altered final

at long last i was able to finish it. i hope you guys like it.

It took me almost 5 months to finish this shit coz i've been busy doing other stuff. This piece was entirely done in photoshop CS. The only photo i used in this artwork is the face, that's actually my old profile photo. The rest of the details and other stuff were created using airbrush tool and some tidius masking. I used burn ang dodge tool to create shadows and highlights. Downloadable texture brushes helped me create the stains and rust textures on the metals. I cropped some portions of my other artworks for the background. i wanted the BG to be a bit blurry so that the subject would stand out. you can check out the working stages of this piece in my gallery. you may find it a bit different coz i flipped it so i can put my signature on the right.
