Found a nice shot of a male model...

Happy artifying. :)

Hi Danny
Here is what I did to the Dude.
I desaturated, then bumped up the neutral tones with cyan.
Dodged and burn some contours of the face.

did some darkening, d/b, sharpen, and then b/w sketch added back color, cropped

Well done Cathy and Keiser, whose crop I esp. like.

I, too, went for a contrasty look with this BW conversion (mostly a combination of the L and B channels).

OK, I know my style is weird...

The main bit of this was the cut out filter (plus a few other little things of course)

OK, I know my style is weird...I'd call it very creative and inspired myself. :)

Loose and thick brush work. Here (http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6530/rp20dude20in20shadescopqh7.jpg)'s the full hires version. Attached is a crop. :)

Some nice styles displayed here, done a bit of filter play

Photoshop- sketch, smudging, cutout.
Compressed to very low quality.
