Very interesting! Pretty darn good job on stylizing her, but her features...demeanor almost seems too sweet to get the craggy feel I get from Dragan Thanks for sharing about Dragan, had not heard of him.

He is very famous on the site www.dpreview.com - where his work has been admired for a long period.

There is a tutorial here http://www.wedoourownstunts.com/pstutorials/draganizing_1.html

After reading about the technique I can see the resemblance now in your post. I think that since your girlfriend is young and sweet looking (not old and wrinkly) that she is a very different subject from someone that dragan would probably shoot, so in that way its hard to see the similarities.

I like the picture though. Try it again on some crusty homeless person and see what the results are like!

Very cool effect. I used a variation of that tutorial webstie you linked here. I used this pic I have of my father, although I allready had edited it and drastically reduced his wrinkles and softened his face. So the results aren't like they could be, but here it is anyway. I really like the effect, think I will work on more images. Thanks for the idea.
