You did an especially good job on the eyes, Novi. I liked how you added emphasis with subtle blurring in other areas.

On my interpretation I used a Photoshop action to manipulate the background and isolated her lovely face with such great eyes onto a separate layer.

On #2 I used variations of the Impressionist plugin's Charcoal > Default preset for the background and Akvis Sketch plugin to restore some detail.

Hey, i did some more retouch work with this picture, im not realy good in making pictures artistical looking.. but hope you like.

Beautiful girl and nice photo. I smudged her a little.

Dodge and Burn, added eyelashes, Photo Filter to warm it all up, Changed background, added lens flare. Hope you like it.

Hi Novi,
I hope you don't mind I painted you a bit... :grin:

Sarsa's Hair Brushes;
Linda's Smudge Brush;

Canvas Texture selectively applied with Layer Mask.

here is mine
based on trimoon sketch

Used Double Difference (blur center layer) and desaturated result. I then used Xero's Abstractor (been playing a lot with this gem lately). Some clean up work at the end. :)

paintered and Photoshop'd for resizing

You definitely have your smudging technique down Gilbert. I Like it. :)

Gilbert, very nice job.

Here's another version:
Smudged;
Snap Art Oil filter;
Smart Sharpen;
Texture added.

A painted version from me as well.

Quality took a bashing, so here's a link to a higher res copy:-

Wasn't sure how this one would turn out, but I think it turned out nicely. I retouched it entirely before creating a painterly version of it.
