Hi Jinny, I am glad that helped, I also do real engraving. Custom made and engraved, Harley Davidson motor cycle parts is my specialty, also jewelry, guns, knifes or just about anything else that someone may want personalized.

Hi Stecyk66,
The cloned chick or bird depending on how you look at it, began as a vector line drawing, I was just learning to use painter at the time, actually I'm still learning to use all my software, the girl was scanned and cloned, then, I'm sure you know the drill, select all, backspace, Ctrl T. I imported the .bmp line drawing and pasted it as a floater, I made the floater semi transparent and aligned the drawing with the clone, then I used the softcloners as a brush to draw the feathers, I deleted the floater. Its been a while since I did the picture but I think thats how it went, it looked pretty cool so I saved it, was just an idea, give it a try its fun.
