# Woo.
THREADJACK
I need some advice, i'm trying to learn to photshop people to look undead, and i need opinions on which one of these two look the best, and any additional advice/ideas on what to do would be good too.
1) or 2)

# Nooo, don't mind at all
that's just a test image anyway, because the facial features were clear and easy to pick out.

# Well
#1 doesn't look very dead, so I'd say her.

# IMHO..
..some dodge'nburn to create some lumps and depth to the skin and maybe 'overlay' a similar angled old persons face... think 'rot and wrinkles'.. woo so far though :) (oh, and some dark veins)

# never used dodge and burn
I tend to use very few of the tools and capabilites photoshop has.

# another thing I tend to try..
..is creating a layer above and using the air brush at varying levels. That way, because it is on diffrent layer you can adjust the opacity and blend modes to get the effect (flatten the layers together if necessary when you have achieved the effect you are after).

# maybe
use curves to lighten the skin colour and then the sponge tool on about 20-30% to desaturate.

edit: just tried it.

# You could just kill them,
re-animate them, then take a photo. Surely that would be easier.
