I did some of my own experiments on photoshop overlaying images using the image above as an example. I used 2 images of myself; 1 of my face 'normal', and 1 of my face with exorcist make up.
I used different opacities for different layers so that the bottom layer could sow through the top layer but still have elements from the top layer visible.
I used different lighting filters, for example I used overlay and hard light for the above and below images.
I erased some parts of the bottom layer for the image above to allow certain features to be emphasised more than others, for example I erased the area on the top layer that was covering the sunken eyebrow part and I erased areas were the scratches were so they'd show through.
Overall, I like the look of the darker ones more than the lighter one as the darkness encapsulates the mood of the expression on my face and emphasises the shadows. It also makes the cuts look really gross which is beneficial to the look of the image and the meaning behind it.
This image is made up of 2 different images than the ones above. 1 of my 'normal' face but with a different expression and the other with creepy porcelain doll make up. In the make up picture I am wearing blue contact lenses that distort my eyes so that they are creepy looking. I am going to use contact lenses in my final product.
