Re: Bird Assortment

I didn't read that closely Nancy until you posted this reply. I'm looking for a Fox too, but I'm so ugly that even skunks shy away. lol

Re: Bird Assortment

Might have went too far, but enjoyed the play. Don't ask for hints though (don't think I can reproduce this even if I wanted to; just threw a bunch of filters and texture blends (and a few Script-fus) and voila.

Some folk may say yes Palms, but not me. I try to add spice to everything I do so that it won't be mundane. lol

Sort of cool to see manipulated filters make magic too. One day I might actually break down and paint, but after so many years, it's still cool to see filters applied in a timely manner do their magic.
