Der Rote Schädel

Der Rote Schädel (The Red Skull in German). Taken at the big Marvel Universe photo-shoot.

 

This guy... wow. That was some mask and he was a trooper in letting me use my ring flash to take a very well-lit cosplay portrait.

 

I added in some post processing to age the image (going for an old colorized photo look); added in a B&W layer with sepia toning; a rendered "fibers" layer (to give it some graininess and texture); and brushed out those effects to highlight the Skull and faded/blend out to the edges. His mask was outstanding but I used a healing brush to blend the mask area a bit better around the eyes and eliminate white flecks as latex masks attract lint.
