Ah yes, I will trying to replicate this That's flattery.

The only thing that I find distracticing, is I think she was wearing contacts, because you can see a circle on the whites part of her eye, on her left eye.

I really like it a lot! very catchy! Any tips on your post-processing?

Wow. Great technique. You can really see some great skin texture but then it has those nice blobs of color that look like light leaks in an old film camera. Love the eyes the best. Well done.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Happy to know that you like it.

I've posted some 'loose' tutorials on my blog (not of this image, but others), where I turn on and off layers and explain what I did... Check it out if you're interested.
