I added a small piece of the grunge texture here to the left hand side of the face to balancethe texturing.
Next I apply my cracked/tor typeof texture on the forehead and the cheek. The texture layeris applied with layer palette on multiply. Then carefully erasing and blending with the eraser, gradually lowering the opacity. Using the burn tool again to deepen the shadows and edges of new areas.
I took a stock photo of a clock face and brought it down to the appropriate size, then convertedit to grayscale. I applied the greyscaled clock to the one goggle piece with layer palette set to overlay. Carefully erase the edges and blend. I then useda the pinch filter (found under filter/distort) at about 10%. This gave the clock a more curved look. Again back to the burn tool, running it around theedges of the clock, I always keep my burn tool set to no morethan 2%. This is now the time I would do any touch ups using air brush. And last but not least add the border of your choice and signature.
About the author:
I was born and raised in central Canada in 1962, and I live there still with my husband and our teenage son. Art has always played a part in my life, for the last 7 years or so I have focused on digital art, tapestry and painting in acrylics. I am co-owner of Groundfrost Illustration and Design which began in October 2004. Some of our clients include the Black Eyed Peas, God Forbid and The Killers. My digital art tools are Paintshop Pro 9, Poser 5, a Kodak Easy Share camera and a Wacom tablet. Poser 5 and my digital camera are still new tools to me, I’m learning as I go. I can’t imagine my life without art in it, its a part of me.
