This thread is great !
Funny thing is that I almost always take more pictures than I did of my submission, I only have one non-final picture.
Here's how I did it though:
Found the image on Google Images by searching for "Evil Face" (first picture)
Printed pics from google never seem crisp enough to use as stencils, so I generally print them and then redraw the lines in black. This time I just drew the pic. Then I made a cleaner version by tracing the first (second picture).
Then a dip dye with idye black for the black on the right side of the disc and the pupil.
Then weed off the blood and painted on idye crimson. Cut the viens in the white of the eye, flexed the disc to open them and painted on idye red. And weeded off the lighter areas on the right side and painted with a mix of idye blue, gun metal, and silver.
Then shaded those lighter ares with black to get a smoother transition. And weed off the Iris and paint on Pylam green.
Then put lines of idye blue on each side of the eye (on the vinyl), and with a toothpick, stroked the blue onto the Iris. Ive used that technique before and I really liked how it worked here.
Remasked and cut out the hand to avoid getting unwanted dye on the blood.
Colored the hand using a base skin color of idye red and water, applied at room temp with a qtip a few times (as discussed in that other thread). Used idye silver, gunmetal, black, brown, purple, red and crimson while coloring and shading the hand. At this point is where the third picture was taken.
Then it was one more remask, weed off the enire left side except the eye. Did the coloring and shading with the same colors as the hand, but on the face I got that textured look by again using a toothpick and putting a small amount of dye on and making streaks, being as random as possible with a brown and gunmetal mix, then again with just gunmetal.
Then weeded off the eye to do some final shading there (the reddish edge of the eye white, and the actual shading).
After that, just a couple touch ups and it was done.
