You lookin' at me!!!

[Peter S]

I found this at Morguefile while looking for something else (other than a cat), and thought it may be a good one for here.
You can find a larger original there, just search for the file name.


Have fun all.

Thought I would try a Arcimboldo interpretation this time (have to use my gih brushes once in a while; lol).

[Kraellin]

[Kraellin]

cool surprised i've never seen that before. thank you

[lkroll]

I thought so too when I first saw this artists work. Been using various simulation techniques to try to emulate this, but to no avail. Just can't beat the human touch; had to paint this one.

[Joeven]

That's one ugly bird.

Joe - I can't stop laughing.
My wife thinks she got this as an email awhile back, until I proved her wrong.

[Kraellin]

try this, lyle: two bananas for the beak, two grapes (purple concord) for the eyes, corn silk for the hair, and maybe some popcorn for the neck

joe, that's hilarious!

[lkroll]

Cool idea Craig, but I don't have those particular brushes and am too lazy to create them right now. lol

[Kraellin]

you did that with brushes? was that with gimp or something else? i would understand if you had said psp tubes, but brushes? i'm stumped.

[lkroll]

Yup; Gimp Image Hose brushes. Exactly analogous with Paintshop's Tubes. In fact, you can convert tubes into .gih brushes. I would provide the link, but gimptalk is currently down (they have been having a lot of technical difficulties of late).

Edit:
OK; gimptalk stayed up long enough for me to find the link (see below).

[Kraellin]

aha! it is tubes... gimptubes gotta admire the folks working on improving the gimp. they do one amazing job to give us this all for free! quite amazing!

[lkroll]

But you have to admit Craig, it is now ugly in a pretty way. Nice rendition Jordan.

I have to admit, I think he's kind of cute.

[Peter S]
