Portraits using GIMP

Issabella - thank you.

Here are a couple of related portraits of two of my favourite fantasy characters from the movies, one with which I probably took some extra licence and embellished it somewhat. The other is more true to form.

Spoiler Show

The characters are Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Arwen (Liv Tyler) from the Lord of the Rings series. It was Arwen with whom I enhanced the fantasy, to make here an 'elven warrior queen'.

The first one is my favourite OMG but they are both great Loving the jewellery too especially the earrings.

Pat and Issa - thank you, I appreciate your kind words.

I like that very much, OMG

[oldmangrumpy]

Ella - thank you very much for your kind words. Here is another fantasy portrait of a Singapore Eurasian lady and I should have another 'outcome' to post here before Christmas.

She is a beauty OMG

[oldmangrumpy]

A sketch portrait of famous Australian cricketer/broadcaster Richie Benaud.

A sketch portrait of Basil Fawlty (aka John Cleese).

[Ella]

Richie Benaud I didn't know, but Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) I certainly know.
"Fawlty towers" a very well known series.
Well done, OMG

[oldmangrumpy]

Ella - thank you; sorry for delay in responding ... I was somewhat pot and bowl focussed

[oldmangrumpy]

Something a bit different by way of a sketch portrait of Princess Di.

[oldmangrumpy]

Now that she is no longer the German Chancellor, I presume it is OK to post Angela Merkel.

[dinasset]

Very good, OMG.

[oldmangrumpy]

Diego - thanks. Here is my portrait of Nyima McNamara an Australian indigenous model. I should perhaps call this one 'red ochre dreaming' in the spirit of her indigenous background.
