Betty Boop

[eagle1]

This is my first attempt at 3D patterns. I have this picture in a Vinyl Cut out. Brought it into Photoshop CS, played with it a while and this is what I came up with.
Betty Boop.mpc is my first one & Betty Boop-1.mpc is my second attempt.

Not the best picture of the old gal .. carved one looks a better

Eagle... I like how your depths came out very rounded and gradual... looks like your getting the hang of it for sure !

Nice work! How did you get the rounding effect to the edges. What software did you do the design in originally? Again, great job!

I did the orginal line drawing with photoshop 5 or 6, been years ago .
I used betty boop on a glass etching project for a friend of mine... I have a vinyl cutter and use it for a lot of different projects, and this idea came to me this morning .....

The rounding effect on this carving was thru Photoshop CS utilizing the feather effect and then appling a lighter fill. Of course the orginal line drawing has to be broken apart to create the different reliefs. (each section of the body, ie: arms, hair, mouth, eyes.... all have to be textured) Takes a little bit of work but I think it is worth it.

(just a note.. I gave this project to a good friend of mine at work.... Every one calls her Betty Boop when they want her attention...)

Thanks for the info. Thats kinda what I thought. Great job though :-)

It's interesting. When viewed from a distance (as in the thumbnail) it looks like a rose or a collection of leaves. Something floral and organic. Up close you can see Betty. It's a bit of an accidental optical illusion.
