So here is my latest portrait, this time of Evil Ed from Fright Night. I think the likeness came out accurately enough, but I’m not happy with the style. It almost looks like I took the photo and just added some smudges and effects. I don’t want so realistic a look, but I don’t want to lose the likeness, so how and where can I add more style and personal preference? As far as personal preference, I already changed the composition, made it greyscale, changed the brightness, contrast, and gamma. I made some adjustments to a couple of areas, blurred some areas to not distract from the focal point, and added some of my own detail in the eyes. After all that, it still ends up looking like I could have just photoshopped the actual photo and saved myself hours of rendering. Any general feedback or tips to overcome these specific issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🤓
