I would love to share the 'how to' for this image, Its the great thing about Rendo the inspiration of the images and getting some inside info on the techniques used. So here goes I hope it all makes sense. First I removed the background from the original studio shot removed her hair and painted in the top of here skull. I filed the background with a neutral grey and then applied the extrude filter, there are loads of options so you can play all you like till it looks OK. Then I selected the neutral grey areas and removed them along with the part blocks some blocks I kept and painted over the grey, this will be obvious when you try. Then I applied plastic wrap just love this filter, again played with the settings till it was how I liked it. Then added the sky and merged the layers together. And finally added a top layer painted some vignetting and colour, thats it. I what to work some more on the plain faces of the blocks, adding some texture and colouring just to lift it a bit. Did you guess right? Would love to know about your glass technique Alpha. :0)
