Dystopian Dude - WIP

this is really more of a wardrobe test than anything else, but it is coming together pretty well already so I might just give him some boots and zoom out a little. probably going to leave him bald, too…

#1 raw

as usual, this piece is fine but I don't like to call it a day this early

  generally I want hair, but it does seem superfluous here

#2 HDR

quite similar to contrasty, but with a high dynamic color range

That is looking better, like this look, even the 5 o’clock shadow on his face looks nice

#3 grungetastic

I could probably just use this one as-is, but I'd like to see it with a few more tweaks

You used my word again. Well- your word but I have been using it.

  I actually prefer the lost edges of his face, it brings something interesting to the image

#4 contrasty

just punched up the contrast a little and it is already looking better, but it doesn't seem gritty enough...

Carol DM says:

He needs to be more grungetastic…

you two do seem to end up on the same page

It’s great in all variants my friend

glad to hear you say so

I like the HDR version. The glasses are an awesome touch. Very sporting!

Alex Ledante says:

  That is an interesting POV, re the glasses. The glasses really do add a lot. Plus, with some of the new glasses out, they could also be an effective HUD.

    so is he a high tech guy, or someone who just scrounges parts? either way, he could still have the HUD goggles…

      He looks more hacker than scrounger. Definitely not steampunk. HUD would be cool!!!
