Made everything red-yellow, highlighted the face area, applied traditional war paint and upgraded his bangles to gold.

Thanks for sharing and for the play Dee Dee. Had some help from Toadies Metalwork and Xero's Supersmooth filters.

Re: Creative Interpretations - A Chief in the Maki

Trying to make a coin, but only have the die for now.

Any suggestions/links appreciated.

Re: Creative Interpretations - A Chief in the Maki

Swampy,
Your pictures are worse than potato chips - ya can't do just one.

I keep thinking that I'll just take a "relatively" few minutes and submit one. Yah Right!!

I end up doing a dozen or more and then have to choose a couple of favorites. And before that I have to find where the heck I managed to store them.

Normally, my approaches work better on buildings or landscapes but this picture lent itself better than most.

The one on the left is a Danny R action that I rediscovered a few days ago and the one on the right is a Pencil Pixels action. Both have several tweaks along the way.

Regards

Bob Mc
