I was playing around with a face that I did a few days ago.
I just took the head and started to sculpt shapes that I saw at the same time, like shadows that could create a cool shape or closing a little bit my eyes to see something different and this guy started to appear.
Later I did a SSS and hair test, I liked the render so I started to modify in photoshop just for fun.
When I was photoshoping I thought it was like a mirror in a fairy tale, when the hero is approaching to a mirror and instead to appear his own reflect it appears some kind of deformed monster.

It took me a few hours, I didn't look at the clock but I guess it was about 5 the whole process.
the pipeline was: max->zbrush->max->photoshop
rendered with mentalray.

Thanks for viewing,
Hope you like it!
