And please don't ask how this time; I couldn't accurately give you a step by step even if I wanted too. :lol:

As there were not many takers thought i would have a try with the ahb again

This was done using a PSP script from Angela Cable called Pointillist. I'm guessing scripts are to PSP what actions are to PS? Several different commands all laid up in one nice little bundle, so I'd be happy to outline the steps in the script (it's a freeware script) for anyone interested.

I then added a slight edge effect.

Thanks to all the great artists here at RP whose work and tips inspire me!

As is sometimes the case, reducing the original to under 100k changed the image somewhat so the full size can be seen here (http://www.garazon.com/RP/RP_anniv2.jpg) if anyone is interested.

sort of a pen and ink type thing.

Filters/plugins used on separate layers and selectively applied using Layer Masks:
* KPT pyramid paint
* Impressionist > #djroil24
* Impressionist > Charcoal > Default (brush = 40%)
* Original background with Hide All layer mask for restoring some detail

Flattened and opened in Painter IX
* Den's_oil_brush_luscious (used as a cloner)
* Blender > Just add water
* Blender > Grainy blender
* Save

Open in Photoshop
* Smear a little with Smudge tool
* Unsharp mask to make it look a little more painterly
* Added edge frame

Another one I missed first time round. Though not many takers for this???
