Tried to go for something a bit different. Used flexify filter to get swirl effect and blended with radial blur layer. There's a clouds layer in there and a sponge filter set to linear burn. Also some lighting effects. Hope you like...

Used Fotosketcher in colaboration with Impressionist #pencil>Geo Chaotic Chrome (size and brush mod), for this sketch. I will admit, when I first used Fotosketcher, I was not really that impressed, but after taking the result into Impressionist, it really popped my eyes open. As usual, I added a lot of other things to the mix.

Lyle-liked your first one, but your second one hit a home run with Erin
Danny- I really liked the first colored one you did, and your sketch is great. But just as Janet guessed, Erin is my puzzle girl, she really liked that one!
Peter-I really like that first one, with the plain background! But Erin liked the third one you did in the next set.
Sylvia- your style is always so delicate, beautiful!
OB-love the psychedelic colors
Allen- wonderful as always
Palms- I think the fairy wings were her favorite
Kim- very inventive!
Pavel- love your first one, would you share how you did it?

I thank all of you for your wonderful talents. Erin looked at every single one and she liked every single one.

Not sure that I remember all the details...the image was done in Painter and Photoshop. A brief outline:

Photoshop - changed background, shadow
Painter - cloned Photoshop image, used a large brush in cloning mode (one of the acrylic brushes) to mess up the image. then used a brush that gives just parallel lines (I think I used tapered digital sumi-e in cloning mode but I really should make a brush for that) to get some of the picture back. Background was painted with oily pastels and the same sumi-e brush, used soft clone to clone face..
moved to photoshop, made a blue sketch layer and blended with original
that's a condensed version

That's enough to get me started And as I've only had Painter for a few weeks, its great info.
thanks!!

Jordan i am glad that Erin liked my version, but i admit it wasn't guess work as my granddaughters love having themselves made into fairy's ( although i think that she may change her preference for craigs version now Rainbows are a close runner )
There are some great interpretations here too many to mention each one but love them all, as well as the different styles

Here's the link to making the fairy's if you wanted a dabble

and another tip dont let Erin help you make them, the decision making takes ages and ages

Craig-she loves the rainbow
Palms- thanks for the fairy link.
After looking at all of them yesterday, she wanted to know if I could do one of her with wings AND the puzzle effect.

and palms, even if she switches her preference to mine over yours, i'll still love yours! delightfully Disney!
