My buddy Craig and I were talking about how creepy gas masks look so I decided to make a very dark-looking mask with smoke coming out as a visual example.
I made this image with parts from clouds for the nuclear explosion, added color with a low opacity brush, and created a slightly comic pointalist effect with a filter.
I got inspiration from this after seeing my friend Emily's blog. I used a flare effect to make the tooth sparkle and added the lipstick with a low opacity brush and a soft light mask.
