Description

After giving up on the sketch output of Poser as being too crude, I thought I'd give some other software a go. Photoshop has become an extortion racket so I refuse to use Adobe products, leaving me with Pixelmator, Affinity Photo and Filter Forge. After playing around and mixing filters in FilterForge came up with this, which while not brilliant, isn't too shoddy for a first attempt. Many years ago I could actually do this with a set of pencils, but heigh ho... Feb 2008 V4 in all her dated glory and Modo mesh Facial and body morphs the product of delusional skills Leena skin texture by JSGraphics Quarker hair by Quarker Open robe for V4 by Sshodan Filters used in Filter Forge, PencilDraw, Charcoal, Pencil and Vibrance then layered in Pixelmator Pro.

This really does look like it was done in pencil. Beautiful work!

Even if not a great fan of the filters in PHotoshop or other soft, I must say this image is absolutely stunning but I'm still sure you'd be able to do this with pencils...

sadly, what skills I had are now reduced to a level on a par with my youngest grandchild (4)... lol :) she is a determined young artist however, which is good to see

Looks super.

btw Photoshop CS2 (which is what I use for most of my admittedly infrequent postwork) is available for free as its no longer actively supported by Adobe, if you want to give it a go. Does most things the more modern and extortionate versions do!

That is very interesting to know Joe, many thanks for that info I will certainly take a look, although, with the Macs upgrading to Catalina very little old stuff runs on it as it is all 64bit only. My old box, used to run everything on Snow Leopard 32 bit without any problems until it died that is... it is now a large door stopper :)
