Title: Some 'watercolour paintings' of klickys
Post by: MimmaBlue on January 13, 2014, 00:40:25: I have a fun new app on my phone that turns photos into (quite realistic) watercolour paintings. So of course I had to try it out with some photos of some of my favourite figures. :D

The app is called Waterlogue

It works beautifully with all kinds of photographs.

Post by: Rasputin on January 14, 2014, 02:45:22: Thank for sharing this info and you great results. I too like the geisha one, it's very appropriate looking. All geobra needs to introduce is a cherry blossom tree to go with her.

Post by: DrDalek6 on January 14, 2014, 22:42:57: Good effect that the app does a good job making them look like proper watercolours I always like how ti makes them look less like toys as well obviously they're still different from humans but, stilll less obviously toys. I've done some watercolour using watercolour pencils mainly plants and a few attempts at Action Man I've got a plan for a still life and a bee on an Echinacea but, I've never done Klickies namely because my half finished sketch of some Klicky kids toook several attempts to get the proportions looking half decent and that's still a bit of a stretch :-[ but, perhaps I should pick up my pencils and see if I can do better with watercolours.

Post by: MimmaBlue on January 24, 2014, 03:16:46: Just wanted to add this one. As I get new figures that I have been dying for I tend to take a photo of and run it through the app straight away! #strange

This is a photo of some strawberries from the garden run through the app. It has varying setting of dark/medium/light so you can control to some extent the detail.
