Posterised Flattened Portrait

[sbisson]

An experimental image edit, passing through three different image editing tools (all with different features), and several different filters, going from JPEG to vector to bitmap to JPEG again.

I was trying to duplicate the effect used for my head shot on my Server Management column, but at the same time trying to get a BD-styled line edged effect. I'm quite pleased - I've ended up with just the look I wanted.

What a fine portrait. I've always liked that look myself, especially the line edged effect. Any tips on how to emulate that look?

This is wonderful! If I weren't so attached to the Dave icon, I would be an imitator.

Just out of curiosity, would you be willing to do a similar rendering as a commission? That illustration style would be perfect for a project I'm working on, and I'm sufficiently Photoshop-illiterate that I'd be better off giving it to a professional.

I like the original of that picture, and I like that treatment. Well done.
