Time for something a bit different

level_0 - I'm pleased that you find the image relaxing

Back to Japan.

I like your results a lot, OMG. The portrait is superb.

[oldmangrumpy]

Issabella - thank you for your kind comment.

I saw racer-x's terrific, real looking Blender/Gimp wine and cheese image, and whilst I can't match that reality I thought I would try something more surreal

[oldmangrumpy]

I like the anime/manga style so had another attempt ... with Gimp you learn all the time.

Here is another one using one of racer-x's images in what's your wallpaper? as inspiration - a piston.

WOW, OMG! This one is really superb!

[oldmangrumpy]

Pat - thank you; glad you like it

[Erisian]

OMG omg!!! That is incredible! I doubt if I could have got a likeness like that.

[oldmangrumpy]

Erisian - appreciate your kind comments and the support you provided for me in the early days

George Harrison passed away far too early, nearly 20 years ago now, but here he is anyway ...

[Erisian]

Awesome work again OMG.

[oldmangrumpy]

Wallace, level-0 and Erisian - thank you all for your kind responses to my image.

[Pat625]

I have said it so many times! You never cease to amaze me!

[oldmangrumpy]

Pat - thank you for your kind words; when I started Gimping 5 years back it was all about filters, but this journey into 'painting' with Gimp has become most absorbing and enjoyable, if at times frustrating.

We've had McCartney and Harrison, so now Leonard Cohen (for Ella Louise, who also favours him!). Actually I probably 'bit off more than I can chew' with this portrait, as ageing faces have many subtle nuances ... more to learn!

[Tas_mania]

That's really good OMG. Portraits are hard to do and you have a natural talent.

[level_0]

OMG,
he is very expressive
