That is my contribution, I don't remember all the steps, but I can ensure all has been done only with G'MIC

I know one thing Mahvin. If I range to sell my cookies and this popped out the door, I'd be running fast out of that yard yelling "Help me Jesus". lol

I do have pointed brows as Ron Brooks so correctely conveyed in the caricature he painted of me many years ago akky. Paid a whole $10 for this painting as I recall. lol

Wow Lyle, I was always wondering where that image was from

Glad you like it Willy. Ron use to paint caricatures for folk at Disney World. He happened to be at our Mall those many years ago and I had a choice to either pay $7.00 for a b/w or $10.00 for the color. As cheap as I was, I decided I liked color better. lol

Ron did say I could use this painting for business cards or anything I so chose, so I made it my official avatar almost since then. The original render is pretty big so I had to scan it twice and merged the result in GIMP (what else; lol) and then resized (still have the original hirez but it's 20MBytes; lol). I guess when I turn gray (or worse, even more bald; lol) I will have to either color my avatar with gray hair or use Grecian Formula on me. lol

I love it so much

I would love a OMG Charector script, probably spelled that wrong,
It would be pretty complex, but maybe it would use some sort of Facial recogniztion method and then would enhance and make those features larger

Hey Cecila; I didn't original post directly the picture (indirectly yes). The original photo of me is below (it's rather big so be aware of that). GIMP will convert it to sRGB for you (embedded aRGB since I only use ACR to process my RAW files and didn't at the time convert it to sRGB).
