I like your pictures Sir pyke. Nice work on them. Yes, everything in my image was done completely in Photoshop. The shading and hilites in the eyes were all airbrushed in. The shadow across the face is simply a drop shadow from the mesh thing. If you look at the difference in shadows between the thumbnail image and the main picture you will see a difference. The lack of shadow in the thumb resulted from less of the mesh to create a drop shadow across the face. The hilites on the platter and mesh and the corona around them were done in the layer styles dialog. The lightning was all hand painted. So, basically there isn't any lighting, just the use of styles and some airbrushing. Thanks for your kind comments. I have a new airbrushed project I hope to post pics on soon.
