Description The zombification of the princess was an unexpected side effect of her stumbling into the wrong room one late night.... in the middle of the practice of the dark arts....

Technical/Other Side:

This wasn't my original concept for the model stock, I'm still working on that one and another. This was one of those accidental things when I was just free forming ... aka I just was doing some random stuff and then the concept snapped into place as I was going...

This represents a lot more work than it would appear as there are about 8 layers just on the skin tone, mottling that I was going after alone.... and a careful mixture of layer effects ... air brush... blurring effects and half a million things.... it was fun though

When I looked at it I thought it lacked color so I added the red coloring and symbol. The symbol I was playing with the embossing function with GIMP a bit.

The eyes were also a couple of layers and an entirely different style/technique then I've tried. I really liked how it came out though.

That all being said this is a highly experimental piece that I may revisit....

A very special thanks to who let me use the base image (at higher resolution) when it wasn't stock... She is quite a nice person from our dialogs ... and talented as well.

The Stock Providers are thusly:

- Model
- Background

Nice work! You did a good job blanching her face without killing any detail. Her neck and chest appear a little flat in comparison but overall it looks great
Love her eyes though - you managed to create a very interesting effect without ruining their beauty

Thanks ... still figuring out the chest / neck aspect not quite sure what I can do to fix that but there are a lot of layers

Hmmm...it appears as though there are a few shadows on her chest that wouldn't normally be there. Particularly the dark spot right above her necklace. It might look better if that shadow was higher up - perhaps it was moved by mistake. Also, try Sharpening her neck+chest a little - it might bring out a few of the details

Also I just thought of something that would really set it off, but also be rather difficult to achieve. Brightly coloured objects, especially if they are transparent, reflect a lot of light, particularly on flat-colour backgrounds. Her necklace, being such a bright red, would probably have a faint red "aura" and its shadow would have a redish hue. It would help convince the viewer of the reality of the red pendant

That isn't shadow that is part of the skin texturing I did... so not shadow, discoloration I added for a zombieish effect.

The aura I thought I did but apparently not enough to grab your attention so I'd have to think on how to do redo that without making it go the other way Thanks.

Ah I get it. It works as a zombification effect

I noticed the one that was there after posting the comment I agree though - too much and it would go the other way...
