YUM & DROOL!!
Thanks for those.

Each one was better than the last! Any chance of a time-lapse vid or some screenshots so you can demonstrate your technique a bit?

Most excellent, dear Pete.

Truly great works.

Though, with your work arm, you may wish to be mindful of the area around her breast because the edges of her former bikini are still visible, but the enhancement on her arm is astounding.

As for the last work, Oriential, you may wish to consider adding a little muscle to her legs for balance but still, 'tis a stunning work.

Thank you greatly for these and all your works.

Peace

Thanks for you comments so far. Always appreciated.

Neon…LOL. One of the worst things anyone can do to my Porphs –even my drawings sometimes–is to inspect them in fine detail, cos you will see SOOOOO  many cock-ups. LOL.  I guess if I took more time to do them, they would be better. Sometimes they are a bit rushed cos real world stuff tends to rear is ugly head and get in the way occasionally. Thank-you for your honest opinions tho'. They really ARE a great help.

When I was first offered the opportunity to do stuff with photos with a computer programme, I decided that the results should be different. If that meant unbalanced, funny, strange, quirky, ridiculous or just plain daft, so be it. I'd like to think that, like my drawings, my Porphs are instantly recognisable as my work. I REALLY enjoy making them and if you lads and lasses enjoy seeing them, that's marvellous too.

The programme I use is Paint Shop Pro and 99% of the stuff I have shared with you on this 'ere forum so far, is all "painted" straight onto the original photo using skin colours from the model herself. There are no layers involved. The tool I use most is the airbrush. Set on different Hardness, Opacity and Size setting for different parts of the body. My technique …if  that's what you like to call it… is to slosh the paint about until the picture is kinda how I saw it in my minds eye before I started. Thank goodness for the UNLIMITED "UNDO" function….LOL

Only within the past 2 or 3 weeks have I learnt that there are fascinating things that can be done with layers. Oh, I knew that layers existed, but in my own little way I chose to ignore them, cos I was (and still am) happy with what I produce. Layers, if you will excuse the intentional pun, add a new dimension to stuff and are great fun to find out about. 1 or 2 of the pictures I have done recently are, technically, quite complicated, from my point of view anyway…some have got as many as 3 layer. LOL "WOW!! so what" I hear you say. Yeah, I know, some of you lads and lasses use as many as 15 or 16 layers, but for now, 2 or 3 extra is more than enough for me to tackle.

I hope this goes some way to answering Reasons question too. In Brief, I just squirt paint about till the picture looks right to me. If it doesnt, I erase it and start again.

more soon

Pete

If that's not an artist's response, I don't what is LOL!

You're right, you do have a unique style which comes through equally in your draiwing and "Porphs". Any chance of some step-by-step screen shots though, like some helpful artists have done in the past? Or are you saying that there are no real stages to it, you just rework different body parts as they need it. I just really like the way you shade and match the skin texture, etc.

Anyway, keep posting. Can't wait to see some more.

You're gettin' better all the time, Pete.  Some quite luscious work here.
I especially appreciated your porph of Deanna Panting – One of my all time favorite FBBs.  I noticed, though, that you did not enhance her Right bicep.  An oversight perhaps?
Hope you are enjoying your time off.
