DMS 447 - Ca'Mareo Waller - Infinite Teaser

CONSTRUCTIVE feedback welcomed.

So I wanted to do something based entirely around Andrew Kramer's "Healer" Tutorial. So I got the wonderful idea of "killing myself," only for my wounds to heal entirely. What I came up with was a quick teaser for a "movie." I think for a first effort, the effects came out looking good, although given my skin tone and whatnot, I can probably do a better job down the road blending things better with my skin, or with someone else's.

It should be noted that where my attempt differs from Andrew's work is that I did not use the Evolution texture that he used. As seen in my Facial Regeneration Test (Texture A), The Evolution Texture didn't blend too well and had a more "tacked on" look, which I didn't like. So for this one, I googled some pictures of cracked mud, which had established and natural depth/deepness. This in turn made the "cuts" seem realistically deep in comparison to Andrew's texture. As such, when the cracked mud wounds healed, they gave off an appearance of wounds actually healing/sealing up, as opposed to merely fading away. However, this is obviously just my opinion.

On another note, please, don't look too deeply into the title (I'm perfectly aware of its cheesiness). I literally pulled it out of my ass, as it was the very first thing that came to mind that I felt would fit the entire thing. If I could've chosen a better title, then believe me, you'd be seeing that instead. I think I did a pretty decent job on the editing and establishing the mood/atmosphere for the project.

As aforesaid, I know if I keep doing this, I should have it down to a science, with better blending, lighting, etc.
