Another Dark Art challenge entry. This time to alter the appearance of someone. It's the fist time I have tried a manipulation along these lines and I'm quite pleased with the results.
If anyone wants to see a before and after version click here http://fav.me/d6b7x9q and follow the link to the original image.
Any thoughts and comments on this image are much appreciated.

Scary! And very good for first-timer.
Rotate right (from watcher´s pov) vampire tooth clockwise little. I would also move them up a bit, they look like not being attached to gums if You get what I mean.
You could also use some shine gloss or whatever to add realism to the surface, so they´d look more like the incisors. And sharpen edges.

Thanks guys. The vampire teeth were the thing I had the most trouble with and I didn't even notice they were out of line, thanks for the tip off on that one, Nidhogg.

I enjoyed this transformation.
Between before and after the change was radical. The white tone on the face was very good! Looks like a creature cold, iced. And those blue eyes only enhance it.
It seems that only on the lips, with those menacing canines, is there any blood in that body. And they seem to want more .... scary :scram
:clap :bigthup

caz: good luck with the contest! i think this looks well made and the colours are good. perhaps it's not very original, though? i think it could have used a little extra twist of some kind to make it stand out a bit.

Fantastic job Caz. I particularly like the lighting and the glowing pupils.

Thanks everyone. I based the look, skin tone colour and the like, on a picture I was looking at of Selene from the Underworld series of films. She really is the coolest looking vampire I've ever seen.
Couldn't do much else manipulation wise to this image as the rules of the contest stated that it was a face manipulation only, so no background stuff and the like.
