Mistress Elysia --> Could you explain or show on a half filtered picture - what the salt&peper filter does? I don't recognise it...

:lol: Most excellent, Ziggy! I've not played Warcraft, but I've seen the artwork...I love the purple skin :wub:

As for a salt and pepper filter, all it does is remove the speckles a bit from a picture (lovingly referred to as 'the specklie horrors'...)

e.g.

Vhaerauns Boys - original. Nothing done to this at all - only scanned.

Now with a S&P filter...

The difference isn't so marked when the pictures are small (to show it effectively, the pictures would have to be their original size i.e. much bigger than this!) but it just shows how slighty smoother the end effect is.

:unsure: Sorry for much hugeness concerning pics...
;) I never considered these two as portrait material because the are very cartoonish!

Actually I was thinking to digitalise them :D

I thought You'll make a sample like this - a half is filtered, and the other is not (noise or smoething first in line in Gimp).

Elysia, these are amazing!

i'm a recently hooked neverwinter fan and am hoping to start an arts course at the end of the year. i have photoshop seven, if you like i was thinking that perhaps i could touch up some of your work for you? sorry my email isn't working at the moment (hotmail seems to have crashed, else my comp's unwell... *grumbles*)

so i was thinking perhaps we could do some pieces together? i'd love that if you're up for it. my email address is shadowangel7110@hotmail.com and i have msn messenger, so if you're interested you could add me and we could discuss it a little more..

Thank you! I don't mind if you want to touch up some of it up...I know that in their raw state, my pictures don't look very 'Baldurised' (nor NWNish either!!) so go ahead ^_^ I'd like to see what you make of them!!

I actually do have quite a few uncoloured / unfinished sketches that we could work on... and if you have anything in mind, feel free to email me too. I don't just to do humaniod portraits, I do dragons and mythical beasties too, so if any of that sounds interesting... ;)

I haven't been able to draw much at all until today...so I decided to get down a sketch that has been sitting around for a bit in my head.

Yep, another drow! ^_^

I am working on other things for other people, but sometimes I just like to get the chalks out and make more mess than is feasibly possible.... :P

Wonderful! And with chalk to boot. I especially like the web-choker thing as well as the tiara, head piece, whatever.

^_^ Chalk pastels give the best drow skin tone I've ever come across! Said I was going to give the muse a kick and see what it could come up with ;) Thanks!
