Here's a pretty young lady in a busy scene. You may want to isolate her before you artify or leave her there. No restrictions on use of this photo. It came from Stock Xchange. Have fun.

A combination of Painter and PS. Den's brushes, clone, blends.

oh wow; you really changed it, kiska. looks much better than with all those folks around. very nicely done!

one alternative i thought of while looking at yours was adding in maybe one other person, sort of in the background on the left and a bit in the dark. not sure why... just a thought.

Kiska, I wouldn't have thought to make it so dark and dramatic. That's beautiful!

Ditto.

Great colors and suggestive form.

Steve, that's so creative and works really well here! Good job.

Steve Conway · #9 08-09-2005, 10:16 AM

I noticed, the more I looked at it, that no one seemed to be aware that she was even there. Looked like she was in some kind of time warp.

Hence this interpretation.

Thanks.

Steve

a very apt observation, steve, and an equally good job on portraying same. i've seen this same thing with other street performers at times and it always surprises me. i almost always go up to the person and comment or contribute, but lots of folks seem to pretend these artists arent there. quite odd.

well done on catching this and portraying it.

Why ?
not sure I also probably done it a bit backward
but ran a watercolour than isolated harpist and basket ! put harp strings back in (roughly ) and put on a black background

Palms

Kraellin · #12 08-10-2005, 12:31 PM

wow, palms! that looks like something out of a fairy tale book. really nice

steve, did you remove your image? i dont see it now.

Craig

edit: lol. never mind, steve. i was looking at the wrong post.

Palms, I agreen w/ Kraellin, my first thought was it looks like a Walt Disney princess, and I thought those strings might be tough, but you replaced them flawlessly.

Steve Conway · #14 08-11-2005, 07:21 AM

Palms, it does look like a cel from a Disney movie.

Nice one!

Ok, here's my take on this one. I'm REALLY showing my age by knowing the words to Scarborough Fair.

Agreeing with Steve,

I tried to set her even farther apart from the crowd.
