>> Special Challenge - a Tribute to Julia <<

[DannyRaphael]

The subject of this (now closed) challenge, Julia, died unexpectedly in March 2007. She was survived by her children, 3-year-old Andrew and 9-month-old Aurora.

The creations in this thread were submitted at the request of RetouchPRO member Janet Petty, a close friend of Julia's family. Janet wanted to create a memorial of Julia for the children.

Very sorry for the family and their loss Danny. May do a few later, but thought I would start things off with a wc b/w sketch.

Edit:

Revamped everything after a better read of Danny's request. Hard to reproduce in the large what I did in the small, so I'm keeping close to the original motif with a pencil. Here's the full hires version.

OK; one more before going to the store.

Edit:

A little easier to reproduce, but I still preplaced the smaller version. Here's the big version.

I'm having a problem downloading the files. I'm not getting a downloaded .TIF file, I'm getting a QuickTime movie file. ?

Swampy do a right click and "save link as" that should get you going.

Impasto this time. Some mods to the Impressionist Vegetable Paint preset. Some smudging and such too.

I got the quick time movie also...a right click didn't give me a tiff option...only gave me a PRO Save As Source, PRO Save as quick time... which I said I didn't want to buy quick time. Must be doing something wrong.

On the page with the image links, RIGHT-CLICK the image link and you should get the option to SAVE TARGET AS. This will let you save the image and bypass the Quick-Time movie.

Softened the babies highlites. Attempted to make the bubbles more pronounced, cropped, blurred, whitened eyes a little, put a little smile on the baby. A cutie.

Thoughtful project.

I'm sorry some of you are having trouble downloading the pictures. I was hoping that by posting them on this site at a higher resolution that it would actually be easier. Those who have mentioned right clicking on the image name and selecting save target as or save as shouldn't have any trouble. I used this site for my students. They didn't have any problem saving their pictures by the right click method.

Thanks to all who have participated so far. This is special for me as well as for the family.
