Hi Gary, thanks for the comment. Im unsure what direction I’ll take with the face, but those are some great ideas.. I dont know whether to go for purely mechanical or integrate the human element like you suggested.

Understanding the pen tool will be a massive asset to your skillset, the puppet warp is just ‘fluff’ in comparison. The shear tool found via the filters option (Filters > Distort > Shear) does a similar job in CS4.

Might I suggest applying a clear plexiglass looking “See Through” mask to overlay the face. I see 2 different choices for the under-face. One would show a beautiful human face under the clear mask, with minimal mechanical features. The other option could show a much more mechanical face. Maybe with the only “Human” aspect being the eyes.

P.S.
I’m really enjoying your tutorials. I’m currently trying to get the “Pen Tool” basics down. I’m using CS4, but I’m sure I can acheive decent results. (Not sure how to work around the lack of “Puppet Warp”), but I’ll figure something out.

I wouldnt call the Pen a vector tool as such, its more of a versatile selection tool that is very precise and clean. One of my favourite tools! Glad you enjoyed

It looks kind of unfinished, as it is unfinished lol.. We have one more step to do, then I think thats a wrap for this series. Patience miss! One day, we’ll have to create a cyber bloke, just to buck the trend lol

Cheers!

the texture trick is really amazing, I’m so not used to work with vectors in photoshop, but now I’ll definitely give it a chance!

Great stuff and very useful as per but I really don’t think you can get away this easy! The face needs some attention. As it is it just doesn’t look right, it’s kind of unfinished … Even a cyberpunk girlie deserves some personality!

I’m impressed with mr. Fantasio’s work, although I reckon it would be even cooler if the subject matter was a bloke for once, but then again, I’m a woman, so …. yeah.

Be bad!

Hey bro, once again you didn’t disappoint What I would really to find out thought is how you make it look like your model i.e Second Splinter has deep inset lines in her sink, almost like scarification. Its the last think I’m stuck on lol
