This is my brother\\\'s girlfriend, painted gold. We painted her from her chest up, and did her arms, hands, even her hair. We then went down to the studio, wrapped her in a gold table cloth and started shooting. I have a more shots, that I can post after the challenge.
The photos were shot in RAW mode, and I noticed that by changing the white balance from flash to shade, I got a brighter gold color. I then adjusted the levels, USM, Burned the background to make it darker, and cloned out the top of her heel that was peeking out of the table cloth. I also adjusted the curves of her irises to make them more \\\"robotic\\\". When I was all done, I ran this through Neat Image to help make her look more robotic as well.
Cropped, resized and added a border.
I don\\\'t know how well this will go. On my computer, this is very vibrant gold, but on the hubby\\\'s computer.. it\\\'s slightly bronze. I am hoping that it will do ok even with the color change between monitors. I also wonder how many other women had to endure hours of being painted gold!
:)

Creepy and Cool! It seems somehow slanted, which is wierd because the line is directly in the centre of her face. (whoops, dont mean to insult her eheh.)
