Cool effect. I always wanted to do that. Can you post up the tutorial? Thanks in advance.
:iconvalatar:
i will try to do a general tutorial on portrait editing with this as main example.
it might take quite some time to do though... some weeks at least. i've got my first client shoots soon and i also want to achieve some progress with my novel finally...

I like the non-edited as much as the majorly edited one! The end resualt reminds me of maybe a vampire! XD But in the first picture your skin has a nice tone toooo!!!

But I notice soemthing...your lips are more red then mine! No fair! And I'M A GIRL! =O Still, like I said in my looooooooooonng comment on the ultra-edited one, you're cute! =D Looks like my hair color when wet! ^^
