David Jaseck graciously approved using this image of his (for sale) classic car. (Thanks a bunch, Dave!)

He suggested rotating it a bit to get the horizon right... See the second thumbnail for his own interpretation (the sparkles are awesome) and to see what I mean about the horizon.

Have fun...

A bit of Fun

A little vectorizing with SA.

[DannyRaphael]

Well done, P and K. Talk about opposite ends of the creative spectrum.

SA = Studio Artist, correct?

Mine: A layer rendered by Impressionist > Pencil Sketch > Monochrome sketch and another using the Little Ink Pot "Sketcher" plugin...

[kiska]

Yes. Studio Artist.

[Kraellin]

you're starting to think like me, palms (though, i have to admit, my first thought was to rust and junk it) very clever and well done

nice, kiska. SA seems like a pretty good program.

also nice, danny. do you use the little ink pot plugin much? also, is there a method to have fewer lines, like almost just the edges?

I like all the versions of this cool car. Here's mine.
I gave it a paint job in PhotoShop, then enhanced the background color, used Xero filters Porcelain, and increased brightness and contrast. I sorta thought it ended up looking like an old colorized post card.

wow, raniday. that's BLUE. very nice!

I don't use it often, Craig, but I've only had it for a couple months.

It's got a lot of flexibility setting-wise, but it takes FOREVER to render even a preview and MUCH, MUCH longer to apply a setting to a layer. Example: Applying one of Photoshop's standard artistic filters might take 5-10 seconds where Sketcher might take 30-45 seconds for just a preview and 2-3 minutes for the entire layer.

The slow rendering sort of discourages experimenting, but in all fairness some of the effects are pretty cool -- if you're patient enough to wait it out.

re: also, is there a method to have fewer lines, like almost just the edges?
Not that I've discovered so far, not like a "Find Edges"-type of filter.

I have not had time to do much lately, so I thought I would give this a try.
I adjusted hue/sat in Photoshop and ran a watercolor filter and a surface blur. I added texture and duplicated the background twice. I solorized the middle layer and used overlay(not sure on this} mode on top layer.

Those ARE super rich colors, cat!

Nice car! Darn shame about that left front fender though. 8-)
