    OK I finally got a few done.

    some are side comparisons with and without the Filter Forge metalizer filter I am so fond of.

    Here is another. Was an italic font but I changed it some. Once again I used the metalizer Filter Forge filter.

    The font used here is Cheap Sign. I like the basic idea of the font, but the dot size is too large for my taste. So I redrew the dotted areas and clipped my own halftone pattern inside, which made the result less cartoony looking. The original font is inset in the attachment.

    Good job Bob, I think I'll look up the font so I can see how yoy changed it, just to satisfy my couriosity. I'm glad I'm not alone doing these drop caps. Keep em coming.

    I think I like yours better than the original font Bob. The original does look more cartoony.

    You were. Busy Igor. Not sure if I like one any better than another. They all look good.

    As I have a bit more time in August, I thought I'd try a drop capital. The font is Vivian and it's supposed to be a kind of jewelled effect.....
