Creative Portraits: So Sexy

[kiska]

Dave, do you have the 'real' Studio Artist or the demo???

What did you use on this. I haven't found a good portrait brush, yet. THERE ARE SO MANY!!

Thanks

I have the real one. I rarely run accross anyone else that has it, which is a shame because it's a great program.

Dave, an SA question. Does the full program accept files other than jpg??
Also, can you build layers like PS, close that file and maintain the separate layers?

Thanks

It will not open images that are layered. It will open most common files such as PSD, TIFF, PICT. I usually flatten and change it to a JPeg. You can create and work in layers inside the program and save as 8 different file types. The big advantage of SA is that it is non distructive in that it doesn't and can not change the original image. It is also resolution independent. You can start with a 72 500x600 image and put out a very large file 300 5000x6000 image and lose non of the detail. Oh I almost forgot, It will not not export in layers it flattens before saving.

Dave, thanks for the info. Wish it would save in layers. Ah, well.

Here's a rather quick attempt in Painter IX. I'm not too sure about the colors, as I did this on my laptop and am never sure that I'm looking at it at the right angle. Anyway, here it is.

Ya done good, Patricia. I knew you'd come up with a creative interpretation!

Thought I'd just drop in and say Hi

And then I thought I'd do some painting while I was here Done in Painter IX with Den's Messy Oil Brush and some Just Add Water to blend. Colour/contrast adjustments done in PSCS2.

It's always a pleasure to see your handiwork, Pam. I especially like the enhanced coloring you did on this one.

Stop in anytime!!

Here's my take on the picture..

[lkroll]

Impressionist and Paint Engine (and some help from Flaming Pear's Pixel Trash). I added a final glaze step using Paint Engine and this preset that I came up with called Glaze. A little smoothing and GIMP's bumpmap and voila.

"The Look"

Thought I would polish the look some more in Painter !

[lkroll]

Just trying something different. Hope you all like.

I worked on this first in studio artist using an impressionist style brush. In photoshop I placed that on a layer over the original photo and masked out the eyes and lips some.

[kiska]

Looks good, Phil. 'Layer masks are our friends'.

Have a good day!!

Painted in oil mainly in Painter - then applied surface effect of image luminance for 3d-effect. Have enjoyed all the great versions so far!

I've also attached the vector (zipped that is). Have to have an SVG Viewer to see (and play).
