Ooo... very neat. I love the graphic look. Would it be out of line to ask how you drew Jack and the Doctor here? Great effect.

[rrr-nightingale.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I'm so glad you like it!
Of course, I am ready to share: I used Photoshop CS3 with Topaz Clean 3 filter (by Topaz Labs) to achieve this drawing/painting effect. This filter is a very cool thing! So I took images of Jack and the Doctor and used the filter on them.

Thanks for the info. I use Photoshop a lot, but mostly for photo enhancement rather than artistic work. I just checked out Topaz Clean and I'm thinking I might pick up a copy to play with. It's interesting, because a lot of these effects are something I normally try to avoid (I'm usually prepping images for print, and enhancing detail, not getting rid of it) but I love the art look of some of these, and I'm thinking it might be fun to play.

Glad if it's helpful :) I think this effect is very good for collages, as it helps to hide the differences between images if there are any (and usually there are).

WOW! Really beautiful! Wish I had seen it before I wrote my story on the same prompt. I would have let the guys go on a boat ride! ;-D

Love Nikki!

Absolutely lovely! I'd also like to know how you did it...but I'll be content if you promise to continue creating these!

Thank you very much for a very inspiring comment! Glad to hear you like! I used Photoshop CS3 and Topaz Clean 3 filter to create this wallpaper (and also some basic images, of course! I haven't drawn anything)).

This is magnificent--truly art. I find it amazing that without seeing Ten's face you have clearly illustrated that he is grinning from ear to ear. I too would love to know how you did this, you should do a tutorial! Do you have other works?

[rrr-nightingale.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!! Really glad to hear you like it)))
Though I'm afraid I haven't done much to Ten's face, as it is a collage (made in Photoshop CS3) - I have just transformed the Doctor's figure a bit to make it look like he is talking to Jack, and used some colouring to merge him into the atmosphere... and some filters, of course - Topaz Clean 3 among them!))
P.S. As for my other works, there are a couple of other wallpapers in this community (http://wintercompanion.livejournal.com/tag/artist%3A%20rrr_nightingale), and some stuff on different fandoms in my journal :)

[beachy-geek.livejournal.com]

I just went and looked, and they're all great! Thanks for sharing your technique.

[rrr-nightingale.livejournal.com]

I am really pleased to hear it! And I am always glad to discuss the technique, because it is the most important way how we learn to do all cool things :)))
