It makes him look like a convict!

Mind you, he looks a bit like that in the top picture too

I believe the full-on Dragan Effect works best on weather worn faces, or ones with a certain character, while I can tell you've done the work, it's perhaps lost on this chap (which I suppose you can feedback as a complement to him i.e. he's not weird enough looking )

Always good to practice, I remember I downloaded some 'rugged' faces from the internet to practice Dragan, might be more useful.

It wouldn't matter what you did to my face, nothing would have any positive effect

I think the Dragan effect is too much but I like your version. The hair of the gentleman seems to get a green tinge here on my laptop, thoug.

What happened to the background?

I really like the effect! Wouldn't call him an ex-con, more like a good stunt double for Bruce Willis! Ha!

Would be very much interested in a tut. if you get the time to do one.
