Hi Nick, I think you are right. We might be level with his knee caps. I think your creation this week is great. Can you tell me how you got the skin looking so good and avoided the original texture?




Thanks for your kind comments Sophie. I could literally have spent hours on this, but other things to do at the weekend. I think the key here is to make him look less metalic by removing the high gloss. This was done by desaturating him and painting with shades of grey at very low opacity in either lighten or darken blend modes, on a copy of the figure. This, with a combination of the patch and healing brush provided a base, which was further refined with the blur tool. I found a cloth texture for the jacket and trousers.

Moe was not, at all, impressed with Larry’s choice for Curly’s replacement.

Thanks Nick for your tip on desaturating.

Lonnie, welcome to the forum. Great image!
