This is an 86 hour digital painting based on this photograph: http://morguefile.com/archive/?display=132344&

Done in Painter X and PSCS3 with a Wacom intuos 3

Trying for a more realistic skin texture... the first attempt is in my sketchbook thread: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=200&t=407826&page=5&pp=15

An updated walkthrough is coming shortly.. This was a tough painting to get through... but I learned a great deal doing it. Comments and crits welcome
