Oh, poor Miss White! Very clever concept, author.

looks like the same ethnicity only less lightinng. would be more realistic if the background changed too

I agree this is interesting final result, cool looking image but ethnicity look the same...maybe u could remove the whiskers and do some things with eyes and hair to achieve needed result...

Lovely work, best of luck author!

looks like u just did a b/w, and glow effect with a little sepia in it. but thats just what i see. good luck author

Whites are a bit blown out in the final version, but at least the tattoo is gone!

I wanted the whites to be blown out, it was an artistic choice

Author, just my opinion. It's still a nice image.
(Especially without the tattoo!).

No offense taken I certainly appreciate your opinion and feed back!!

Very nice final image here, author.

Very elegant!

Thanks! that was my intention!

IMO white should be on the outer edge of the hair, not so much in the middle. Good pic, though.

nice work gl author..!!

THANK YOU!

congrats...

nice colorising.... brings live to the monotone

This is very nice...wonderful colorization. The pastels work well with this image. Well done author...

Good job, clean and very creative!

Agree. great job and technique!

Here is a piece of art that can easily be underappreciated. This was a pain in the neck, eh, author? Your patience paid off - you did a great job with it!

thanks very much to aheman, itsmymoment, MossyB, lbadge320 & elemare like it!

Wonderful work, and nice palette you chose, GL!

.... I am looking at this piece and still liking it... can't explain

Huge amount of work ... masking until you were almost blind, no doubt ...not sure if that is how you did it but however it is a great, if subtle, result!
