Behind The Face (Fake painting)

I used FaceGen and Gimp to create this one. I wanted to do something surreal but got carried away with the Borg attatchments.

Very impressive, E! Excellent work!
That rain coat is made of leather, i can feel it. And the gloves. Nice technique.
Is that you behind your(?) face?

Yep - a thinly disguised me made into a painting using G'MIC>Enhancement>Smooth(Thin Brush) with a little smudging. Glad you like it.

The main face was generated with FaceGen Modeller (free version) and treated much the same.

So you're mad at penguins and yet you're hiding like a little humanoid looking gremlin in a person's face???

Nice image. xD

that's surrealism right enough! i'm a bit jealous of your fake painting skills, you make it look so natural. i like the borg attachments too

Awesome! That's very surreal.

The fake painting effect is interesting. I wonder if adding little shadows (say, from a thick paint) would add to the effect.

Thank you everybody.

Moko - I have to protect myself when penguins are around

merrak - I did add some dark shadows at the end for atmosphere but I think you are referring to more detailed shadows.
