These kittens were found by my-worker. She ran a foster home for them for some time. Now the kittens are all adopted and I hear that their owners are very happy with their pets. Their names are: Princess, Akasha and Pierre Trudeau (very distinctive finger). All photos look like a good objects for artification.

The photos are here

What a cute kitty! I'm alergic to cats, but not the digital kind. :-)

Minimum Sketch, duped and set to Multiply at 50%. Merged and some saturation tweak. Smart Blur on color layer. Painted back with history brush

Some motivation from DPReview's Retouch forum got me on this binge now. Mixed a version of Flaming Pear's Mr. Contrast with a blend of GIMPressionist with Graphite2 preset all set to Value. Some hue/sat adjustments too.

Can't resist kittens! So glad they have good homes.

Lovely renditions! I especially love the smudges, Palm and Patricia - that is something I have never learned to do, and I love the look, especially on kitten fur!
