Really nice work here...GL author!

thanks ,cmyk46

SBS would be nice to see how you did the hair.

Ichappell, the hair is all hand drawn and painted.

wonderful work!

Really well done, author. One thing that would really make him look younger is smaller glasses. As for what you've done...it's great!

cool work author...gl

great job on the hair I find that can be the hardest

Nice work, very convincing.

I would put some texture/pores into her skin.

Yes I agree! And for some reason I would like someone to change clothes and/or generation look of the picture, but this one is right on theme!

Edit: I would love to see a: 70's, 80's, and then like 2011 look? Maybe even a photoAlbum theme!?

I agree it would be better with some skin pores. SO many effects help you learn how to smooth skin texture, but I've yet to find a decent one to add back pores (without using another source, which is verboten for this contest...). The Healing Brush tool allows you to retain some skin texture, but it totally trashes the skin tones, leaving a horrid, mottled effect.

I like the idea of a "progressive" effect through the decades. Maybe that will be a future contest!

Its a very good effort, however there would be more shaping shadows in the face as well as the texture of the skin.
Shadows to define the mouth - for instance:- the curve below the bottom lip and dimples under the nose that shape the top lip. As one ages the muscles soften and drop the fine edges of a structure and if there are false teeth they push the top lip out and straighten it. The Older face actually has higher cheek bones than you have given credit for and there would be deeper hollows over and a slight shadow under the eyes . Cartilage grows all of ones life so the nose may well have been shorter and slightly turned up at the end.

Good work. I will come back and vote later.

what about trying to take a small portion of one of the less wrinkled parts of her face (maybe nose) and use that as a pattern for some texture in her face? Or just painstakingly put millions of tiny dots on her face for pores. lol

U did good work author but she looks more like wax figure...try to add some skin texture here to achieve more natural look...best of luck

You did a great job... just need to make it a lil more realistic,,and since we could not use other skin it was hard

She looks like a porcelain doll - you just went too far with it, author, tho you have the right idea. The trick is to leave some pores there, and soften her skin overall. Nice lip shape, tho.

Your source does require you acknowledge the author. You need to do that. You did a very good job of making her younger.

Well done, she looks very real.

well done!

So natural...Nice one author!

Very natural, I can actually see this one! Great job author, I was told, look at a girls mother if you want to see what she will be like in 10 years, this one is right on the button! Keep up the awesome entries author!

My suggestion is: Add different clothes to the after pic, and give a different generation appearance, that's just my Suggest (Most entries are missing that aspect and changing face but not clothes or background).... this is still like Awesome! in comparison to the others!

Nice job! wow

small nit pick you have made the mouth a bit taller on the younger one should be the same size as the original. nice work though.

Glockman, sorry but I don't agree... with the age lips get tinner so I had to enlarge them a title...

P.S. Sorry my english!

nice job!

Nice work author but she looks more like a younger sister then same person younger...GL

this is a great job ..it is the little things ..fuller lips..hair cut skin tone.... very nice

Thanks!!

Really nice job on this! Nice touch with making her lips fuller, and great job removing the glasses. Believeable as mother and daugher.

Great concept, but the hair and beard have lost all depth, and are just black masses...Maybe you can go in and add some individual hair back, so it doesn't just look like black paint on the photo.

I agree with MossyB.

Thanks

very ghostly.. wonderful atmosphere

Might want to blur the shadow a bit...otherwise, good imagination.

thanks CMYK46 ..... blurred the shadow a bit
