Not sure why I never tried to do this before. Did some strategic pre-processing then ran my image through Autotrace then imported the SVG result into GIMP with paths. Exported the Paths as another SVG file and then opened the result and saved as PNG. Pretty cool loose sketchy line drawing effect if you ask me. :)

Thanks Drac. Again, why I didn't think to do this before since I knew this was there is anyone's guess. Sometimes lightbulbs still can turn on in this aging man's head. lol

Very cool effect Lyle. :)
I think some of the best stuff happens by accident.

Now that's impressive. In itself it's neat but the possibilities for combination with other things are endless.
