Need your help

[Bendita]

I guess I'm better at cutting then designing and I need your help, I lost my daughter last year due to an overdose on drugs and tomorrow is her anniversary of her passing I would really like to do a portrait of her in her memory for her son she left behind I only have this picture of her and I hope some of you talented designers can do something with it as I'm not getting anywhere yet with gimp.

Thanking you in advance.

Sorry for your loss, Hans,

I tried to make a pattern but, it came out fairly bland.

If you don't get any portraits that you like, I will try again and see what you think of what I did get.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Well as Paul said, this is a tough picture to try and get a pattern out of.  This is the best i could come up with, and its not real good.  Hope it helps though.

Good job Russ, I had a go but gave up to small a picture and came up with a line drawing instead of pattern a difficult one to work on. well done.

I smoothed this one out a little, once i looked at it again this morning i thought i could make it a little better.  So here's the one i think is a little better, at least a little smoother, idk.

Thanks everybody for the great out pouring of help I really appreciate it, they are all great but of-course being the Daddy and her being my baby girl I have certain thing I know about her that you as designer don't, especially working with such a small picture. I'm still amazed at how you came up with a pattern. My hat goes off to each and everyone of you. So what I came up with was a combination, I'm really sorry Paul but I didn't get back to the computer to see if any one else was trying to do this so you didn't get picked but I'll give you a honorable mention. No as for Russel I used most of your picture but used white out on the dimples as she didn't have any also I liked Lawson's face better especially the mouth so I cut out the mouth and taped it over the top, worked great. I'm very please thanks again everybody. Next coffee on me. I'll post the picture in a bit

[Bendita]

Here's the finished product guys I'm very happy with it, thanks a million it means a lot to me

I read this post with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye.      I am so sorry for your loss. I have five children of my own (although 3 of them are step children loved as my own flesh and blood) and can only imagine the feeling of loss. I am very proud to belong to a community that is so helpful and so supportive of its members. I wanted to personally thank the pattern makers that worked on this. I think you all are amazing people and deserve all the praise you get and much more.
