Avatar - Final Draft

Final Avatar Draft

I'm so glad this project is done and over with.  Blah!!!  I cannot count the hours I have fought and fought with this image and I'm still not happy with it but I said 'enough'!  What I did was basically deconstruct the entire thing and went working backwards layer by layer trying to fix the massive over-Burn tool I did on her cheeks in my draft version.  I also tamed down the Dodge highlights and left them basically on her chin and her nose only.  I took the heavy Burn off the edge of her chin and and the sides of her face that gave her a super heavy shadow effect and also cleaned up the "green" hair issue I was experiencing where yellow + blue = green.  I redid the Liquify effect and pulled her nose down even further and then bloated it some more.  I ended up keeping her eyes the same.  I like that they're crystal-like and shiny.  Of course, I added her to a Deviant Art work of Avatar's Pandora world and the flora there.  

First Draft Version w/ heavy Burn on cheeks & green hair issues.
