Retouched and awaiting opinions.

[Vysionous]

A picture of a friend of mine taken long ago, but I recently decided to toughen him up a bit in Ps on an interval of five hours. Now I need the opinions of the good crowd over here. :thumb

P.S: These are low resolution screenshots. Thus, the pixelation.

Boy, you really worked hard; everywhere I look I see subtle differences. Reminds me of the Sunday paper "Find the six differences" in the comix pages, lol...

Man. If a gym workout regime could do in a month what you did in five hours, everybody'd be at the gym. The stomach looks a bit faux, but then I couldn't have done it. Awesome work.

Wow, he got the full beauty package, huh?? :thumb You must be a really good friend ... uhm, do you want to work on some photos of me?? Haha ... :rofl

[Agnieszka]

so ... I do have one question though ... what is the thingy on the very bottom in the middle? :rofl

Thanks man. I totally agree about the stomach part. Thats the part I had to draw from scratch and I suck at drawing. I'm just hoping when people don't see the original the abs wouldn't strike them so much as fake.

Apparently when I was taking the screenshot I forgot that I didn't drag till the end so here it is:

I'm glad you pointed that out though, or else people would've though I was into gay porn :nah

Wow! This was fascinating to just stare at (not for that reason) to compare the subtle differences between the original and the PS work. I agree that the stomach in the "after" shot looks a bit off, but I don't know that I would have noticed it without the straight comparison next to it. Really nice job. :thumb

I think my only other nit is the background is too saturated for my personal taste, but I know I'm not supposed to be looking at that anyway. :lol3

I think the touchup is great. I particularly like the last version posted the most, I love the colors and skin tone in it. I also think the cut of the stomach is a bit off and while you are at it you may want to fix his top hairline. :wink
I'm tired just from looking at the differences. Hard work right there! :thumb

You're right about the saturation, I'm not a saturation abuser either, but I've done many tests on that one and it seems that its a wh*re in total need of maximum saturation. :nod
