I agree . . . nice photo.

Very nice renditions posted.

n the one I draganized (?), and the other I just played around with smart blur, followed with a color tweak and painted over a mask for her eyes-colorizing them. Not sure I like how the blonds translated after saving it for the web. It changes somehow.

No, I didn't take the photo, I found it somewhere linked to something else that was here on Retouch pro.??

[CathyH]

LQQKER, I like the soft colors you got, very nice.
gHulms, I like the second one better, the first one has odd high lights from the nose to the forehead.

I really enjoy all the various styles.

Glad you got this one going again. Fun pic to work with. I like how you added the shading...adds some mystery.

I've been experimenting with Topaz Clean (to simplify) and Painter (to arty it up...) Brush: Den's Funky Chunky used as a cloner.

Ah; this thread's back. My last Guilloche effort was so 2008; got so many more cool toys since then. This one was done using my free toy (FotoSketcher; I like free. ).

[lkroll]

Sorry Cathy; used your smudge version for my latest Guilloche. Anyway, decided to do a Bilateral Filter illustration too. Really like G'MIC's Bilateral filter and no longer need to use Xero's Supersmooth because of it.

[LQQKER]

Lyle - Although I'm not familiar with the filter you used on your last post, the result was impressive. Very nice!

[lkroll]

Thanks LQQKER. Used G'MIC's Bilateral filter in creative ways for the result.

[CathyH]

Hey those are looking really great, neat treatments.

[red_limit]

Nice work, but may be you lost skin texture.

Thought I would turn my recent marbles binge into a pearls binge. lol

That is so cool, what would it look like if the pearls were a little bit smaller? Or maybe smaller just on the face?

[lkroll]

Hey Cathy; sort of a combination of my circlism binge with my marble binge. The detail issue is the problem that I really never resolved with circlism. Only real way is to place and size the dots manually for the details needed, and I'm way too lazy for that. lol

Glad you liked the results overall though.

I had a quick go I am pretty new with the smudge.

[CathyH]

segio, I really like the way did the eyes, they really sparkle.

Thanks for your nice comment Cathy I wish I could have done better though.

Imitation of a watercolor on a wet paper.
