I'm curious:

What special effects are you using to get the illustration-like look from a standard photograph (ie gaucho guy) ?

just keep adjusting the contrast higher, while trying to balance in enough brightness. Then desaturate and adjust until you have removed almost all gray, and have only high contrast black/white.

You can finish it off by adjusting the offset under the exposure controls. Then just separate out the white and black into 2 separate layers.

Oh, cool. I thought it looked like The Man With No Name. It's a cool pic.

Been working on a style lately. this started as a picture of some dude wearing a halloween costume of a gaucho.

Love this image bro

I really need to get back into photoshop, but with the house hunting and work it's been pretty manic around here. However patience has indeed proved to be a virtue and today we bought the house of our dreams (Our dreams aren't that big LOL) but we ended up with a 3 bedroom house, with a conservatory a large (for us) kitchen. And we are over the moon.

I am looking for an Avatar. Can someone help me? I am wanting a woman with fire red hair with green eyes in a midevil emerald green dress with a orb in one hand and a dragon sitting on her shoulder breathing fire. Baby dragons at her feet with the egg shells underneath them

So...this is a test, I guess...

Hello Lady. Just few things to consider.. scale of the avatars are very small 200x446, on what kind of pose you want your lady to be? If standing, her eye color won´t be much recognized, portraits are best for bringing out the eye colors. More you want in the picture more busy will picture be

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Oh yours is too small in size..
This one should work

a reply to: dollukka

It is very nice to see ATS own master artist return for a bit.

I'm sorry, that Beaker has me in fits of laughter, it's all I can do to type.

What exactly is it you need when I can breathe again I'll give it a go.
