Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

DannyRaphael · #1 08-18-2007, 12:44 PM

Thought some of you would enjoy working on this one. He kind of reminds me of "me" -- about 35 years ago. (In my dreams, of course.

)

Have fun...

Ah Danny it's good to dream - sometimes.

Thanks for the pic.

Trying for a 'brushy' look, not my preferred style, I usually go for a smoother more blended finish but that wouldn't have suited this picture IMO

...NOT. LOL

Did have some hair in a past life though. Anyway, I combined MW's Sketch action with Impressionist (James Brown pencil preset) for this one.

Based mostly on the PencilPixels One Click Stylized Poster Art action plus a dose of Photoshop lighting effects.

Of course, I was younger when this picture was taken.

...so was Danny, so was Peter.........

GOLDCOIN: I really like the exaggerated version.

Went for that "rugged" look.

I couldn't resist the hunk.
I used smart blur to soften and make more like a watercolor, then I used Lucis Art Whyeth and Sculpture to enhance. I used the smudge tool with a watercolor brush to smooth out some areas. I used hue/sat to bring up color, and a layer of paint dabs set to soft light for visual texture. I finished up with some paper texture.

Very nice, Cathy. Lots of character!

Kraellin · #15 09-03-2007, 10:51 PM

lonk, that is excellent! was that done in painter?

LonK · #16 09-04-2007, 07:54 AM

Thanks, Craig. Glad you like it. Nope, I don't have painter (or Photoshop for that matter). This was done in my usual editor: good old, cheap, but capable, PhotoImpact 8.
