Had a spare minute to experiment (i.e., play; lol).

Lyle, I was missing your nice innovative effects. This one is great!

Thanks, Issabella. Lost a lot of inspiration due to work; oh well.

I can't access those link
Maybe unlock your account for the non subscribers to be able to see your photos?

Patrice, I can see/open both links.
I don't know that problem can be in your side.

I really like this outcome, in particular how the hair came out. I think if one could tweak so as to remove the dithering of the planar surfaces of the face (or turn it solid grey) and turn the black into solid black, one could genuinely confuse this for an ink/wash drawing. Nice work, lylejk!

Appreciate the feedback, Griatch (and sorry for the belated reply; busy once again). Yeah; just toying with an idea to blend engrave with lined lpi dithering. Call it a work in progress. lol

Nice engrave effect Lyle, and something else on the face, maybe newsprint lines?
I've had not enough spirit to gimp last 2 months. Busy with a big work project and in the evenings I've been doing other things, watching B-movies etc. I guess it's normal to lose your interest for awhile sometimes.

Indeed, I used newsprint line lpi, Nidhogg. Also, trust me; I feel your pain. lol
