What if they crossed human and cat genes?

Pierre

[Marthig]

No matter what it's still cute
Talking about genetics seems that the same "mad scientist" manipulated the genes of the plant and inserted some of algae's in it ?

very original Pierre !

Such a sweet face! (Even when it's crossed with human, Pierre).


Experimented with Pointillize, fragment, on top of find edges etc.

[Steve Conway]

One more try.

[Alcar]

Black overlay and edge art, but this is how I saw the cat.

[Panpan]

Mad human cat scientist versus Nanls' mad robot cat scientist!

Martha, I added those genes to the plant by switching the a and b channels in LAB mode.

Very nice, 12... For the Painter rookies (like myself), tell us some of the brushes you used.

I am very new to Painter. I've been working with it for a couple weeks, so I'm certainly no expert. But here's what I do:

I used the Smeary Camel cloner for the entire image. At first, I use 100% opacity. The second pass, I set the opacity down around 35% and smooth out facial features, and leaves and such. The backgrounds I always leave much more rough for effect, and to bring the subject out a bit.

Once I'm happy with the Painter end, I bring it back into PS (CS2), and do the following:

USM, set to high radius (maybe 15), and around 50% for the level, but to your own taste. This gives the image a more surreal look. I also over adjust the levels slightly and increase the saturation a bunch.

I've done children outside for our studio that I've been really happy with, but this was my first attempt at a furry creature.

hi all!!

Everyone in Korea is busy because it is Choo-Suk, the Fall festival, in Korea.
During the Choo-Suk, we eat delicious food, and many family members get together.

photoshop work resizeing (600 * 855)

all have a good time....

Everyone in Korea is busy because it is Choo-Suk...

Had a quick go in Photoshop - mainly find edges, then water paper filter. The image cried out "watercolor" - but there were so many good versions so far that I tried something else.
The Korean festival sounds cool - of course good eating always does. What kind of food is eaten during Choo-suk?? You will have to give yourself a nickname so we can pronounce it.

Pavel...Lovely picture of the kitty cat...it so soft...

Korea
...Beautiful painting...you really do know photoshop!

Margaret...Like your watercolor very much...nice colors!

I decided to try and smudge the kitten...Photoshop CS2....Used an action for the frame...

Patricia....

[MargaretM]

Nice - PatriciaKay - I like the way you have kept the focus on the kitten and have the background less detailed.

[Swampy]

These are all so great.

I'm not a "cat person", but kitties are so cute! Great photo Danny.

I used the Grainy Wash Camel in painter then brought the kitty back in to PS for touch up and backgrounding.

>>Everyone in Korea is busy because it is Choo-Suk...

Margaret is right, "Korea", you need to give us a nickname in your signature so we can comment "by name". LOL Yours in stunning. Would love it if you would give us some tips on how you achieve that look.

I agree Margaret. Since that has been my focus as of late...

[DannyRaphael]

If you apply the Paint Engine custom preset "0Wetter" to a layer rendered by AKVIS sketch and/or Photoshop's Colored Pencil filter, it comes out looking pretty watercolor-like.

Anyway that was the basis for this one.

Yet another nice picture to work on

Cropped, burned, crosshatch filter, healing tool, curves, added some glint. What a sweet heart!

(I lived in Korea for 13 months back in the 70's. Neat place with a lot of photo opportunities. Wish digital cameras would've been around then. Loved your interpertation)

Playing with CS5.

Somehow missed this one the first time around. Lots of cool results. Thought I would do a fake smudge blend for this one. Thanks for the play Danny.

[lkroll]

Still not where I want to be, but I'm still having fun with these circlisms. Hope this binge doesn't last too long though (for you all's sake; lol).
