Little Lady in Profile

As I was nosing about at Morgue file I found this one and had to have a go at it.
I hope you find it interesting enough to try it yourselves.

the original can be downloaded here:-
http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?d...fhbvtah5e0qt62

It's 4MB so not really for dialup users

Enjoy

Peter

Re: Little Lady in Profile

Definitely like the soft feel of your version Palms, and thanks for opening this thread again. Thought I would go illustration this time (using the Three Bar Sin gradient technique that I've been touting for a few weeks now).

Re: Little Lady in Profile

AimeeBear--amazing. I'm looking through the various forums for the first time, and I particularly love this! As a mom of little ones, I appreciate the sweetness of the smudged look. Did you do this in Photoshop or Paint?
