try playing around with the burn tool to add some depth around the patterns (especially where there are shadows). It's nice so far

thank guys
i'm taking a computer graphics course and this is the finall project... it's supposed to be an A3 ad for an exhibition about surrialism or something...
my inspiration is the almighty GIGER

my pic is nowhere near this painting but the idea is a biomechanic woman or something like that...

It looks great so far but here is what I would do :
The part I love the most in your pic is underneath her right eye (from our viewpoint) ... cos it looks like the pattern is carved in her skin. So I would try to have the same effect everywhere else (and it's also what Giger did on the whole face) So I'll get rid of all the white areas of the electric components, darken them or try different stuff with the-I-don't-know-how-you-call-them-in-english but it changes the way your layer merges with the one below

Post the final work !!

thanks for the reply plague and i agree with you, the only problem is that i couldnt find enough good pics with the right textures for the whole thing... and i tried to make a texture in ps but the result was really bad...

her right eye-lower lid- something needs done there- it's not
in unison w/ the rest of image.
Very nice image though
the image overall is has the same feel as the original
piece. you were very successful there--
do you have the option of personalizing it a little--
maybe a small area with 'moisture' in all that
dryness, or a focal point of color?
the patterns need to flow with the curves of her face.

for some resone its aa bit darker in the jpeg... so you might not see it but the area of the eyes shows more details...
