Angler's Cool Digi-Art
Apr 24, 2023 19:09:39 #
I thought I'd post my son's backyard in an attempt to copy Angler's digital art style. I did this entirely in PS. Original was taken by my son on an iPhone. Sadly - I flattened the file except for a final curves touch-up. I really like Angler's and I'm inspired to try this again on the right photo - thinking decaying barn or house.

Leaving the sky realistic accents the vibration surreal image of the yard. The real sky was a good decision waltnetto.

Have you been warned that playful pp is addictive? 
The effect works really well on several of the elements here, I think, the grasses and fort/playhouse in particular. Enjoy your journey and be sure to come back to share new results!

Tried it including the sky Dpullum - Didn't like it at all. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts

Now I know where the shaking comes from when I am separated from working with PS! There is no cure...
Thank you for the comments!

Not a fan of that technique at all, sorry.
No apology necessary. I'm not a fan of many, many aspects of life (and PS).

At first I didn't like and I went away. I came back for another look and started to like it. Went away again. Came back once more and decided I think I could see this framed and up on the wall. I don't think I've had that feeling not liking and then thinking its good enough for a wall hanging before.
Good Job. WOW I surprised myself.
Thanks for sharing.

Well thank you Jim-Pops. Isn't life interesting in so many ways!
Additional info - I said the PP was all done in PS but I couldn't remember and I had flattened the file. That didn't sit well with me so I spent some time trying to recreate the effects. Turns out the effect was done with the PS sliders in Oil Paint. (of course I did a curves levels adjustment to warm the tones up and a "select sky" to eliminate the effects from the sky).
Further experimentation (and this may come as no surprise to many UHHers) the level of the effect has a hidden control... DPI. I lowered the original dpi from 300 to 72 and the results were astounding (not better). I then tried other DPI settings and each large change made the image look quite different. (I never changed the sliders inside Oil Paint). I really enjoyed the exercise. So my original post is on the first page here. This one is the 72DPI version so you can see what I'm babbling about. (oh- I didn't exclude the sky on this one)
Thanks for looking.

Googling the PS Oil Paint filter, I found a list of the effects that you can control with sliders. I've attached a screen print below. You mentioned "level of effect." That's usually an opacity slider....Further experimentation (and this may come as no surprise to many UHHers) the level of the effect has a hidden control: DPI...
I'm nearly 100% positive that the change you documented isn't related to DPI. But I haven't been wrong yet today, so I'm due
Let me know what you discover, if you get a chance.

I really like the first one better. This new one is too abstract for me, can't find anything to relate to.
