Pixlr to lasso the buddies and drag them to Waterloo Falls and XNSketch for the cartoon2 effect.

Thanks to one of my favorite gurus.

Hi Chrysta - Hello Dreamies
Whew ! It only took me 35 minutes and six tries but I think I finally managed to get this shared properly. I really appreciate all you guys do for us. Thanks bunches. tk
PS: I've added a definition to the Urban Dictionary regarding the ever newer and so very much improved google plustification.

Lingchi: Death by a thousand cuts. The Slow Death. Traditional Chinese form of torture and execution reserved for the most heinous crimes. Also the process that Google is using on Google + since it left the beta phase. A slow lingering process whereby useful features are sliced off one piece at a time.

I don't remember the exact details - but this is most of how I made that picture.

I don't reply on wordless posts until the next day usually - but I know I'm going to be out all day tomorrow so-
I trimmed my beard with a #2 guard and then ~ oh wait ! (my bad)

I used a bump map at about 50% in FastStone and then messed with the colors. I lassoed myself out and used G'MIC on the ceiling to swirl the ugly particle boards. Then I copy/pasted my eyes back in with GIMP. Pixlr would have worked okay too except that the FS bump map part.
