Dragan and/or Fiscus Style

[Fabian]

Hi everyboy.

Mi son wants to have a picture from him in the Dragan and/or Fiscus Style. Is there anybody here who can help us? I have made a picture from him at my studio.

Very nice, enigma! I want to be draganiced too!

Seriously, can you share with us what you did?

[superkoax]

here is my rough try...made in 10min...haven't done any skin retouch...just adding light and background...didn't have any good backgrounds, so I ended up with a picture taken from an urban street somewhere(free stock at www.scx.hu)

enigma: nice one...just a minor flaw is in the ear...it looks like something is sticking out of it, but it's the light that shines trough...lucis art this???

Hi there

Desaturated...darkened and sharpened.

Still trying to figure out how to do both styles...but here is my current attempt...hopefully I'll figure it out in time.

LOL... cheers.

The one I did took about 15 minutes.

First thing first was to replace the background by masking out the grey backdrop and letting the graffiti show through.

Then I used these two tutorials, in this order.

Lucis Arts Emulation

and then

Amy Dresser Technique (method 1, method 4 and finally method 5)

@ superkoax: I tweeked the effect on the ear and reloaded the file here.
The large version link (above) now points to the new version.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Maybe later I'll try the true Fiscus style which will take longer than 15 minutes.

My try.

just Channel mixer -> monochrome -> ONLY blue +100%-> set layer on Hard light. and i have some things done on the skin..

[enigmaphotos]

I quite enjoyed this one so I did another for fun. Influenced by Florian Schneider.

Another try with a background.

I used a Draganizer action by Sharon Lee Core that I found...somewhere.

[leuallen]

Used techniques similar to enigmaphotos. Put him in the getto.

here is my attempt.
I think this technique is best used on aged faces. It was a challenge to enhance the pores & lines of this youthful face.

but hope you lile.

[admirer]

I gave this an attempt using filters and blend layers with a touch of burning at the end. Its not great but i like it.

[Syd]

Leuallen, I like the background you have chosen. The pose itself is quite static and that long diagonal in the background makes the whole picture look much more dynamic. Great choice.

I have never tried this style before and didn't managed to get that desaturated, dark, oversharpened, high contrast, blue-steel look. In fact, I ended up with a highly-saturated, airbrushed, almost cartoon effect.

Hello together

Thank you all verry much for the works. I think the Dragan Method not works verry good for this young face. Whats about the style from http://www.sachawaldman.com. He love the pictures from there of 50 Cent so much.

after looking at the site you said your son liked the 50 cent picture I had to try a different approach...

-worked on the shadows and highlights with d & b
- added background
- added noise

hope he likes this...if you want I can send either psd file or jpg !?

cheers
