I thought I'd send Mountain Man on a trip to Antarctica.
I hope he makes it back ok

LOL! Great manipulation...you'd never know it isn't him. In fact, are you sure those aren't his mountains in the background?

A woodcarving built with PSP7 for the tree spirit challenge.

Al, that's really excellent...looks like it's actually carved on the tree.

Big ditto from me, Al. That is very impressive.

That is really great Al. Can it translate to photoshop?

Thanx for kind words guys.

Debbie, I'm not sure what I did

, but I'm almost certain I used a PSP default filter. I'll look into it later today and let you know. (FWIW, I think PSP is better for Photo Art than PS.)

BigAl · #68 11-29-2002, 10:26 PM

Here are the steps I used in PSP7:

As the grain on the wood was horizontal, I first rotated MM thru 90°.

Effects> Texture Effects> Sculpture and then used the drift wood preset. (see what I mean about PSP having filters that make things much easier!)

If you look at my earlier pic, you'll notice a black edge on the right and top of his head which looks rather out of place. That's because I was too lazy to fiddle with the light direction. I then went and rotated the drift wood bitmap and ran the filter without rotating MM, and I'm sure you'll agree this one looks much better.

Sorry peeps, saw this and just had to do it. No offence is meant, it's jst a bit of fun

Yeah, I know it's not accurate, but you get the idea . . .

Collin, you got the WRONG MAN! And we're gonna prove it in court!

Here he is feeling abstract.

After reading Danny's excellent tutorial in Photo Art 101, "Combining Dry Brush and Cross Hatch Filters", I had to dig this great image up and play...

Many, many creative and very well done renditions here. This is one of the most varied threads I've seen so far. Amazing what can be done to one photo!

A big thanks to Visual Eyes' (wherever he is

) for his graphic tutorial, very informative.

Throwing in my version, kind of a tribute to one of my favorite artists here, Trimoon.

I started with Danny's tut, then just kept going.

Glad the Photo-art 101 tutorial gave you some inspiration.
Thanks for bringing "Mountain Main" back to life, Pam. You sure made him look better than he started.

RE: Visual Eyes
Sure miss his his work. He's a very talented artist.

I wasn't going to submit anything for this one as I'm getting into the thread so late, but I needed my daily 'fix' of work in the Digital Darkroom....so, here's my rendition.
Regards,
Bill C

Bill C, I like yours, I think it is original,
it looks like a mixture of hand drawn and computer image.
Did you use a sketch action for it?

Pam, yours look like a real painting, what did you do it
after Danny's Tut ?

DannyRaphael · #75 04-04-2003, 03:35 PM

Bill:

Nice to see you tackled one of my fav's, "Mountain Man." Glad you bounced him back to the top.

Very interesting effect... almost looks like there's a piece of glass between the outline and the texture background.
