Trying a new technique to take a picture, convert it to a 16 color bmp, and then retexture with game texturing.. first real attempt went ok, however I had to do some airbrushing on the mask for some of the mask colors. Heres my first attempt (minus the lighting as I am still learning that)
Definitely a promising technique. Looks like at this stage your loosing too much of the detail in the not-water protion. But looking forward to seeing where you go with this. Cuchulainn.
