I'll leave realism to the professionals. I dunno what I was doing with this. I was just trying for a different look.
This is a picture of my character, Roman. He's a zombie and is technically 50 but appears 17. I could tell you a lot about him but I think I'll limit it to the facts that he was born in 1959 and died in 1976. Was resurrected in 1982 and he wears the same expression on his face all the time. It's not a happy one.

Took a little over 45 minutes to create and touch-up.
Overused texture is overused but I like it. ;;
