HOLA....been a while. i've been busy getting my portfolio ready for grad school, so not much time has been available for fun(NWN). This is a piece that's going in the portfolio, and a friend liked it alot. he wanted to know how i did it, so i made him a short tutorial and included the photoshop file. I figured since i haven't had time to to a proper tutorial for the vault, this would suffice for the time being. (not a portrait, but the methods are applicable. it is laid out in steps(6 jpegs) and a small photoshop file is included. soon i should be able to get back to proper 'portraiture'. anyway, this is a photoshop tutorial, but the principles should be applicable regardless.
