That's done with 3 G'mic filters, no brushes.

The effects are subtle.

Nidhogg: I don't know if it's the colouring, the pose and style of the model or the soft fake painting effect, but that last one is spot on eighties girl magazine .

Yes there's a hint of the 80s pin up, and fantasy art style.

Here is the Original, it was from Pexels. I've worked more on my presets, aiming for sketchy look with the engrave.
Original - Engraved - Colored.

Nidhogg,my favorite,today and now, is # 19

The fantasy style? If I get a consistent workflow, I might write a tutorial.
With a single color background, the result turns sometimes very ugly having too regular shapes that does not look like painting at all.
But I might have already fixed that.



New posterization method to create colors for the cartoon workflow, now there is no need to begin from scratch with colors or paint over the engrave color layer to get the result I want. Getting closer to that Vectorish Pop Art style.

Very interesting!

I have to make an exception to the rule posting only babes...but only once because of this weird glass face!!
The original was a doll, lol.

Still playing with weighted voronoi stippling and the StippleGen2 to create magical marvelous marble-balls,
but I wanted to test alternate method without having to use other applications.
Fake stipples by G'mic spotify. Quite easy process. Same spotify settings on two duplicate layers.
First with cut on, to create BW mask layer. On another layer with cut off and you'll get exactly same stipples in color (HSL[lightness]).
Used the mask on the colored layer, applied the mask layer, refined the roundness and added inner bevel using layerfx.py
