Don't know why this one had no takers..... so I gave it a shot.

Mind you, it did take quite a lot of fixin' before and after Painter.

Hey, that's why they call the place RetouchPRO -- ya gotta fix 'em before you paint 'em! (LOL)

Anyway, nice job on isolating the players with the black background. That's a real classy looking effect.

Excellent, Roland!

The very thing I need to practice on, thanks Danny! Another great result Ro, you're addicted to Painter?

I don't know about LeRoy, but it sure gets my vote!

Ro, what can i say; i'm a fan.

jaykita, very nice. reminds me of some of those pop sort of posters that were done a few years back.

i decided this one needed a bit of hacking.

Craig --

Ro -- As usual, wonderful rendition! Love your choice of crop, also.

jaykita -- the colors seem subdued (compared to many of your creations), but you certainly have a knack for this style!

Yes it is, Craig, now that i came for a second look. I like those poster effects. Did another one for "lady with a rose". Btw, yours is a riot!

Kraellin · #12 06-18-2005, 11:48 PM

thanks CJ, Jaykita. fun stuff

i was going to do it with a baby, but that just seemed wrong

yes, i liked those posters also. big splashes of color that yet communicated the image.

Yes, i'm back

i know noone remembers me, but i used to be here very... um, unpopular

What surprises me is, how much i missed this place, and how long it took me to return...

so, here's my "creation" - applied motion blur, masked here and there bits out, made 3 copies from each channel as softlight and gave them some offset... well, that's about it... i'm sure all of you missed my weird creations, right?

btw, terrific stuff, everyone!

Welcome back! I was glad to see another of your creative (never weird) creations.

Don't stay away so long this time. There have been a lot of photos posted for manipulation while you've been gone. Do have a go at some of them!

i'll try not to stay away this time... i had just too much fuss w/ research, work, life... um, universe... and everything

anyways, it's GREAT to see the ol' bunch still here, and some new people [to which i'll of course seem as newbie

] that i hope to get to know soon...

[and yes, as you can plainly see, my english is still as crappy as it used to be... and as it used to be used, haha
