Your Pet's Picture - Comic Style!

[Jessika]

I found a cool tutorial today for PS that I've been playing around with and its SO COOL and FUN and so I've been playing around with lots of pics. It's a VERY cool effect! Here are some resized examples (the resized examples do it NO JUSTICE, you have to view a full-sized below):

And here is a full sized one:

It's over a 2MB image so it may take awhile to load!!! And this isn't even the highest quality either, I had to compress this image to make it smaller lol

ANYWAY I wanted to extend this offer to you --

The first five people who reply tonight I will make this image for you using a picture of your pet!! All I ask is that you send me a full sized original, high quality, and a picture taken in adequate lighting (not too dark or bright).. It doesn't even have to be a picture of your pet if you'd like one of your self or family, go ahead! I would offer a cartoon caption too but I haven't practiced those yet. Maybe that's a job for tomorrow eh??

I can't stress enough though how important it is to have a HIGH QUALITY image!! If the image isn't high quality to begin with, the finished product WILL NOT look that great. Here is one I did with a poor image, the original on the left and the finished on the right:

See how it turned out... not so good? LOL

EDIT AHH I made one of Charlie today... I LOVE IT! It's 2MB+ in file size though so as a forewarning to those of you on slower connections ;)

Naw its not but since I don't use PS normally it took a little longer for me at first. But regardless there are soo many steps it DOES take awhile lol

What effect is it?

[Laura's Babies]

That is a cool effect! That would be cute for a Christmas scene on a Christmas card. HUmmmm... Try this one for me.

[Jessika]

What effect is it?

What do you mean what effect?? Its a multitude of a BUNCH of different effects. There are a LOT of steps involved in making it ;)

Laura's Babies, I'll get on making it in a minute :)

[wolfie]

I know it's not last night anymore. Are you still doing it?

Here is Daphne, pretty please! ^_^

[Jessika]

Of course! :)

Here you guys go :D

[finn's mom]

I don't have anything like what you guys have...but, here's another santa hat picture of Finn...sorta cartoonish...but, it was really easy to do. It doesn't look as cool as yours, Jessika, but, it's just the yahoo edit, so, that's why. :)

Those are just to cute! I have a problem following most tutorials as they assume you know where what you need is located and I DON"T!!! :mad:
Thanks for doing that for me.

YEAH I KNOW what you mean!! Especially with a program I have hardly ever used before, lol. But surprisingly enough either they explained it really well or PS isn't as hard to use as I'd thought. ;)

[Addie]

Wow, that's cool! Do you think you could make one for Lucy?

[Jessika]

Of course!! :D

[wolfie]

Thank you! It looks great!!!

[Chica]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/chica1/mybabyoldphoto.jpgCan you make me a comic photo of Chica?

[Jessika]

here you go! It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped though :(

If you had a larger image perhaps I could try again??

[poofy]

I have a program that does just that if i can find it..lol..It was free..will try to find it.. ;)

[Jessika]

yeah I've found most automated programs though don't achieve as good quality as if you do it yourself though. I even downloaded the plugin for PS to automate the process, but I've found doing it yourself step by step you can really customize it and set your own levels for stuff instead of having it automated so it turns out much better!

[manda_moo87]

Do you have a link for the tutorial? I'd love to try it! :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Do you have a link for the tutorial? I'd love to try it! :)

[Suki Wingy]

could you do it once and save it as a layer style??

[Jessika]

Yeah as I said though those one-click ones you normally don't get as good a product from though because all the settings are pre-set and settings that may work with one picture under one condition may not work on other pictures. That's why I like doing it step-by-step, that way you can fine-tune the settings to what looks good for that particular picture!

And Suki Wingy if you're talking about my tutorial, it uses like five layers or so.

[Jessika]

could you make one for her?

For who??

[ramanth]

Where is the tutorial that you found? I'd love to play with it. :)

What is the Yahoo edit..?? :)

[Jessika]

Yes I do not believe it is compatible with PSP because PSP is lacking a lot of the functions that the tutorial requires. But it works flawlessly in PS :)
