damn you guys are good. The hair really requires a tablet.

...now where's Claf's and Anfa's?

btw, Rey, Marco and I are the only ones who enhanced the breasts? IN THE IMAGE THAT IS!

Marco, this is just amazing. Breast enhancement, arm replacement, dramatic lighting, I give up. If my lady friend wasn't already stunningly beautiful I would be e-mailing you a photo of her.

*sings* Someone's gonna get lay-ayed.

Here is a work in progress, still got details and edits to do, but late here in UK and not sure if i'll get on here tomorrow:

A few ideas:
Lighten up her belly a bit. You don't have to use black to make a shadow, Use darker richer colors. Her right had looks burned and under that arm you put black over a highlight which made a grey tone. Richen the shadows and show some details in there. Don't always go black.

Nice job Marco, but read the other comments. He doesn't want Wonder woman.

Who cares what he wants? LOOK AT HER!

Nice work but yes as Rey said -

Leave her blonde

Lose crown

Don't like the facial things you've done to her - makes her look...weird ... she already had a nice face lol

Not sure about the background...the perspective...it's a nice background but the angle or direction needs to be slightly different

So far, you've gotten over $5K worth of images...
to infinity!

What? lol

Two stand out so far - Rey's and Marco's

Rey's is hot but if for $100 that is a one-off for him and his "usual price" is $3000

I'm leaning towards Marco as I have more images that need to be done.

The purpose of this was to find one designer I can go back to now and in the future with more cool stuff to do working with some images of hotties

Thanks

Some sweet work being done here.

I know times are tuff in the US of A but you want a lot for ya buck...

Im no where near the skill level of Marco and 2rey but would not be doing that kinda work for $100, way under priced on the professional market.

Your right Rey, a few highlighs need adjustment across the model, like I said still work to be done.

The crown will go, sorry, did mean to take that out after reading your comment a few pages back.

Hopefully have an update or 2 soon.

And Rey is right, while this is fun, he may charge $3000, I would be around that figure but for £'s

Saying that, this is fun that I really needed right now, so I will not complain... and I really should stop telling Rey he is correct, his head will get stuck in doorways

In all seriousness, ReyRey and Marco have both done phenomenal jobs.

I hate you both.

you do realize even my shitty one would have cost you more than $100 right? I also did this for my own amusement.

If you seriously want a designer you can go back to now and then for $100 bucks a pop you'd better find one that deals in crack.

FYI most designers are $60 per hour. And that is on the cheap side... With all the demands and changes you want, you're looking at a very expensive retainer. Most likely you've already realized this with designers in your area, so you came here.

Good luck retaining Rey or Marco for $100.

But anyone have tips on how to make a blonde turn into a brunette better than how I went about it?

I duplicated the hair, greyscaled it, set it to mulitply, then used the smudge tool on the edges and did some clean up work on the blonde locks on the chest in my piece.

that is basically what I did.
didn't know if there was some sort of color correction/image adjustment I could have done. but cool jc thanks!
