This is something I’ve been working on the last few days for an upcoming video. This is meant to be viewed large, so please click on the preview image above to see the detail in the high-resolution copy. I’ve managed to refine a style in Photoshop that involves home-cooked patterns, polygonal lasso tool, and lots and lots of layers (this one had over 75!). It doesn’t look as clean as vector, but I like doing it this way. The former pieces took about 12-15 hours to complete. This one took around 5-7. The process is getting faster.
I used this style several years ago on some movie-related portraits. I’ll upload those shortly.
