This didn't turn out like I'd hoped - my vision was stone/rock/mud texture on a human face. Apparently projecting an image onto a face does not produce very high quality results.
So I had to work this one a bit in PP, and in the end I was happy with it. I don't think it's DPC-friendly, I bet it'll score sub-5, but I don't care. I like it.
Selective shaprening, curves, hue/sat, USM, various dodging/burning, yadda, yadda, and voila. =)

Huge thanks for the favorite, and to those who actually look up what a Golem was. Cheers!

Intense eyes and great texture. I'll be interested to see how you did this one. Great picture, but the only problem is I don't see the four elements. I even looked up Golem in Wikipedia and didn't see a match there, other than maybe earth, though I found out it isn't something from Lord of the Rings. Despite that I am giving it one of my higher scores based on the uniqueness of it.
Is this Earth? Air? Fire? Water? A portrait with a grunge texture layer? I don't know? More of earth if anything with the cracks and kind of dirt feel. Dirt as in Dirt, not saying it is dirt all though if it is it is good dirt.............well you know what I'm saying right. Right. Am I right, or am I right, or am I right. Right. Nice processing!
