Hi,
Here is a photo of Fluffy the ape...taken in Gibralter...at least thats what our guide said his name was..i think he should be called Grumpy, cause he looks it on the pic...nervous about visiting the apes again as the last time we went a baby one did a woopsie all down my arm... :nod: yuk..so i didnt get too involved with them this time....and yes somewhere there is a photo of this event...just thought you guys could cheer him up by altering is appearence a little...

Patricia.... :pleased:

Do I detect a bit of a smile...or is it a know-it-all smirk?

Steve

Nice one Steve....the painting i mean....ah the smirk...are you thinking this was the ape that did the woopsie two years ago????? :lmao:

Patricia...

Grumpy Old Man.

Welcome to Retouch .....I am sure you will enjoy... :happy:

Patricia...

You're a bad influence on me, Craig! :lmao:

Doesn't something like that always happen when you are trying to impress people with how animals just seem to "take to you?"

Steve

Nice one Steve....the painting i mean....ah the smirk...are you thinking this was the ape that did the woopsie two years ago????? :lmao:

Patricia...

You have been busy...

Margaret a nice soft look...

Swampy yours is fun...i like your humour....and its well done too...

Yes Goose he looks a little happier...maybe cause hes had a hair cut???

Been visiting these apes since 1988...they were quite well behaved then Steve...over the years they have got quite scary...they jump on your head and if you have any food they steal it...a little ape stole the guides lunch from his people carrier...clever thing can open car doors...and they are always raiding the little gift shop that sells icereams....they have been known to go down from high up on the rock ...into town...causing chaos...you can imagine if you have doors and windows open!!!!! :nod:

Patricia...

Thank you PatriciaKay

My son visited Gibralter 20+ years ago. They were much friendlier then. I hear they have become a real menace.

Sorry, I couldnt resist.

It's getting harder and harder to just just filters (I'm getting pickier). I still had to do some mouse overs, but this one is over 90% filter work. :)

Sorry, I couldnt resist.

oje... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
I cant resist :lmao: :lmao:

You're a bad influence on me, Craig! dee dee, i'm a bad influence on everyone ;)

What strikes me as funny is that it seems to be that the grumpy monkey is male ! but there again i have seen that face when i mention shopping :lol: :lol: :lol:

left him to his grumps ( usualy the safest way )

Palms

I used Gimp.
After small tonality adjustment (Curves) I simplified the image
with so simply tools as Erode and Dilate filters.
Then cloned it on a white layer :happy:

Hroadhog...This is great..a real smile...do tell whose teeth they are???? :confused:

lkroll....nice one...know what you mean...filters are great...but i am also trying to learn to paint.....i guess its just learning the programs....layers etc... :dizzy:

Palms....lovely smudge job on old grumps or should we say smilie now????
About the expression i know it too...for shopping but even more when the garden center is mentioned... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Barbara...Dobra...maybe thats not the correct spelling...really nice...the gimp program looks interesting.... :nod:

Patricia...
