Hi Everyone,

This is my first atttempt at restoring facial damage. Your comments are welcome. Are there any good references for facial reconstruction?

Hi Alan you have made great progress.  I found a few areas.  The two dots on her tongue should not be there.  At least I hope thats right.  There is a horizontal streak going across the photo some of which is still visible on her dress, and there is some sort of streak on the child's left arm.

Hi Alan,

Very brave of you to work this bear!

There are no shortcuts when restoring facial damage, try to use what is there.
Cloning the other eye rarely works well an usually gives an alien like result.
The teeth are less visible.

Good luck!

Hi Everyone,


Here is the revised version. Thanks for the input.

This one is a real bear Alan. I think she has a closed mouth and eyes are almost closed, much like Hannie's suggestion. Its one of those really hard ones as the damage is over the most important parts. This is just a rough try from the original.
