Okay, I tried the refraction technique that Baggins Bill outlined and this is how it looks. The effect isn't quite the same, likely because in this image there isn't anything in the background to show through, other than the light in the cylinder.

This is illustrated by the fact that the fingers of the figure's left hand, which have hair behind them, look very different from the hand, itself.

I'm going to make some adjustments and try this again . . .
