I am interested in taking some dark photographs of people with a goth like appearance with the aim of producing some fantasy/ goth/vampire digitally manipulated images and whilst waiting on volunteers (a friend is asking some of their friends) I thought I would get some practice in, so snapped a couple of myself and had a play. I would really like some feedback on this if possible - and obvioulsy I am no model, but sometimes you just need to use what you have in order to experiement and practice. Anyway, its nice to get rid of all my wrinkles:razz:

Lots of make up, Laughing

and

I used noise reduction a few times to soften the appearance of the skin, used the saturation tool to give the lips a bit more colour, used the healing brush tool to remove blemishes and wrinkles ( oh so many now Rolling Eyes

) and created some blood brushes which I added drop shadow, satin, and bevel to.
Dont know if I dare post the original it waaaay to scary lmao.

Here we go, two new versions, both with skin tones altered, one with pale eyes one with red.

Everything looks fantastic apart from the blood. It looks too cartoony

They look fantastic Angi, I prefer the lighter ones as they look more 'real'.
