A word about upcoming things; I'll be posting the Nico Bellic image next week probably on Monday or Tuesday as thats when it hits newsstands in the UK.

Answer to that is Liquify with a brush density of about 25. If you work a little higher resolution than your final image no detail is lost.

It's a tad long to watch, but any faster and it was hard to see what's going on. You'll notice one of my main reference images was an Angelina Jolie picture.
