You definitely found a wonderful smile for play Amica.

Wonderful smile, Amica

Lots of rich texture. I have no idea, except at the end used paintEngine. The second is a duotone. Had a little trouble with interlacing with the halftones, so lost some clarity correcting for it.

Lyle, lovely

Alex, what? no blue? You disappoint me...

just joking, really nice, I love that frac plugin, too

MA, very different

I desaturated, buzzed, cut out. and then cropped to get more of the smile

Palms

amica999 · #7 07-18-2009, 04:52 PM

Very nice, Palms and interesting crop, too

Grant, this is sure a lovely piece of work. Well done

GerryB · #10 07-19-2009, 04:18 PM

Nice work, Grant.
A few filters and experiments with blend modes.

Kraellin · #11 07-19-2009, 09:45 PM

amica, good picture and i love that style of sketch.

very nice, lyle. for some reason i want to call that style 'west coast'. not sure why, but there ya go

(it's a good style

).

alex, good texture. captured all the good points of the image. nicely done

miningart, a little rough on that first one, but still, nice. and that grainy 2nd one is interesting, too.

very nice, palms

beautiful smudge, grant

i like that one, too, gerry. where'd the frame come from?

Kraellin · #12 07-19-2009, 10:29 PM

i had a go at this. i made a new filter in filter forge. it's sort of a paint daub or pointilism or impressionist, or just junk... not real sure

both of these are from the same filter.

Kraellin · #13 07-19-2009, 10:56 PM

hehe, ok, i can do these all night. i dont do this too often, but i took the output from one filter and fed it back into another filter; both filter forge filters, one mine, one someone else's.

GerryB · #14 07-19-2009, 11:14 PM

Thanks, Craig. The frame is one of my own. I make all my frames from scratch, or they were at one time. I have a collection of several "one side of a frame." The sides are all vertical and were started with the same colors. The thing that changes is what kind of layer styles I use. When I decide which one I want, I copy that side to my project. If the longest side is horizontal, I rotate the layer 90 degrees and scale it to fit the side of the picture and the thickness i want. Then I make a copy and rotate a side until I have a right angle. I miter the corner then merge the two layers. I make a copy of the resulting layer, rotate it 180 degrees and miter the remaining corners. I merge these two layers and add a few layer styles. From start to finish it takes about 5 minutes to do one.

WoW! Some great renditions presented!

Thanks for the play Amica!

I see "Cheech" Marin...

amica999 · #16 07-20-2009, 10:20 AM

Gerry, very nice.
Craig, very different, I personally prefer no. 3

OB, well done

GerryB · #17 07-20-2009, 11:29 AM

Thanks, amica999, for the compliment and for the nice picture to work with .

Steve Conway · #18 07-21-2009, 09:24 AM

Looks a little like Cheech of "Cheech & Chong."

Steve, that looks really nice, but what happened to the teeth?

This one was fun so I tried a couple things. first one is 2 actions on yop of eachothe and a bit of cloning to fix the right eye. Second was a minimalist version of the combo. Man I'm in trouble now that I know this site is here.

Kraellin · #27 07-22-2009, 10:51 PM
