Angelina Jolie in Beowulf

You will forever be king,
forever strong, mighty,
beyond imagination.

2 years in the making....well, not really.
Started around Dec-20-2007 and finished Jan-4-2008

As usual, made using ONLY Paint.NET!!

Sorry people, No Tutorial possible.
You just have to study human faces, where the light and shadow should be.

But I can give some hints and pointers
Shape3d plugin for the basic shape of the face.
Lots of layers (Don't even ask )
Lots of gradients, blurs, distorts.
Eyes done using my eye tut.
Hair done using my hair tut. (Tut list on my googlepage [link] )
