Was unsure about this one until I started messing with it.
Its got something but can't put my finger on it.

Your turn - sorry if this is a little soon after the last one.

Another lady....another abundance of hair. A Rogaine dealer could go broke here.

interesting eyes, but not the finger i thought it was going to be

I'm sure by now you all have noticed how my "Photo-Based Art" contributions tend to be on the "realistic" side.

However since I love b&w ink drawings and paintings I thought it would be interesting to experiment with this photo.

First adjusted the levels and color then used the "stamp" plug in in CS2.

I had a got at turning her into a painting.

...watercolor (felt appropriate since the topic is the finger). I added Paint Engine with Watercolor2 preset too. Lots of healing brush work to clean it up. I can't tell you the preprocessing since it was intense (i.e., wouldn't be able to reproduce it if I could; lol). Attached is a lower quality crop. Below is a link to the full high quality rendering.

This one really stumped me ( i think she is quite scary really )

Very Haloweenish, Palms. I would not like to see that peering in my window.
Also had a go at this strange looking lady using pens in Painter.

Vey nice sketch.

Unique pose...

A whole mishmash of effects... Finally ended up with primarily Artists Oils (clone) and Grainy Blender in Painter atop Paint Engine > Watercolour 3.

Yes - reminds me of the phrase "a deer caught in the headlights."

Thank you Pavel 123 and Palms for your comments.
