I was asked to post Cooper's picture in this forum so you could take a crack at him:

Age:
11 Months

Weight:
about 130 to 140 pounds and still growing

Disposition:
Sweetheart

Drooling:
none except for after drinking.
And he knows to come and have his mouth cleaned.

Hey Frank. Hope you like this one. I basically did some old fashion mouse smudging of your pooch and simplified the background with Impressionist. I also applied Flaming Pear's Mr. Contrast (actually did this step before Impressionist). The full rez version (around 800K) is here. The lower quality small version is attached.

Thank you Frank for posting Cooper he sure does look like a sweety but i don't think i would like his food bill, or have to mop up his footprints

I couldn't resist having a go at a smudge painting, all though i think i will have a go using the ahb over the weekend.
I hope Cooper approves

I really like this style of brushing (seen it before), but the closest I've been able to duplicate it is the dry brush. Please let me know.

Ikroll on this one i used Sarsa hair brush ( Nansl put a link up but i think there was a problem so here is another one http://www.innographx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3666 )
Liked your sketchy smudge especialy the snow looks like cotton wool !

Thanks for the link and complements Palms. Just downloaded the brushes and will try them out later on another possible victim (a ur) subject.

Palms,

Very, very impressive!

Now I'm getting greedy: do you happen to have the hi res version of the work that you did?

Thank you Craig and Ikroll for your kind remarks, can't wait to see what you come up with when you have both had your practice

I did most of this using Studio Artist

[Kraellin]

i like that, phil

this one is primarily using medhi's 'fur' filter with a bit of a twist in erasing.

[Kraellin]

had another go with cooper. he didnt seem to mind

medhi plugin and paint engine. Paint Shop Pro frame.

Interesting. Of the two I like your first post the best. The second I was a little bothered by the black hairs in his fur.

What to do about Cooper's red eyes. Turn them white or leave them red. Just a question?

[palms1]

Phil I agree with you I liked Craig's first post the best (really cool craig) although i don't dislike the second ! !

I also pondered on what to do with the eyes but decided to leave them red as i do believe ( cat lover here) that some breeds of dog do have the red eyes
