First, I took a picture of myself, trying to look as pained as possible. Notice the glasses are crooked.
Next, I added some bruises and blood with Photoshop.
Lastly, I showed it to Clay Corbisier, who is an artist with a very good naturalistic sensibility, who said, "I can do better than that!" This last one is his version. It's very good. It makes my wife want to throw up.
(You can click on any of the pictures above for a bigger version so you can see the gore at much higher resolution. I recommend looking at the bigger pictures for Clay's version so you can see the detail in the scratches bruising.)

Hey, dude
ReplyDeleteFor me, that's, like, everyday, without photoshop.
'Cos my brother who's a total jerk thinks I'm his personal punchbag.
Hate him.
I've got bruises all over my body and on my face. I'm never without bruises or even without a black eye. I'm gonna complain about him if he soesn't stop soon. This has been going on since three years back.
