Eyes- Me trying out Oleg Duryagin work



I found an artist called Oleg Duryagin and i really liked his work i decided that i wanted to create something similar as his work is very polished- these images where experimental i started with the colour ones at the bottom which i thought turned out quite well for my first go but as i started to get better at using photoshop i made them look more real. these images below are my tester i have a few more in my sketch book of how i got to the final image- 
MY CONCLUSION: 
The colour image i don't really like as they make it look to paint like but the black and white ones really bring out what i am trying to portray- i want the eyes to look fresh/untouched and bizarre at the same time. i think i need to work on them a bit more to make them look just right i want to incorporate them into my final images which would make the whole image look a lot better- creating a manaquin out of a human being is what i want to do , as model are just robot- they walk down the cat walk and up again- they have to do what they are told. I want to make the whole face doll like- no eye lashes- i think that this would make my models look more like mannequins and i want them to look as fake as possible.

The Perfect human ?

These images i took - they are mannequins- i have created them into these perfect people/aliens who look so fake that it is almost disturbing to look at. i like these but i think i need to create more- i have a few more ideas.

This is an artist that i found- His work is very interesting and exciting i find it very powerful, I want to create something with this- 

"My favourite thing is to show something in other not stereotypical way. It can be scary nuns, people pretending to cry or unhappy children - everything that is not expected to see.
I use artificial nature of a digital photography as a tool to reach the point between opposites such as alive and dead, attractive and disturbing, beautiful and ugly. Thus I’m searching to transcribe the feeling of presence that you get while passing the plastic mannequin."
