Anyway, here's my jaykita.set file, zipped and sent to you. Hope no problem opening it. | No problems opening it... Just tried it. Great effect.
I'm seeing Category "Jakita WC" with "Watercolor (bright)." Are there others?
Thanks again for once again sharing your Impressionist handiwork. And feel free to be (arty) manipulative any time you like! You're so good at that. |

| | | Tigers are GRRReaT! Beautiful picture,
I love the funky colors in Neve's, Legacy~Art's and Jakita's versions!
There are some great painted effects I like in the others too.
Here's my steps
-duplicated the background
-ran Impressionist on this layer
(variation of Charcoal - black background, brightness 55, contrast 70)
-made a snapshot of the original background and used the Art History brush to bring back some detail (went for a broken pastelly look)
-intensified eye color
-saved as a psd file
-opened original and ran a sketch effect
-copied this to the top of the psd file, set blend mode to multiply
-ran Impressionist again, variation of pencil-soft light
-merged layers and cropped, and added paper texture |
