Specific my grandfather as "the thinker"

[Commandrer]

good evening everybody,
awsome that a forum like this exists. already a HUGE thank you in advance for everybody who is willing to help me
2 things in advance: english isn't my first language. so please feel free to correct or teach me. I am happy to learn
Secound: If this is allowed: please post a kofi or paypal link on your result. Your next coffee is on me

i am planing some kind of collage from my family. Everybody got their own picture, doing "the thinker".
Here are some examples:


Sadly my grandfather passed away not long ago... but i would REALLY love to have him in this collage.
Is there any possibility to "add" an arm and make him "a thinker"?

Here is my grandfather:


Also (only if its not to much to ask): Could you "delete" the background and the bottle on the rigth bottom corner?
Once again thank you in advance for your help!
Please feel free to ask for any more detail.

Greetings

I gave it a shot. I am not happy with the skin color, but it was as close as I could get. I am sure you will get lots of other editors that will want to try this as well. Hope you get an image you can use for your collage project.

With my condolences.

Definitely not what Rodin envisioned or what the OP had in mind and I know I'm taking the idea too far. I hope you won't find it insulting or in poor taste.

The hand is good for the man and the colour is not a problem, the hands can be less red than the face, the mayor problem is the light that is totally backwards that's why it doesn't blend as well as it should be.

Here's my effort - also did the best I could on matching skin tones of the hand.
Removed background and bottle and returned with transparent background:

I hope you don't mind if I ask for this again pretty soon, since you did such a great job, maybe i could also add a few more passed away family-members
Once again: THANK YOU!!!
