Post removed Feb 20 10 12:55 pm Link I think it kinda looks like a mad alien. Feb 20 10 07:02 pm Link As far as how it looks from a retouching standpoint, it's really good (from what I can tell with a web-sized photo). Now, artistically, not a big fan. It makes her eyes look super up-turned on the sides. Other little things: Maybe do an ear lobe reduction? They're kind of distracting. And one nostril is bigger than the other.

Also, the left ear lobe as the OP mentions above is distracting and not to forget the varying size of the nostrils pulls attention too. The lower lips seem too fake too. The blacks are too blacks and lack texture. Feb 21 10 07:35 am Link I recall doing similar contouring/work on skin for a client 3 weeks back and I did show up the before/after to few other retouchers/photogs. here, I got a mixed response; from which I got to understand that the retouching was really awesome but I went two steps ahead with it. But alas, what can I do when the client itself wants something stupid to be done for him! I follow this rule: 1. Download the image 2. Photoshop it and upload it for the client 3. Client critiques it 4. Client says, its not even touched 5. I over-photoshop it and repeat 1-3 6. Client says some more work here and there 7. Now, its just as scary as this one you showed up 8. Client says wow- there you got what I was talking about 9. I receive my check 10. Delete the image-raw/finished from my PC At the end of it, I forget that I ever worked on that image!

I'm just asking for a critique on the eye makeup not on the image as a whole. I tried a new technique on the textured eyeshadows and just wanted to know what ya'll thought about it. I actually have two versions of this image and this it's the one the client picked. I'm going to remove the image as the client it's from MM and I don't want him to get mad after seeing that people are saying that she looks like an alien etc. Feb 21 10 11:44 am Link Alright. I'll tell you only about the eyes: My pick on them: The eyeball seems crystalline, somehow. The iris is great, but the aqueous looks over done. As far as the eyeshadow and makeup near the eye goes- looks wonderful, good job with it. Yes, this part sure is a new technique. Feb 21 10 12:41 pm Link |
