paint, portrait

author says:

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhh looks horrible....please view in hig res.

BWR says:

You have to make that bigger. It is 475 X 484px which is way too small. Images can be up to 3500X3500. We need to see the detail in your Photoshop and even at "Hi-Res" we can't.

author says:

Dear BMW....how do I do that....just take my photo into photoshop and enlarge it? I dunnno this side of pyxleyes is so challenging. Thank you.

How many megapixels is your camera or are you scanning film?

lchappell says:

Nice job removing the background.The "high res" is smaller than posted picture though.

BWR says:

Perhaps it's not. I believe the web page resizes the preview image to 954px wide, which will auto-resize the vertical dimension.

author says:

Thank you....I need all the help I can get. How do I make this larger...will wait until you guys advise before I change it.

lchappell says:

Use Image size option in photoshop.

Alt+Ctrl+I on a pc.

author says:

I did it but it still looks lousy, so I put up another one that had more pixels in it. Thank you

lchappell says:

Nice work removing the string on the man's arm!
My only suggestion would be to try and soften the edges of the sack. Try a soft brush and the blur tool.
Good luck.

author says:

Thank you ....I will try that ............tomorrow!

BWR says:

Whatever you did it looks 4 Brazillion times better!

author says:

Thank you....I just switched the photo. This one I worked on a few days ago but wanted to make it "better" so did another one and made it worse...ha.

The portrait needs to be 17th century style, not modern.

author says:

feel free to remove it then.

The process used was mainly cutting out parts of sources, adjusting sizes and colors and warping some parts into shape using puppet warp.
Masks, layer effects, glow, subtle drop shadows on some snowflakes, emboss, and various blending modes were used on different layers.
Some parts are painted using the source brushes and others are painted using the brushes which come already installed with photoshop.
The background is just a gradient layer fill with an overlay of a "render clouds" layer.

I didn't enter this contest because it seemed like such a boring subject to me. But damn did the artists do some fantastic work! This one really amazed me and was (I think) the highest rated chop I ever voted on. It's amazing what this program can do, and it's amazing what you (yes you author) have created.

author says:

Wow Thank you very much BWR. I consider that extremely high praise from you.
I am honored.

Mahalo to you too seestah.

still26 says:

I am especially taken with your notes which really help out newbies to photoshop. I love everything about your work but I did not warm up to the coloured in aspect...but that is a truly subjective opinion on my part. Your work is always over the top perfect.

author says:

What coloured in aspect are you referring to?
The scores I get tell me that my work is average. It is far from over the top perfect.
If it was over the top perfect, my scores on here would be in the 90% range
I appreciate your enthusiasm though. Thank you.

Zizounai says:

No one is in the 90% range. Your scores only reflect the votes, which are sometimes unfair and do not represent your real qualities. Your work is more on the over the top quality side than on the average side

(5 years and 407 days ago)

BWR says:

What Zizounai said is spot on.

(5 years and 407 days ago)

author says:

Thank you Sylvie, Olga and BWR. I appreciate your encouragement and high praises.

still26 says:

I think it's a typo, or I was high chewing magic mushrooms. I meant the red berries in her hair or rather red berries in general that's all. See, Sylvie, BMW and I all think your work is wonderful...and three of us cannot be wrong.

author says:

Chewing magic mushrooms? LOL. You are hilarious. Whether people like the red berries or not is subjective for sure. I love the frozen red berries and left them red deliberately for contrast. Making them all blue, just looked too boring to me.

Lovely chop.

author says:

Thanks BWR.

Ahhhh haaaa...it's you. I want to THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting that tutorial. I absolutely love this and I'm going to try to do it. I also love Marty from Blue Lightening as I do understand him and I think that in my limited knowlege of Photoshop I could replicate this. It is simply smashing. (ok you can stop smiling now)

Thanks Olga. Have fun with the tutorial. I look forward to seeing your end result.

Author, this is a photoshop contest.

author says:

I manipulated this image in photoshop, cloned out the background and used filters and selective saturation ....does that not qualify?

OK got it. Will do. A couple of my entries I cannot show SBS because I'm traveling right now without my stock of photos, so most likely they will be disqualified. Thank you for clearing it up for me.
