A Night At The Fair

[cardmnal]

Went to the county fair the other night and thought I would share.

County fairs are fun! I love the rubber duckys - do they have a duck race?

I love that big wheel - spinning fast (hopefully a long exposure) - I'll add that I love to see them from afar, but you won't catch me riding one.

Was reading some cartoony tut and tried a bit of image indexing with some masking...

I couldn't think how to go with this one, so I was just messing about and this little fellow appeared so I went with it.
Now it looks a little like a rooster to me, but that's me, what do you see?

Yep! The beak is in the center and he has two big green eyes, and a lot of multi-colored feathers - looks kinda like a bantam rooster I once knew.
Peter - very cool!

Was going for a Cezanne', but it turned out to be a Kroll. lol

[Kraellin]

hey, maybe it's not a cezanne, but i've always enjoyed a good Kroll

[lkroll]

Thanks Craig. Now I want to see a Kraellin.

[Kraellin]

well, i'm still working on my 'van Gogh' filter forge filter, so that one's out. how bout a renoir or maybe a charcoal? ok, well, maybe not a renoir, but at least somewhat impressionistic

i'm not real happy with the charcoal. i may have to look that filter forge filter over again and do some revisions.

[lkroll]

Having too much fun with your toy Craig. I see some potential with your charcoal sketch is you tone the colors lighter and add some paper texture. Maybe a da Vinci filter.

[Kraellin]

hehe, yup. love my toys

the charcoal sketch isnt really my filter. i've used it with some success, but i'm just not real happy with it. i started modding it last night after posting here. heh, now i've got a colored pencil filter. lol. so, more modding yet

and i like the idea of adding some paper texture(s). i'll look into that.

Since I like the Guilloche stipple look, thought I would apply it to the duckies.

[Kraellin]

interesting look on the ducks. had to look up 'guilloche' though

[lkroll]

Yes; another maze with solution.

[Kraellin]

cool best i could get was a little squiggle in the upper left corner

[lkroll]

Yes; you need to manipulate your image prior to processing. Remember blacks give you solid white while white gives you the actual maze paths. Greyscale give you random results (info above is a hint to what I do).
