Sarge

Found this at Morguefile.
What can you do with it.
I thought it right for this treatment.
Enjoy

Re: Sarge

Really like your smudge sketches Peter. PM, that's an awesome colorized version you did. Really like you DAP version too OB; Sargent is the icing. lol

Anyway, just adding a Guilloche using Fotosketcher and a few additional blends.

Re: Sarge

Alex & Mike - nicely done

and Lyle- oh my goodness, however did you do that?
[the small rez does not do that justice, you must open the high rez up all the way]
where did you get the signatures? that is just too cool!

Re: Sarge

Don't tell anyone, but I did a search and found a plate of sigs from the original Macintosh computer (a copy of the sigs were placed in each Mac then). I created a seamless texture of the sigs for the canvas. Later, I created an AOP and now that DAP can use any image as a canvas, I ported my seamless sigs texture to it as well. Details below (original, just used a bunch of layer blends to create the sig collages; DAP takes it to whole new level imo).

Re: Sarge

Thank you for this challenge. I'm learning from all of you.

Did some simplification and painted in some color.

Re: Sarge

One more go at Sarge. This one I just reduced toward continuous tones and used absolute colors.
