That old man is so cool. Love the picture and your results, PhotoComix.

PC was that done in the new Graphic Boost 2?
Very nice how ever you accomplished it.
Really captures the drama in the photo.

PC how did you accomplish the photo that's really smart!

Wrinkles and age really come across brilliantly with this technique of yours.

Thank you Griatch ...and yes is quite effective on wrinkles and age.
And may give to the most moderate teen the look of a survival to a 48h rave party or a wild riot
(so in case teen may like but not their parents...)

@Rod Lorri

if you want i may post a (messy) xcf ...messy because i come to some dead end in the process
my initial idea was do something similar to viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3106&start=0 but then i decide that postwork with weird color shifts was absolutely not adapt to the subject

So i made 1 duplicate of the original and used Gmic/ Wild Cartoonizer (that made the wrinkles heavier and black and add a dark grain to the skin) duplicate again and then Gmic / Steampunk pencil

Then merged the 2 at taste and on top in color mode and with low opacity( About 40%) a dup of the original to add a few acid colors to

(About Steampunk Pencil and Steam _pen I could not find a better definition:
...the gmic Pencil create often a heavy pattern in uniform area of the original ...a pattern that may be decorative but is always the same so may get soon boring

In the Steam Pen the "Steam" is too break or smear that pattern on uniform area but leaving sufficient sharpness in the Pencil outlines, and to do this add a combination of Kuwahara and blur to the Pencil effect

Just in case somebody was wondering about "Steam Pen" meaning

Hey PC,

Great job!!
