect...

My technique with Thanatophobia was moslty layer work using 5 main elements:
- The skull (section starting at the nose upwards)
- The mouth
- The eye
- The prison bars and
- A texture overlaid.
I worked with hue and saturation to get the off-colouration and also brightness and contrast (intending to produce something quite dark and shadowed)...

Thanks for you comment!

cool . do you know of any tutorials!

There are many tutorials around - I did download a few when I was starting out but don't have them anymore. If you 'Browse' deviantart, there is a whole section of Photoshop tutorials, some excellent choices around too! Try those if you're interested! Hope that helps.

good work... can we make a tennis about this topic?

cool work

Excellent work
