I felt like doing something different...something that I couldn't quite put my finger on myself....! Hope I succeeded! You tell me....lol!

Alien reconstruction entirely out of source image. From the female portrait used I kept only the face and built everything around it.
A lot of colouring process using gradient adjustment layers.

I would like to thank a lot for the extraordinary stock provided so kindly by "Katanaz" on Deviant art! You can find very good quality photos at: http://katanaz-stock.deviantart.com/.

I would also like to thank "Superior Stock" also on Deviantart for some amazing PNG files collections. Check it out and you won't regret it: http://superior-stock.deviantart.com/.

I have sent notes to both authors with link to this image. As proof you can see screenshots of the messages at the end of my SBS: step 32 and 33.

Deviantart is back on, might have been just my computer, so all sources work now.

Please follow SBS for a lot more details! Enjoy!
