    Default Double frack'd Ladybugs

    I ran 1 fractalius filter on the BG and a different one on the bugs. Then I used a digital velvia action to increase the saturation and increased the contrast a bunch.

    I don't know what fractalius presets I used. :o

    Ken, I adore Ladybugs and have probably painted thousands of them. I like the grouping and the frat. effects that you chose. The one dark spot on the top left catches my eye a bit. Nice way to start us off for the week!!:)

    Ken, these are nice - they look like little scarabs:) The bg turned out nicely.

    Great frac image, Ken. These beetles look shined up and ready to roll! :)

    Ken, this is really neat! I love those glowing little beetles, like shiny little cars of the same name. :cool: I can also see this as a bunch of electric Easter eggs, but that's just me... I agree with Denise regarding that one dark area, could be nicer without it.

    What an interesting effect on the ladybirds. I really like the effects of the fractilius filter but have yet to try it. Might be my next project!

    I love the colours in this, so bright and cheerful. I agree with removing the dark area, otherwise wonderful image.

    Nice image and application, Ken.

    Looks like they are sitting on your knee, waiting for their lunch to come by!

    Cute... ;)
