Cool and very furry squirrel

@level_0, seriously thought it was F1 driver because of the cap.
I like to use same source images than others use, it's fun to see how different the end results are.

[Issabella]

Squirrel is a really outstanding result, Dinasset. I like this effect applied to hairy animals, too.

Nidhogg, you are right, how different the results can come out from different ways or settings applied. I find that great and very creative, too.

Here some last results,

Issabella, all nice outcomes, I like a lot particularly:

Issabella, light study face is beautiful, I like how the line art resembles ink pen drafting
The other face is also nice. Thanks for playing.

Interesting colors dinasset! Only thing that bothers me bit is her throat.
It almost looks like she was meditating and musing for a throat line.

it depends on our morale, state of mind etc.

[Issabella]

Playing this style a bit more.
I added texture at the end of the process.

More dramatic

[Nidhogg]

Nice to see you experimenting dinasset & Isabella, that is dramatic. I like the mood on the elf.

[Issabella]

Thank you so much, Nidhogg.
Dinasset, I love your last outcome. It's dramatic but it has something more. It seems like a painting, too.

Using several "engrave" samj filters:

Satisfied enough by my "dramatic" cartoon posted previously, I continued with that flow.
Here other results.
(the best one so far, sometimes I need to throw away the result)

Real nice dinasset! Love the light studies.
See the glich in the "loves the feeling" image? The vertical line in middle is caused by simple local contrast filter,
when you have parellel processing set to auto it does that sometimes.
I like also hopi point.

Issabella's cat is wonderful, the other eye is glowing.

@level_o thanks for joining again

Thanks Nidhogg, I noticed it: good to know for everyone applying that G'mic filter (and very likely any other G'mic filter using parallel processing)
