Finished (maybe)

I also added another tutorial on how I got it to this point.  Don't worry, I haven't abandoned doing tutorials on this site, in fact I've got one in the works that should be done in a few days.

Ooo the discoloration from the scars are an extra nice touch! Wonderful stuff!

This is great, Sam! The tutorials are thorough & very well done. I did have a question, though. How often is it that you vary the opacity of your "brush"? Or do you always paint with 100% opacity and use the soft edges to help create the blends?

Dude, so sick. I really like how sculpted he feels, very nice use of lighting to show the form!

It´s perfect , but only one thing:
.You did´nt say what kind of layer we must make, (Multiply , screen , overlay ,etc).
.You get a procces very similar to Adam Ford.
.The only step that i can´t understand is "The heat map".
.Thanks a lot my friend!

Thanks everyone!

Mr. Dinks: I have the opacity of my brushes attached to the pen pressure, so I don't have to adjust the opacity very often, even when I'm using hard-edged brushes.

Jose: I said what type of layers to make in my first tutorial, but I didn't use any layers in this second part (only to apply quick effects, nothing necessarily related to overall process). Yes, it is like a tutorial Adam Ford gave on his blog a while back, because he also thinks in terms of render passes when he paints, I'm guessing because he's a skilled 3d artist as well as a painter.

Beautiful- I like that it's not overly rendered. I mean it is, but it's got a very simple soft look to it.
