I don't feel like paying 10$ to have my picture done and then get rid of it eventually.
.-.
I know she used countless photoshop brushes like for the blood tears and the stitches/cracks.
But are there any good photoshop tutorials?
I use photoshop 7.

Try this, this, or this. There are loads more on Yahoo/Google if those aren't what you're looking for.

That last one sucked, but the first two were the ones i was going to show

True, but I thought she could maybe use the texture for the cracked effects she was looking for.

Those are wonderful, thank you!
Heres what I recently did to a picture Audrey Kitching.(I used none of those tutorials)

It looks cool but I think the eyes look a bit weird & not really zombie-like. It looks like someone gave her some black eyes.

There's a tutorial here on cB. Hope it helps.

I really like what you did with it :)

I agree about the eyes but other than that it's awesome.

I like the second picture.
Maybe you should have used the Clone Stamp Tool or something similar to make her eyes completely white.

To me, that's more of a zombie eye effect instead of the total blackness thumbsup.gif

I agree, except they don't look like black eyes. They look like dark holes on her head. Why not add light reflections? (Sort of like the image you first posted but more realistic.) That way, it hints that she does have eyes and at the same time, you retain the zombie/dead concept.

well a good tip is to stay away from the typical black/white eyes (unless you can make them look more bad ass then just brushing the eye area black) and terrible "gore" brushes. Stock photos and textures are more helpful than you think.

What i do for a dead-ish look is just around the eyes (on new layer) i take a med-dark grey and color around the eyes, and feather it, and put the layer on multiply. And then (new layer) i take a light grey and select the red areas of the face, and then i put the layer on hue and then lower opacity. Then after that you can ussually do what ever, like add blood or darken the image.
Here's one i did of my friend: [link]

^Ehhh, it sort of looks cool, but just doesn't "match". Maybe you should've made the skin a bit more greyer and cracky.
