Something like that, but with more dodging and burning, i imagine.

no accented either. But mostly another exercise in faded filters and dodge/burn. I am enjoying having installed tattyshop again.

I wasn't being dismissive or nasty, i just like guessing filters :D
Maybe angled strokes and lens blur then?

water colour faded, underpainting faded, angled and crosshatch. Also sponge, dodge, burn and some healing.
Pasanonic once used a picture of me to make a tutorial on painting styles. Since then I have been known to experiment, and now I am actually using photoshop again, I feel I need to warm up a bit.

The yellow gradient down bottom is nice and springy.

it's actually very scruffy. I've been meaning to revisit it and complete it as a painting without the line but I've not gotten around to it. It would not take much though.
Because it's painted in an industry standard comic book 'cell shading' method the line art actually covers all the separated areas of painting and they don't meet up. Hang on, I'll show you what I mean.

I left the shoulder out so you get the idea of how I work in 'blocks' or 'flats'.
You can see elsewhere that the blocks are not finished where they meet because the intentional comic book style allows for the line art to cover these areas. If I had intended a painting from the start I would never have inked the sketch and just used it as a guide to paint over but I agree with you that it will look nice without the line art.
I was very pleased with this and I think it deserves the extra work. When I can be arsed.
