    Art

    Im after a painting/print of a photo but I want it in the style below. Does anyone know of a website, place or whatever that I could get something like that done at? Even if its just a computer image and I get it printed elsewhere. Or even know what type of effect thats called and I can research. Thanks :)

    Yep, it takes 2 seconds to do it yourself! Then you can use photobox.co.uk or whatever to get it printed.

    Compare with the £500 it will cost you to buy exactly the same thing in a gallery :lol:

    Errrm, I've just checked and it's possible I've lied slightly :oops:

    GIMP is a free alternative to Photoshop - the filter in Photoshop that does this is called 'cutout' but I'm not sure if it made it across to GIMP...

    Obviously you'd have to pay if you wanted Photoshop ;) or I'm sure any number of people on here could do it for you :up:

    Sorry :oops:

    The effect can be described as either

    Rotoscoped / Rotoscope

    or

    Cellshaded

    .... They arent entirely like those kind of effects, but its a similar kind of thing (since the movie was rotoscoped film, with CGI added with a cell shader type effect on it).


    Might help?

    Oh, you're laughing then.

    Load the picture, click on the Filter menu -> Artistic -> Cutout

    Just play with the sliders until it looks how you want it to.

    A quick shot at an image..

    The Original..

    [​IMG]

    Modified

    [​IMG]

    This was done using the cutout filter.
    Its easier to vectorise graphics in Illustrator though.. by manually selecting the indivdual colour sections and shading them.. but it would take time.. :)

    There is a little shop in eldon square in newcastle that do this to any picture on a CD you take in, and they put it on a canvas for you.

    not sure how much they charge
