Yep - it's all just Photoshop. No tablet or anything... actually no mouse either! hehe. I'm just working off my Mac laptop, so it's all done with the touchpad. Basically just trial and error; creating different layers for different things (tattoos, hair, eyes, etc) and playing around with different filters, brushes, colours and all that.
I'd like to do a step-by-step style example at some point, but right now I'm so all over the place it wouldn't make any sense. hehe. Hopefully in a little while, when I'm more comfortable with it, I'll do something like that.
Of course! That's one of the reasons I wanted to work with this picture... it'd be hard for it not to look hot in the end!
I'm actually working on another version of this now - a "mainstream version". Taking out the piercings and tattoos, changing the hair to a brown with some blonde highlights, softening the eye make-up just a touch. It'll be intersting to see how it all turns out!
Very nice! You seem quite able at brilliantly improving images, but dare I send a pic of my current portrait? You see, I'm in a last-man-that-shaves-wins-the-money contest at work and, therefore, am a hairy caveman bastard right now...at least on the face. Think you can tame the savagery into something more noble? On second thought, I'm too embarrassed to expose my ZZ Top tendencies online for now. But hey, I'm also using this commenting spot to solicit you to come back to ST! I'm starting to go around bugging the oldies to come back and bring some life back into it... y'know 2002 style. It always was fun, so why not bring it back? :)

I'm almost curious... but hot damn, that looks great! I didn't know Zae could possibly look any better! Apparently you've proved me wrong.
