Creepy but cool. Excellent blending. Very seamless and well done job.

Very funny ! Good luck author

LMAO ! That's great !!!

The painted face looks very flat. It needs some shading, and maybe a bit of texture (Filter>Texture>Texturizer>Sandstone, and then Edit>Fade Texturizer to lessen the effect) to make it blend better with the rest of the image. Also the nostrils look wonky.

But a very creative overall approach to the source image. Good job!
