that is an awesome effect Sir Ian! I'm kind of squishy about the frame myself, maybe because it is digital, it automatically leads the eye to believe the painting is made that way too? Man, I need to get some pics up of my kit ASAP. One, for fear of Sir Wolf nailing me with my "probationary period is up Brother Patricius, here is your BAN!! Ye been warned!!"
and two, so that maybe some of you can play with my pics as well. All of those tricks turned out awesome, and I do love that oil painting technique. It doesn't hurt that your kit Sir Ian is top notch to begin with. I do think though the shading, particularly within the face makes it more a renaissance painting looking back on the 14th century, rather than a 14th century painting. By the time DaVinci and them showed up paintings did become as nice and detailed as any of today's cameras can make.
