afternoon fun

[ibclare]

I downloaded some very nice feather brushes for a different project today, then I wanted to use them for my own purposes.
Here's a link to the brushes created by Falin Brushes: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=feather+brushes#/dfqpex

The original photo is by a portrait artist/photographer, also on deviant art:http://ksu-matyakh.deviantart.com/
My intent was not to improve on her photo -- it doesn't need it IMO -- but to have fun working with an image I've kept in my library for awhile. It helps to build on solid ground.
You may like the original better. :mrgreen:

Here is the original:



Here is my manipulation:

May I suggest go to image > rotation 90 degrres ccw.

Nice looking brushes though.

I am trying to work out if the original was an illustration or a heavily edited photo the hair makes me lean towards photo.

Me likey me not see you on Skypey no more.

I worked on it part of the time in vertical. I am pretty sure it is a photo, like you said, much manipulated.

I've been working extra this week so not around much, not nearly enough for my preferences, .

Actually I like what you did with it better. Putting in colors and turning the hair into feathers was brilliant. Do you have any more works like this?
