Vampire Look?

TenThirteen

I was trying to create a really different detailed look, but now I think I've PP'd too much and I'm not sure I like it. There are some areas on her face that at TOO in focus (under her lip, parts of her hairline). Should I smooth them, should I start all over, or just throw this picture away altogether?


I wanted to try a heavily PP'd look so that's how this whole thing got started, but I think I ended up in Twilight land, lol

Desaturate the red levels 50%

I also think it's too saturated. I think once you adjust that it should be good. One more thing I just noticed. Her neck on camera right, looks like her skin is scarred but I think its her hair that gives that appearance. May want to clean that up.

Oh... and there seems to be a bit of food or something stuck to the right side of her lower lip?

Thanks guys, I didn't even notice that 'scarring' on her neck! I tried to desat it and didn't like the way it looked, but I will play around with it some more when I get home from work :-)

I don't find it over-done at all. If anything, the contrast/blacks are a *bit* too high but that's it.

And have no fear, you're not in Twilight PP'ing zone yet, the "vegetarian" vamps have golden eyes and the "bad" vamps have red. Her skin would be MUCH paler and beyond flawless, maybe with a hint of sparkles to it, too.

I accidently discovered vampire eyes when I lightened eyes too much and they had skinny pupils from looking towards the sun ( in shade) these were light blue eyes, but I think the eyes in general are much lighter in the vampire arena these days even like ikmadison said golden , it really gives the eerie vibe

I like this, just back off the blacks a wee bit!
Isn't that a small gem on her lower lip?

Thanks for all the comments guys, and yes, she does have her lip pierced. I had a lot of trouble with processing this because she wears a TON of makeup, lots of powder and too much concealer (I don't know why, I have seen her fresh faced and she has nice skin), so every time she has a facial expression she gets fine lines in her make-up. Next time I shoot with her I will wash her face first, hehe.

I have had to have models wash their face many times due to the amount of face paint.....Good photo.............thumb
