    I started w/ the Impression 1 pre-set in Fractalius and played around with the controls and then rolled the dice. I have now created a custom pre-set which I have named High-Key Sketch.

    Denise:

    Very interesting, gives me the impression that the bird is made of paper. The high key effect really draws the eye to the bird.

    Great fun.

    Real nice Denise. I think this would nice printed on matte paper or canvas. I like that you maintained just enough detail to create interest. Got to start thinking of doing some high key work.

    I just love the simplicity of this one. Your choice of Impression 1 really cleaned up that shell-strewn beach.

    Aw come on - it's really a fancy x-ray!

    Really cool and almost like an oriental ink/pen drawing - love it!

    Looking forward to playing with this stuff when I have a few months down-time from our travels.
    Cheers, Jay

    Beautiful work, Denise. If it were mine I might give the top of the head and the eye just a little bit more focus/sharpness. Everything else is dreamy...

    Thanks folks I appreciate the comments.
    Jules, I did add some more detail to the face area but felt it took away from the dreamy soft look I was going for. Thanks:)

    I like this one a lot, Denise. :) Has a very nice soft, minimalist look to it.

    I like the simplicity of this also and wouldn't change a thing.
