Boy howdy! I've been working on this one for a week, a little each day as I couldn't stand the stress very long at a time

So here is my oil of this one.
I used the simple smudge tool on an empty layer in overlay mode.
Enjoy!

What an effort! That must have taken a LOT of patience and use of magnifier tool!

The only thing that could have taken you longer was doing it in pointillism. Try THAT sometime if you want to pull your hair out. I actually know someone who sits and makes little dots on paper and when she is finished it is a work of art, but MAN - I couldn't do that, or even what you did here with the smudge tool.

Thanks pal, for the kind comments. Actually it isn't difficult at all. It just takes patiences and time. After a while you catch on to how the Smudge Tool behaves and then you can get the effect you need. It was fun!

Angue:

OK. I confess. I used to do these kinds of picture puzzles when I was a kid.

Nice job on your rendition.
============
Woody:

The time was well spent.

Awesome effort.

On the other hand, this took about 5 mins. I used smart blur with 48/80
settings, then added texturizing with
2 pixel setting, and wah lah!

Woody, your oil painting is one of the best things I've seen on Retouchpro. The results were worth all the time you put into it! Wish I could give you a 5-star rating here! Oh what the heck...here are six:

Hippie, that rendition is really wonderful. I love the texture and the softness...reminds me of an expensive notecard. I am going to run out of stars! Here are six for you too!

There are so many good entries on this scene...must be one of those scenes just meant to be painted! I think I already posted applause for Angue's "paint by numbers and some of the others," but if not, they deserve it, because every single one of these is a unique and lovely interpretation. Best results yet on any scene, in my opinion.

Not much to say.. Watercolor, all work is in Photoshop

So many wonderful renditions - all suitable for framing

Gosh Phylis, I didn't measn it that way...

darkstar · #43 09-04-2002, 06:39 PM

Heres my attempt. Dont know what art style this is, wasnt really going for one in particular, just fooled around with blending modes and such and found a cool effect.

darkstar · #44 09-04-2002, 06:58 PM

Wow, whenever a get a few decent ideas and a nice source image, i just cant stop! Heres another try at it. Once again, not really sure what it is or how i made, but it sure was fun (isnt that the important part?).

Without a doubt.

If you fold in a little learning / expertise building with the fun, you have a perfect recipe.

Keep 'em coming.
