I've had a request from a family friend to touch up an old navy photo of his dad. He basically wanted the facial features to be more visible and the image sharpened a bit. I can do that, but I told him about PSC and how other people have done this, and, as well as getting the original request executed in a couple different styles, there are also usually great colorations and other creative chops done. He thought it sounded great, so...

I invite you all to take a crack at this image, for practice and/or fun. Scanned it in with a professional, expensive-as-solid-golden-shit scanner at my own Dad's office for best resolution. Dunno if the results were worth the time, but whatever...

Here is a link to the image. It's big, so didn't want to post it on here.

I don't know that, what i can do will be what he wants, but for a old salty dog i will do my best. Some of my best art work(tattoo's) is still sailing the salty seas. Anyone who has ever been in the Navy, deserves the very best. So i hope everyone gives it a shot and does what they do the best.

HAHAHAHAHAH, brilliant Sci!

haha! Nice, Scion.

And those look great, Micose, I like the style you chose.

Hope more people decide to drop by; those other threads like this one always have excellent and humorous stuff.

If I get a chance this weekend I'd love to give this a shot. Is there a "deadline" associated with this?

not really. He asked me to work on it, and I had it for over a week before I even got a chance to scan it in. You have at least a week's worth of time.

haha, NikolaiDK, niiice. I'm sure he'll appreciate that one.

If not he can be Napoleon, maybe??

and one normal pic.
