CS3 effect test - C&C welcome

[kybo]

Just playing with a couple of pics I took. Wondered if anyone liked the effect:

PetrolTed's


Sarg's


Ant's (pre 'tank-slapping', 'roller coaster' ride )


Cheers,

You could resize them so that they don't take three days to open on here!!


I'm not sure.

I tried something similar a few years ago and then got quickly bored with the idea. But you know, they'd make great posters somewhere.

My measley attempt (which is still a bit big too!!):

Personally, I think the OP's pencil effects need more contrast to be effective.

Yes please - if you do can all that in PS then you can also resize to 750px (like wot it says in that sticky at the top...)

No, really don't like it. It reduces the contrast to near zero and makes them quite hard on the eye. The original pics look fine from what I can see! Sometimes the more over the top effects work well, like Martin's or this:-

I really liked them during the time it took for those huge images to load,
I was effectively watching tight close-ups with a great pointilliste effect;
but when eventually the loading process had finished and I could see the whole of each image on my smallish screen; I was 'disappointed' ?

Add a bit of colour?

^^^Much better^^^

[kybo]

Thanks for the C&C, peeps. I appreciate it in all forms, pos and neg. If I think I'm doing it OK but no-one likes them then I need to re-adjust my methods a bit

I think I was trying to emphasize the sketch too much as a bit more colour does look better, IMO.

Sorry (for those still on dial up) about the time to load the images. I thought I had posted the 'smaller' files. I'll resize them.

Thanks,
Scott

Hhhmmm not sure about it to be honest. Makes the car a bit cardboard cut out looking. I think it still needs to be integrated into the scene more to stop it looking 'cut out and stuck on a background'.

Now if you'd sorted out the peoples reflections on the bonnet

[Neek]

what about this then?
